D5

[Verse]
D
Ah, the morning rose
D
The Sun exposed
D
The hell that was the day
D
As our ship struck ground
D
With a mighty sound
D
We were crushed like lifeless souls
D
And our hearts, they sank
D
With each wave they crashed
D
Another life to mourn
D
For the new black flag
D
Is the same old flag
D
We've all seen raised before

[Instrumental]
Em

Em
In the middle of hope and glory
Em
To the fields of love and hate
Em
There's a boy with his toy soldiers
Em
Playing war in a boyish way
Em
Hear the message pay the piper
Em
To a land where all is safe
Em
Cross the bridge without a border
Em
Lost forever, Somehow, we were

[Chorus]
Em
Crushed, crushed
Em
Seven long days is a lifetime
Em
We were (hushed, hushed)
Em
Under the black flag, same as the old flag
N.C.
Livin' in a world full of hostile nations

[Instrumental]
Em

[Verse]
Em
John he wrote in the beginning
Em
But the word was not the word
Em
I can claim to be the father
Em
Just the son of a human birth
Em
Kill the septic, build a lifeline
Em
Kiss the face of the lost and lonely
Em
Locking arms around the factory
Em
Breaking bones is all we are now

[Chorus]
Em
Crushed, crushed
Em
Crushed, crushed
Em
Seven long days is a lifetime
Em
We were (hushed, hushed)
Em
Under the black flag, same as the old flag
Em                                          F#m
Livin' in a world full of hostile nations

[Refrain]
F#m
Livin' in a world
F#m
Livin' in a world full of hostile
F#m
Livin in a world
F#m
Livin in a world full of hostile
F#m
Livin in a world
F#m
Livin in a world full of hostile nations

[Instrumental]
Em F#m Em

[Verse]
Em
Oh my God, what have we done here
Em
Oh my God are you still real
Em
Oh my God your cross looks broken
Em
Like the face in your imagery
Em
Hear the message, pay the piper
Em
To the land where all is safe
Em
Where the Devils and the angels
Em
Sing together on and we were

[Chorus]
Em
Crushed, crushed
Em
Seven long days is a lifetime
Em
We were (hushed, hushed)
Em
Under the black flag, same as the old flag
Livin' in a world full of hostile nations, we were

[Outro]
Em
Crushed, crushed
Em
Seven long days is a lifetime
Em
We were (hushed, hushed)
Em
Under the black flag, same as the old flag
Em
Livin' in a world full of hostile nations
Em
Living in a world
Em
Living in a world full of hostile nations
