Intro:  G   C G Em D G 

Verse: 
            G               G 
There was snow, There was snow 
                C         G 
Stretched for miles and more 
           Em               D          G 
Where we buried, where we buried our souls 


       G          G 
Oh I long, Oh I long 
          C             G 
For them days left and gone 
           Em                D                   G 
Where we sang and where we danced to a brighter song 


     Em         D                  F#m                Em         A 
But now I look upon a field with bodies stretched out and I feel nothing 
       Em                D            G              D           A 
But something's burning in my soul I let it lose control and I'm in, Oh God I've sinned 


D                   D 
But I tried so hard, and we tried so hard 
D                         D 
And it's a long long road, that you told me so 
D                    D 
Yeah I tried so hard, to forget where we are 
D 
And all we do is laugh and we sing 



D     G   D  Bm A  G 
Ohh ohh ohhhhh 
          Bm                A               G 
And we laughed oh, and we cried and thought oh, what a life 
D     G   D  Bm A  G 
Ohh ohh ohhhhh

And we laughed, and we cried and thought oh, what a life 


D                   D 
But I tried so hard, but we killed our hearts 
D              D 
In valleys low, I hear the trumpets blow 
D                     D 
Yeah, I tried so hard, yet I'm lost and scarred 
D 
And I'm filled with regret yet I sing 


D     G   D  Bm A  G 
Ohh ohh ohhhhh
