C#m B     C#m B
We got up early
A          E/B B
Washed our faces
C#m B      C#m B A
Walked the fields
            E/B B
And put up crosses
C#m B C#m  B   A
Passed through
           E/B  B
The damned mountains

C#m B   C#m  B
   Went hellwards
C#m B         C#m    B
   And some of us returned
C#m B         C#m     B
   And some of us did not

In the fields and in the forests
Under the moon and under the sun
Another summer has passed before us

And not one man has
And not one woman has
Revealed the secrets of this world

Chorus:
               E/B
So our young men
             B
Hid with guns
           F#m
In the dirt
                      C#m
And in the dark places

And in the dark places
Our young men hid with guns in the forests
And in the dark places

And not one man has
And not one woman has
Revealed the secrets of this world
