Am F
Lying all night, screaming in pain
Am F
Defending the cross in the Belfast rain
C G F G
But Billy saw me at the end of the street
C G F G
So I lit up my torch and embraced him with heat
Am F
??? ??? ??? ??? ??? 340 AD
Am F
Threw me in a quarry no way to get free
C G F G
I called on Hank to give me my life
C G F G
And he came on his black horse Obsidian Knife
Am F
It happened one night, I was lying in bed
Am F
Eyes wide open, I could have been dead
C G F G
Sky lady came with her eyes shining brightly
C G F G
And the bears and the billies and the police took flight
Am F
But I called them all back, and the sky lady too
Am F
The bears and the billies and the police, me and you
C G F G
We laid down our bombs and bows
C G F G
And drank to their health on the Anatolian plateau
Am F
From New Scotland to Calgary
Am F
The geese are high and so are we
C G F G
We don’t even need a map
C G F G
We’re way too fast for the highway trap
Am F
So hit the road, and shine a light
Am F
I think we’re going to find a path tonight
C G F G
Shooting star and the moon is bad
C G F G
It’s the best damn omen that we ever had
