[Intro]
G Em C D
[Verse 1]
G
Well the work of working people
Em
Seldom fruits in their own time
C
So they labor for their children
D
With stardust in their eyes
G
Knowing all too well that through their days
Em
They will never see a time
C
When the hands that keep them bent and kneeled
D
Fall prey to their own lies
[Chorus]
G G/F# Em
But now some strange notion
D
Has taken ahold of us
Am
It’s the common nation of sorrow
D
Hear the boots march through the dust
C
When so much pain is intertwined
C
There are none who can tear it down
D
You cannot bury those already
Em
Resting beneath the ground
[Verse 2]
G
And the tears well up within us
Em
For the universal truth
C
That our mothers loved us fiercely
D
Though they knew not what to do
G
And with their love, we’ll look around
Em
We will try to recognize
C
What it takes to build foundations
D
That will stand the test of time
[Chorus 2]
G G/F# Em
But now some strange notion
D
Has taken ahold of us
Am
It’s the common nation of sorrow
D
Hear the boots march through the dust
C
When so much pain is intertwined
C
There are none who can tear it down
D
You cannot bury those already
Em
Resting beneath the ground
G Em C D (x2)
[Verse 3]
G
Well time goes marching on
Em
Yea the ghost of the living past
C
But the dead will finally sleep so sweet
D
When the people rise at last
[Chorus 3]
G G/F# Em
But now some strange notion
D
Has taken ahold of us
Am
It’s the common nation of sorrow
D
Hear the boots march through the dust
C
When so much pain is intertwined
C
There are none who can tear it down
D
You cannot bury those already
Em
Resting beneath the ground
