Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
With all the grain [Am]of Babylon
To cultivate, to make us strong
And hidden here behind the walls
Are shoulders wide and timber on
'Til [Em]the war [G]came
[Em]'Til [Am]the war came

[Verse 2]
[Am]
A terrible autonomy
Has grafted onto you and me
Our trust put in the government
They told their lies as heaven-sent
'Til 'Til [G]the war [Em]came[G][Dsus4][G]
[Em]'Til [Am]the war came

[Verse 3]
[Am]And [F]the war came with a
[G]curse and a cater[Am]waul
And [F]the war came with all the
[G]poise of a cannon[Am]ball
And they're [F]picking out [G]our eyes
by [Dm]coal [Dsus4]and candl[Dm]elight[F]
When the war came,
[G]the war came [Am]hard

[Verse 4]
[Am]We made our oath to Vavilov
We'd not betray the solanum
The acres of asteraceae
To our own pangs of starvation
When [Em]the war [G]came
When [Am]the war came
And the [F]war

[Verse 5]
came with a
[G]curse and a cater[Am]waul
And [F]the war came with all the
[G]poise of a cannon[Am]ball
And they're [F]picking out [G]our eyes
by [Dm]coal [Dsus4]and candl[Dm]elight[F]
When the war came, [G]the war came hard
[Am]With

[Verse 6]

With all the grain of Babylon (with all
the grain of Babylon)
With all the grain of Babylon
(with all the grain of Babylon)
With all the grain of Babylon
(with all the grain of Babylon)
With all the grain of Babylon
(with all the grain of Babylon)
With all the grain of Babylon (with all
the grain of Babylon)
