[Verse 1]
        G                G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
   Em             Em
To glisten once again
     C                  C
Five hundred years like Gelignite
     Em              D
Have blown us all to hell (to hell!)
     G                           G
What savior rests while on his cross we die
   Em             Em
Forgotten freedom burns
        C                C
Has the Shephard led his lambs astray
       Em            D
to the bigot and the gun
 
[Chorus]
        C               G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
    C              D
To glisten once again
         G        C            G       Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
        G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies
 
[Post-chorus]

[Verse 2]
  G                   G
I watch and stare as Rosin`s eyes
         Em            Em
Turn a darker shade of red
         C               C
And the bullet with this sniper lie
         Em              D
In their bloody gutless cell
         G                    G
Must we starve on crumbs from long ago
              Em                Em
Through these bars of men made steel
          C                        C
Is it a great or little thing we fought
          Em                    D
Knelt the conscience blessed to kill
 
[Chorus]
        C               G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
    C              D
To glisten once again
         G        C            G       Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
        G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies
 
[Bridge]
        C              D         G
Ah, but maybe it`s the way we're taught
   C              D      G
Or maybe it`s the way we fought
      C           D             G        C
But a smile never grins without tears to begin
         C         D          G    G
For each kiss is a cry we all lost
       C               G
Though nothing left to gain
            C                      D
But for the banshee that stole the grave
         G        C            G       Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
        G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies (right!)

[Verse 3]
   G                  G
I sit in and dwell on faces past
     Em               Em
Like memories seem to fade
      C            C
No color left but black and white
    Em                  D
And soon will all turn grey
              G               G
But may these shadows rise to walk again
      Em           Em
With lessons truly learnt
         C                  C
When the blossom flowers in each our hearts
      Em               D
Shall beat a new found flame (the flame!)
 
[Chorus]
        C               G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
    C              D
To glisten once again
         G        C            G       Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
        G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies
 
[Outro]
         G        C            G       Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
        G           D       G
Singin' drunken... lul... abies
        G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies
