Intro: D

   verse 1 
A             D                A       G 
I´ve seen the sunlight shining on the valley  
A             D               A     G 
I´ve seen the shadows darken on the deep  
A             D                A        G 
I´ve seen the young men riding out for glory 
    Em     A   D       A  G 
And broken in defeat 
  
   verse 2 
A            D               A       G 
There was an hour that never knew a gloaming 
A            D                A   G 
The whole of life, enchanted in a day 
A            D              A      G 
And we´ll be there, forever in the places 
      Em   A     D     A  G 
Where we used to be 

   verse 3 
A              D            A           G 
I see the hedgerows, moving through the orchards 
A           D                   A       G 
Through the bocàge and breaking out for Caen 
A        D               A      G 
Dealing fear and all our dices loaded 
         Em       A      D    Dsus4 
With the courage of the dawn 

     Bm                A         D 
And some will rise and some will fall 
    G       Bm       Em      A 
To gain the world or lose it all 
     Bm               Em       G 
And that time was mine to hear you 
          A       A7sus4 
when you called 
    Bm                  A         D 
You were our youngest, brightest flower 
    G        Bm                  Em      A 
Walking side by side through our darkest hour 
      Bm        Em        G        A        A7sus4 
We´ll take this cup, this portion evermore 

   verse 4 
A              D                 A      G 
I´ve seen the last wave breaking on the beaches 
A              D               A   G 
I´ve seen the angels crying on the wire 
A             D                 A        G 
I´ve seen the first star up and brightly shining 
         Em   A     D        A   G 
Couldn´t rise much higher 

   Verse 5 
A         D                A   A7  G 
Now we´re waiting here not getting older 
A       A7  D                 A    G  
But we can dream like we can not believe 
A    A7        D                  A  A7    G 
With all those fools, those great historic moments 
          Em  A   D      Dsus4 
That flatter do deceive. 

    Bm                  A        D 
And some will come and some will go 
    G      Bm       Em       A 
To rise on wings in skies of gold 
      Bm        Em     G       Em      A    Asus4 
Or to fall down to the final, silent cold 
     Bm                    A   D 
When I was young it burned so bright 
     G   Bm        Em   A 
The only son, a rising Christ 
     Bm       Em          G          Em    A     Asus4 
Now I´m left here in the fall-out of that life 

   Outro to fade 
Bm  G  D  A            Bm    G    D   A 
          The rise and fall 
Bm  G  D  A            Em   Em7  A       
          The rise and fall 
Bm  G  D  A            Bm    G    D   A 
          The rise and fall 
Bm  G  D  A            Em   Em7  A       
          The rise and fall
