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
