For best effect, transpose two steps up and get that dramatic low E minor.
G
Here I am
Dm
In the desert again
Am
A compass and a weapon
F
A lost American
G
I started out with a simple plan
Dm
And a locket in my hand
Am
But the sun is so unforgiving
F
And the wind so hard to stand
G
Fall out, fall out
Dm
With the rest of your brothers
Am
With the rest of your sisters
F
Heroes on the line
G
Carry out what your leader says
Dm
For what his leader says
Am
Is that his leader says
F
This is right for the people
Dm G
No one will ever understand why
Dm F
Thousands of beautiful healthy young statues must fall
C Dm
Smoke and explosions surround me
Am
A flood of hate, it drowns me
F
I cannot live this way, no I cannot live with
C
Doubt and confusion
Dm
They find me
Am
They run up right behind me
F
I cannot die this way.
C Dm Am F
No, I cannot die this way
In the water, in the sand
Is the blood of a culture
Is the blood of an ancient people
In whose holy war I stand
I hear the world like a cannon roar
Say I can win this war
I promise them this
Isn’t what I signed up for
|: No one will ever understand what
Thousands of beautiful healthy young statues must fall
Smoke and explosions surround me
A flood of hate, it drowns me
I cannot live this way, mo I cannot live
With doubt and confusion
They find me
They run up right behind me
I cannot die this way
No, I cannot die this way :| x2
