oh , no cannonball did fly , no rifles cut us down
C Fmaj7 Gsus2 C
no bombs fell from the sky , no blood soaked the ground

no powder flash blinded the eye , no deathly thunder sound
C Fmaj7 Gsus2 C
but just as sure as the hand of god , they brought death to my hometown
C C Gsus2 C
they brought death to my hometown , boys

no shells ripped the evening sky , no cities burning down
C Fmaj7 Gsus2 C
no armies stormed the shores for which we’d die no dictators were crowned

i awoke from a quiet night , i never heard a sound
C Fmaj7 Gsus2 C
marauders raided in the dark and brought death to my hometown , boys

they destroyed our families’ factories and they took our homes
F C G
they left our bodies on the plains , the vultures picked our bones

C Fmaj7 Gsus2 C
so listen up , my sonny boy , be ready for when they come
C Fmaj7 Gsus2 C
for they’ll be returning sure as the rising sun
C Fmaj7 Gsus2 C
now get yourself a song to sing and sing it ’til you’re done

F C F C
yeah , sing it hard and sing it well
F C F C
send the robber barons straight to hell
F C F C
the greedy thieves who came around
F C F C
and ate the flesh of everything they found
F C F C
whose crimes have gone unpunished now
F C F C
who walk the streets as free men now

C C Gsus2 C
ah , they brought death to our hometown , boys
C Gsus2 C
death to our hometown , boys
