[Verse 1]
G G G G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
Em Em Em Em
To glisten once again
C C C C
Five hundred years like Gelignite
Em Em D D
Have blown us all to hell (to hell!)
G G G G
What savior rests while on his cross we die
Em Em Em Em
Forgotten freedom burns
C C C C
Has the Shephard led his lambs astray
Em Em D D
to the bigot and the gun

[Chorus]
C C G G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
C C D D
To glisten once again
G G C C G G Em Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
G G D D G G
Singin' drunken lullabies

[Post-chorus]
| G G | C C G G | G G | D D |
| G G | C C G G | G G D D | G G |

[Verse 2]
G G G G
I watch and stare as Rosin`s eyes
Em Em Em Em
Turn a darker shade of red
C C C C
And the bullet with this sniper lie
Em Em D D
In their bloody gutless cell
G G G G
Must we starve on crumbs from long ago
Em Em Em Em
Through these bars of men made steel
C C C C
Is it a great or little thing we fought
Em Em D D
Knelt the conscience blessed to kill

[Chorus]
C C G G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
C C D D
To glisten once again
G G C C G G Em Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
G G D D G G
Singin' drunken lullabies

[Bridge]
C C D D G G
Ah, but maybe it`s the way we're taught
C C D D G G
Or maybe it`s the way we fought
C C D D G G C C
But a smile never grins without tears to begin
C C D D G G G G
For each kiss is a cry we all lost
C C G G
Though nothing left to gain
C C D D
But for the banshee that stole the grave
G G C C G G Em Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
G G D D G G
Singin' drunken lullabies (right!)

[Solo]
| G G | C C G G | G G | D D |
| G G | C C G G | G G D D | G G |

| G G | C C G G | G G | D D |
| G G | C C G G | G G D D | G G |

| C C | G G | C C | D D |
| G G D D | Em Em G G| G G D D | G G |

[Verse 3]
G G G G
I sit in and dwell on faces past
Em Em Em Em
Like memories seem to fade
C C C C
No color left but black and white
Em Em D D
And soon will all turn grey
G G G G
But may these shadows rise to walk again
Em Em Em Em
With lessons truly learnt
C C C C
When the blossom flowers in each our hearts
Em Em D D
Shall beat a new found flame (the flame!)

[Chorus]
C C G G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
C C D D
To glisten once again
G G C C G G Em Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
G G D D G G
Singin' drunken lullabies

[Outro]
G G C C G G Em Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
G G D D G G
Singin' drunken... lul... abies
G G D D G G
Singin' drunken lullabies
