I cannot promise you that this tab is 100% accurate, but I did this by ear and it sounds
correct. This is a really beautiful song that I identify with as an Irishwoman, and
a shame someone better than me hasn't tabbed it yet. Enjoy, and let me know what you think!
G C G
There's a breeze that's blowin' in from the land
G D G
Instead of salt air, all we breathe in is sand
G C G
Crippled the cloud that once brought us the rain
G D G
Good job, now we'll never see our coasts again
C C G
But those of us, those of us, us of lesser gods
G C D G
Won't eat till we're hungry, won't drink till we're parched
C C G
But those of us, those of us, who forget where we're from
G C D G
Create now this Hell where no devil could spawn
C C
Take me back, take me back
C G
To the way life used to be
G C G
A whisper's now sayin' what words used to speak
G D G
Starve must the child, hungry sex on TV
G C G
For no act of contrition will pardon the soul
G D G
The damage now glistens, see how it glows
C C
Take me back, take me back
C G
To the way life used to be
G C G
Yesterday is better than it is today
G D G
And today will be better tomorrow, they say
G C G
We don't want what you know but we know what we want
G D G
That's "live and let live," we're all different, that counts
C C G
But those of us, those of us, us of lesser gods
G C D G
Won't eat till we're hungry, won't drink till we're parched
C C G
But those of us, those of us, who forget where we're from
G C D G
Create now this Hell where no devil could spawn
C D G
Dark is the shallow man, proud without pride
D G C G
Worn out comes the welcome from a truth that never lies
D G D G
Weep now for the tear, cold on the face
D C
So come down from your heaven, Lord
G D
Let me show you Hell on earth
C G
Take me back to the way life's never been
