D Am C G
When we came upon the plain you could hear the children saying
D Am C C
There's no way we're gonna take that city there
D Am C G
'Cause there's nothing but the wind is going out or coming in
D Am C C
Over ramparts reaching that far up in the air
Am G D Am C
And the city like a drum was beaten by the long arm of the sun
C G
.... the long arm of the sun
D - Am - C - G D - Am - C
Ohhhh Ohhhh
D Am C G
Through the clouds of dust we raised we marched around that place for days
D Am C C
The priests would blow on the ram's horns now and again
D Am C G
But no other sound we made so from above they watched amazed
D Am C C
For it was like a race of wraiths beseiged them
Am G D Am C
And it went down as a rout we razed those walls with nothing but a shout
C G
.... nothing but a shout
D - Am - C - G D - Am - C
Ohhhh Ohhhh
Am G D Am C
And the city like a drum was beaten by the long arm of the sun
C G
.... the long arm of the sun
