[Intro 1]
[Am][E][Am][F][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Hello friend,
I've come a callin'
Passively stationed, active patrol
[B]Sli[Cm]din' in at high noon like
some reluctant sheriff
[Am]Not wanna get involved in it a[E]ll[Am]

[Verse 2]
[E]Who stands guard for each other?
[F]Why must we guard anything
at [Dm]all?[E]
Anything at [Am]all
[E][Am]

[Verse 3]
From the earth's four corners
the people are calling
Forming equations but
the questions are hard
[Cm]All men are brothers,
[G#]killing each [Cm]oth er
[Am]And Mother Earth is
wringing in [G]wonder

[Verse 4]
[E]Who stands guard for each other?
Oh, [F]why must we guard anything
at [Dm]all?[E]
Anything at [Am]all

[Verse 5]
Whirl [D]away [Dm]now
Whirl [G]away [Am]now[G]
Whirl away [D]now[Dm]
Whirl [Am]away

[Verse 6]
[Am]
There's a cross on the road,
there's a great mill [E]turnin'
[G]Som[Am]e seeking answers,
some born to dancers
You can [Cm]hold on the blade
and turn around forever
[Eb]Be f[Am]lung into space into
another kind of [G]grace

[Verse 7]
[E]Who stands guard for each other?
Oh, [F]why must we guard anything
at [D]all?[E]
Anything at [Am]all

[Verse 8]
Whirl [D]away now
[Dm]Whirl [G]away [Am]now[G]
Whirl away [D]now[Dm]
Whirl away
[Am]

[Verse 9]
Whirl [D]away now
Whirl [G]away [Am]now[G]
Whirl away [D]now
Whirl [Dm]away[Am]

[Verse 10]
[Am]Give [Incomprehensible]
Some [D]giveth [Am]their hand
Some giveth their land
Some giveth [E]their [Am]life

[Verse 11]
You lay in the fields of [Am]grain,
the staff of life all around you
But yet you, you will cut someone down
For their possessions,
some material thing
And our children they're being blown
away like wishes in [E]the wind
[Am]For the sake

[Verse 12]
of their coat
Or the colors of their coat
Or the color of their skin
Or the name on their shoes

[Verse 13]
And the [Am]mother [E]cries[Am]
"Why they taken my [E]son?"[G][Am]
And the father wonders
"Are they taking my boy?"

[Verse 14]
He [Am]extended his hand
He gave them his land
He gave them his bread
He gave them his heart

[Verse 15]
Said, [Am]"Hello friend"
Hello friend
Hello friend

[Outro 1]
Hello friend
[Am][Am][F][Am]
