[Bm]My

[Verse 2]
[Em]brother said that he was dead

Even now, I'm all alone
Be[C]hind a wall that's [B]made of [D]stone

And all the sights that [B]could be [D]seen
[Em]I

[Verse 10]

If [C]only I could for[B]ce a [D]smile[Bm]
[Em]Now we turn our backs to the sea
[C]The shame of a nation we'll [B]never be
