[Verse 1]

Em            A
   What about sunrise

Em            A

Em            A
   Is there a time
Em            A                       B
   What about all the things that you said was yours and mine

        C              D
Did you ever stop to notice
        G                D/F#   Em
All the blood we've shed before
        Am
Did you ever stop to notice

This crying Earth, these weeping shores?

   What about all the peace that you pledge your only son
Em            A
   What about flowering fields
Em            A
   Is there a time
Em            A                       B
   What about all the dreams that you said was yours and mine

This crying Earth, these weeping shores?

Am              D

Although I know we've drifted far
