[Intro 1]
[F#m][Dsus4][D][C][Am][G][Dsus4][F#m][Dsus4][D][C][G][Dsus4][D][Asus4]
[Am][D][Dsus4][G][D]

[Verse 1]
Whatever [D]it was, it wasn't manumis[Am]sion
[Asus4]To spill the blood[Dsus4],
to pull the [D]weed
You can bury the past,
but it's a mauso[C]leum[G]
With the [Am]ghost of a [Dsus4]fist
that won't let us be
[D]

[Verse 2]
Can we bring it togeth[Am]er
[Dsus4]Can we call from[Am] the mountain[G]
[Dsus4]to the valley be[G]low?
[Dsus4]Can we[G][Dsus4][G][D]
make [Asus4]it better[Am]
Do we tether [G]the hawk,
[Dsus4]do we tether th[G]e dove?[D][G]
I [D]kicked up the

[Verse 3]
dirt,
and I said to my [Am]neighbor
We keep making [C]it worse,
we keep getting it [D]wrong
[Dsus4]He tucked in his [D]shirt,
[Dsus4]he stood [D]a little bit straighte[Am]r
We need a few less [C]words dear,
we need a few more guns
[D][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 4]
Will it bring us to[Am]gether
Can we call from [G]the mountain to the
valley be[D]low?[Dsus4][G][D]
Can we make it bet[C]ter[Am]
Do we tether the [G]hawk, do [Dsus4]we tether the [D]dove?[C]
[Dsus4]

[Interlude 1]
[D][Am][G][D]
[Am][G][D]
[Dsus4][C][D]

[Verse 5]
Enduring [E]love
Why so [G]much and so strong,
[D]beyond[C] this short existenc[G]e?[F#m]
Don't be [G]still
You say there's a [D]long line behind you
And it's [C]hardly worth
the men[G]tioning[F#m]
But I [G]will

[Verse 6]
'Cause we may [D]flicker and fade
But we [C]never will be through [G]with this
I see [D]this [Dsus4]world bat[D]tered
but [Dsus4]not broke[Am]n
[D]There's [Am]a fallow [C]heart,
it's waiting on a sowing [D]hand
You can grow [Dsus4]what you want[D][Dsus4]
[D]One day it's gonna ris[Am]e up
[C]So plant what you nee[G]d to make
a better stand
[D][C][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 7]
And we'll bring it to[Am]gether[D]
And we'll call from [G]the mountain to the
valley be[D]low[Dsus4][Dm][Dsus4][G][D]
And we'll make it bet[Am]ter
Let go of the [G]hawk,
we let go of the [D]dove
[C][D]

[Verse 8]
[D]Can bring it togeth[Am]er[C]
Call [Am]from [G]the mountain to the valley [D]below
I'm [G]telling you [D]now
And we'll make it [C]bet[Am]ter
[C]Do we tether the haw[G]k, do we tether the[D][Dsus4][C][D]
[Am][C][G][D]
[Am][G][D][F]
[D]dove?
