Tap any chord in the song to see its shape. The boxes are drawn right-handed; Lefty flips them, which is how I actually play. Use − and + to move the whole song into a key that suits your voice, or tap Capo 4 to see the real chords with no capo.
Transposed. The chord names and boxes have moved; any tab on this page is still written for the original key.
Tensions rising, whispers loud
Divided voices, growing proud
Brothers, sisters, drawn apart
Lines are drawn, war's about to start
Brothers in battle, can we find a way to mend
Hearts once broken, wounds to tend
History repeats, the lessons learn
United we stand, divided we burn
Soldiers march, flags unfurl
Lives are changed, in a divided world
Families torn, hope is thin
We fight a war no one can win
Chorus TwoSame as Chorus One. Tap to open.
Brothers in battle, can we find a way to mend
Hearts once broken, wounds to tend
History repeats, the lessons learn
United we stand, divided we burn
Echoes of the past, they call
Can we rise, or will we fall
In the ashes, we must find
A way to heal, a way to bind
OutroSame as Chorus One. Tap to open.
Brothers in battle, can we find a way to mend
Hearts once broken, wounds to tend
History repeats, the lessons learn
United we stand, divided we burn
