Tuning: One semitone lower than standard

Intro: Am- F G Am- F G

Am E Am E Am
There's a man walking round the
island with a snake cane
Am E Am E Am
He picked it up in Thailand from a hurricane
C G
And you know he's not gonna go there
F G
He's been one time too long
C Am
Now all the gods are gone
(Though the game is gone)
The younger boys are
drowning in a shallow sea
The night belongs to snipers in palm trees
And their sabres flashed like lightning
In the charge of the last brigade
They must have been afraid

E
Soldiers have their sorrow
F
The wretched have their rage
Dm G
Pray for the aged it's the
dawn of another age
Am
Of another age
C
Of another age
Am
Of another age

The blood running down the
[Más Letras en es.mp3lyrics.org/Duvw]
blackboard on a blank(?)
screen (in a thin stream?)
The convicts shake their
cages of a bad dream
And they'll coach you in the
classroom that it cannot
happen here
But it has happened here
I remember nothing that I
memorized (The cockroach cops
are crawling on a battle
ground)
I got my education from a
black eye (The shields are in
the shadows, it's a college
town)
And they'll teach you law and order
If you dare to raise your hand
Spare the glove and spoil the man
Soldiers have their sorrow
The wretched have their rage
Pray for the aged
It's the dawn of another age
Of another age
Of another age

Thomas Paine and Jesse James are old friends
And Robin Hood is riding on the road again
We were born in a revolution and
we died in a wasted war
It's gone that way before
The dogs are chasing chicken
bones across the lawn
If that was an election, I'm a Viet Cong
So I pledge allegiance against the flag
and the (fall,flaw,cloth?)
for which it stands
I'll raise/raze it if I can (Pledge
allegiance to the land)
Soldier have their sorrow
The wretched have their rage
Pray for the aged
It's the dawn of another age
Of another age
Of another age
Of another age
Of another age
