Verse:
        G                               Em
Must it take a life for hateful eyes to glisten once again
C                                      Em              D
Five hundred years like Gelignite have blown us all to hell
G                                              Em
What savior rests while on his cross we die forgotten freedom burns
C                                           Em            D
Has the Shepard led his lambs astray to the bigot and the gun

Pre-chorus
C                       G               Em            D
Must it take a life for hateful eyes to glisten once again
         G        C            Em                    G       D    G
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess singin' drunken lullabies

  G                                      Em
I watch and stare as Rosin`s eyes turn a darker shade of red
C                                            Em             D
And the bullet with this sniper lie in their bloody gutless cell
G                                                    Em
Must we starve on crumbs from long ago through these bars of men made steel
C                                                 Em                    D
Is it a great or little thing we fought knelt the conscience blessed to kill

Pre-chorus

        C              D         G         C              D      G
Ah, but maybe it`s the way we're taught or maybe it`s the way we fought
      C           D             G                       C         D          G
But a smile never grins without tears to begin for each kiss is a cry we all lost
       C               G                Em                     D
Though nothing left to gain but for the banshee that stole the grave
         G       C             Em                    G       D    G
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess singin' drunken lullabies

G                                     Em
I sit in and dwell on faces past like memories seem to fade
C                                      Em                 D
No colour left but black and white and soon will all turn grey
G                                             Em
But may these shadows rise to walk again with lessons truly learnt
C                                                 Em               D
When the blossom flowers in each our hearts shall beat a new found flame


C                       G               C            D
Must it take a life for hateful eyes to glisten once again
         G       C             Em                    G       D    G
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess singin' drunken lullabies
         G       C             Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
        G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies
        G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies
