 A5              A5#4  A5                 E5
		       My hands are tied.           For

G                                      D/F#
all I've seen has changed my mind, but still the 

E5
wars go on as the as the years go by with no 

G              D         E G F#    E5
love of God or human rights. Cause all these dreams are swept aside by
 
G                                  E5
bloody hands of the hypnotized who carry the cross of homicide.  And

G                      D
hist'ry bears the scars of our civil wars.
