We Came Through
(Engel)
E
We came through
We came riding through like warriors from afar
A
Our black horses danced upon the graves of yesterday's desires
E
Haunted by our visions framed in fire
I grieve you
For you still believe in what's behind the door
A
You've seen children freeze upon their knees and prayin' to the wind
E
To send their grey Madonnas back again
G F G
Fire the guns and salute the men who died for freedom's sake
F E
And we'll weep tonight but we won't lie awake
A B
Gazing up at statues dressed in stars
E A E
We won't dream for they don't come true for us, not anymore
A G
They've run far away to hide in caves with haggard burning eyes
F B7 C7
Their icy voices tear our hearts like knives
F
We came through
Like the Gothic monsters perched on Notre Dame
Bb
We observed the naked souls of gutters pouring forth mankind
F
Smothered in an avalanche of time
Ab
And we're giants
Gb Ab
As we watch our kings and countries raise their shields
Gb F
And Guevara dies encased in his ideals
Bb/F C
And as Luther King's predictions fade from view
F Bb
We came through
F Bb
We came through
F Bb
We came through
F Bb
We came riding through
fade to end
