Intro: 
A Em D 

        Am 
On this day all the trees in Rhodesia are aflame 
As the eyes of the griever 
   Em                    D 
With flowers of aching replete 
       Am 
And my mind's overflowing with vengeance 
For to pine is not an occupation but a sentence 
     Em                             D 
And in time we will all be faking retreat 

        Am 
Have you got rid of it yet? 
This faith corroded with neglect 
Em                     D 
  Can we ever hide the hurt? 
          Am 
At least at night the harvest sun's yoke 
Is rising like rebel smoke 
Em                     D 
  Beyond the oceans in swirls 

            Am 
And it will shame us now 
            C        G 
And it will shame us still 
            Am 
And it will shame us now 
            C        G 
And it will shame us still 

Am for 4 beats 

         Am 
What a hollow promise from hollow men 
            Em                   D 
What a shallow grave for shallow men 
                     Am 
You're the bull that paws the earth 
The leopard that teaches to run 
           Em                         D 
You're the crocodile that eats the sun 

       Am                        
So we walk on through and beyond 
Em                D 
  The failures of men 
       Am 
And we know there's a void at the center 
Em        D 
  of everything 

            Am 
And it will shame us now 
            C        G 
And it will shame us still 
            Am 
And it will shame us now 
            C        G 
And it will shame us still 

play that last part again, but peppered with the following lyrics and play until end 
It was wrong to come here 
I was wrong to come here
