[G][D]

[Verse 1]
It's [D]so quiet in the
ru[G]ins [D]walking though the old tow[G]n[D]
Stones crumbling un[G]der my feet I see
[D]smoke for miles [G]around[D]
Oh it's enough to make [G]you weep,
[D]all that remains of the main str[G]eet[D]
Up in the park on Sunday,
[G]dog[D]s chasing and the children p[G]layed[F]
Old man with his [C]head down,
[F]can't see nothing mor[A]e around, no
[D]

[Verse 2]
But [G]he remembers how it [D]used to be,
[G]back in the old days,
[D]So nice to see you coming
[G]back in this town again
[Em]It's nice to see a friendly [C]face come
[G]peeping through having tea
[A]In the afternoon, [D]so nice to see you coming [G]back

[Interlude 1]
in this town again
[Em][C][G][A]

[G][D]

[Verse 3]
Ah but it's all [G]changed [D]winter
turned on [G]a man[D]
Came down on day when no-
[G]one was looking and [D]it
Stole away the land,
[G]peo[D]ple running scared[G], losing hands
[D]Dodging shadows of [G]falling sand,
[D]buildings standing lik[G]e empty she[D]lls
And nobody...helping no- [G]one [F]else
Young child with his [C]hands high,
[F]ain't able to see no [C]reason why[A], no[D]

[Verse 4]
[G]But he remembers how it used to [D]be,
back in the [G]old days,
[D]So nice to see you[G] coming
back in this town again
[Em]It's nice to see a friendly face[C]
come peeping [G]through
You'd better know [A]what
you're going through now
You came back here to find your
home is [D]a black horizon

[Verse 5]
That [A]you don't recognize,
evil destruction has taken [D]everything
You'd better walk on [A]the side
while you're still walking
Just keep on walking [D]on down
the street keep your dis[A]tance
From the people you meet.

[Verse 6]
Oh Lord and you'd [A]better
watch your eyes
'Cause [D]if smoke gets in them,
[A]baby you won't [G]rise [D]aga[G]in.[Em][C][G][A][D]
[G][D][G][D]
[G][D][G][D]
Where's it leading [G]to[D]
freedom at what [G]cost
[D]People needing mor[G]e and more
and it's all [D]getting [G]lost[D]
I want back[G], I[D] want back[G]
[D]Back to the time when the
[G]earth was green
And there was [D]no high walls
and the sea [G]was [F]clean
Don't stop that [C]sun to shine,
[F]it's not you[A]rs or mine, no.[D]
[G]
