Dm Dm
Can you explain to the mothers
F F
And the fathers of those
C C
Who come riding home in coffins
Dm Dm
In their military clothes
Dm Dm
Shiny medals pinned
F F
To their dead teenage chests
C C
While the trumpets blare
Dm Dm
And you lie your best
Dm Dm
So ask all you want
F F
From the dusk til the dawn
C C
The answer's still no
Dm Dm
Cause brother I'm gone

Can you explain away the sleight of hand
Am Am
And the criminality
C C
Of spending souls for oil
Dm Dm
Well in the mirror I can see
Dm Dm
I am the path that leads down
F F
I am a dark and bloody hall
C C
I'm the reaper, executioner
Dm Dm
Hangman, judge, and the law
Dm Dm
So tie a yellow ribbon
F F
Round the oak tree on the lawn
C C
But the cavalry's not comin'
Dm Dm
Cause brother they're gone

Battle hymns for the broken

Of solidarity and pride
C C A A
Battle hymns we will be singing
Dm Dm
At the turning of the tide
F F C C A A
So I'm sharpening my shovel
Am Am
I'm firing the kiln
C C
I'm blind and I am purposeful
Dm Dm
A A martyr on the hill
Dm Dm
The dream you might be dreaming
F F
Might be someone else's dream tonight
C C
I'm the whisperer of misgivings
Dm Dm
I'm the fading tail light
Dm Dm
I'm the call for retribution
F F
From the back of the smoke filled hall
C C
I'm the vow of bitterness
Dm Dm
I'm the poison in the well
Dm Dm
I've a photographic memory
F F
Of the deeds I will avenge
C C
I'm the cold in the river hollow
Dm Dm
I've a hatpin, I've a plan
Dm Dm
I don't care of cause or consequence
F F
Head shaved and body lean
C C
I'm the go getter, the score settler
Dm Dm
I'm the shadow on the green
Dm Dm
There's a flock of blackbirds flying
F F
Nearly ten thousand strong
C C
Who set off this morning
Dm Dm
And brother they're gone
Dm Dm F F
Battle hymns for the broken
Bb Bb Am Am
Battle hymns for the misled
C C A A
Battle hymns for the wretched
Dm Dm
The forgotten, for the dead
Dm Dm F F
Battle hymns of redemption
C C A A
Of solidarity and pride
Dm Dm
Battle hymns we will be singing
Dm Dm
At the turning of the tide
