House Of Heroes - Code Name Raven

intro

C#m G# ( 2x )

A G#

verse :
C#m G#
maybe you’ll see me on the evening news

C#m G#
maybe you’ll see me with a bag over my head

C#m G#
if that’s the case , then i’ve met my doom ,

C#m G#
if that’s the case , then my comrades are dead .

C#m G#
and i don’t hate my enemy ,

C#m G#
i hate the cloud he’s brought over my land .

C#m G#
there’s no virtue in killing a man ,

C#m G#
neither is there virtue in being afraid to stand .

pre – chorus
C#m G#
but i saw the blackcoats forming lines ,

C#m G#
they hit our beaches running .

A E G#
we’re on our knees , but not to pray .

chorus
A E
you’re the only reason i stay

G#
in this coward’s melee .

C#m B
i’d rather die than live without mercy and love .

A E
sing while the city decays ,

G#
“we’d rather go up in flames!”

A Am
lest we betray the names of dignity and love .

verse 2

( n . C . throughout this part )
you can’t change the course of fates sealed long ago ,
but hope is not lost , “code name corbeau!”
we trade their secrets at cost for our lives .
the panzer is strong , the raven is wise .

C#m G#
i tune my ears to the bbc ,

C#m G#
i can hear them , they can’t hear me .

C#m G#
i long to forget all the horrors i’ve seen .

C#m G#
i’ll live like a ghost , i’ll die with the free .

pre – chorus
