[Verse 1]
[C]Xay[Am]ah,
[D]you were always [Am]on my mind
And I want a family re[D]union in
the sky in [Am]due time
Xayah, [D]my absent time with the
[Am]loved ones towards you
Oh, I want you
And you [Dm]greet [D]me with
your arms wide [Am]open
And open them for
Roman's road is full
of these potholes
And the plow grows and it [Dm]thickens
[D]And we're [Dm]all frozen and s[C]mitten
Like we all chose [Am]to be victims
But the wall shows me what's written
I was measured and weighted,
I [D]missed it
Found one that dis[Dm]carded and [C]distant
Ain't resorted to carving my [Am]wrists yet
But I've been tempted since
that sinister infection
[D]Friend step when this gets desperate
[C]Wind sprint when my skin's leprous
[Am]Left dead by my kindred
When my second dread said
Listen, [D]let's live this
Instead of this [C]reckless
Let's, let's, [Am]let's
yes and it's just us now
The lepers have stuck their sound
[Dm]No s[D]ign of a full family
[C]Pump[Am]ing the [C]same blood now
[Am]Nothing but up now
Now we struck out to see what clouds
We can [D]touch now
Well it's under the [C]blood [Am]now
[D]You were always [Am]on my
mind and I don't want
A family re[D]union in the
sky of [Am]new times
Cause I have
A [D]miles in time with the
[Am]loved ones towards you
I don't want
You to [Dm]greet [D]me with your arms
wide [Am]open and open and wide
What can I [F]say?[Am]
[F]Wha[Am]t can I say[F]?
Better is [D]one day
Better is one [Dm]day[D][Am][D][C][Am]

[D][C][Am]
[D][Am][C]
[Am]Alongside
Avalon's rivers,
we sat on the frozen ice -cold banks
We [Dm]wept and we [D]cried and we [Dm]bribed,
remember the [C]sweet good old days
Along[Am]side the blackening crackling aspens,
that's our breaking heart
Weep[Dm]ing prof[D]usely besides ourselves,
[C]we stacked our unplayed hearts
[Am]That's when the captors demanded a song,
sarcastic and mocking and egging us on
[D]Sing us a ballad of valor, you speak of the [C]banner,
you preach of the song of
Zion
Oh [Am]how could we ever sing
God's song in this wasteland,
in your face man
If [D]I ever forget your
Jerusalem, lose me [C]in quicksand,
well I just can't
My [Am]fingers they wither and fall like ash
My tongue be swollen
and then turn black
[Dm]If I f[D]ail to remember you
Zion
My [C]lion might bite the
spine out my back
[Am]God remember those
Shaddamites now
Remember they ruined
Jerusalem's walls
Remem[D]ber they yelled out let's
smash it to pieces
Let's [C]work it completely
Jerusalem balls
[Am]Babylonian unholy ones
Raiders and savages ravaging hunts
[D]Lord a reward to whoever
gets back at them
[C]For their crime and all that they [Am]done
The city of
David where
Israel walks
Solomon's temple of
Zion I tongue
[D]Yes, a reward to the one
who grabs
Babylon's [Am]babies to go smash
your [C]heads on the rocks
Cause
[Am]I, y[F]ou w[Dm]ere a[D]lways
[Am]on my mind
And I want a family re[D]union
in the sky in [Am]due time
Cause
I, I'm [D]marching time with the
[Am]loved ones towards you
I want you to [D]greet me with your
arms wide [Am]open and open
Cause
I, [D]you were always [Am]on my mind
And I want a family re[D]union
in the sky in [Am]due time
Cause
I, I'm [D]marching time with the
[Am]sad ones towards you
