Verse:
D5 E5 D5 C5 D5
I thought i heard something calling me
E5 D5 C5 D5
I’d seen the pictures on TV
E5 D5 C5 D5
So i made up my mind that I’d go and see
E5 D5 C5 D5
With my own eyes
E5 D5 C5 D5
It didnt take too long, to hitch a ride
E5 E5 C5 D5
With a guy going south, to start a new life
E5 D5 C5 D5
Past the place where my friend died two years ago
Pre-Chorus (lyrics change 2nd time around):
(Just single strokes on each chord now...)
E5 D5 C5 D5
Down the 303 at the end of the road
E5 D5 C5 D5

Verse: As the sun rose on the beanfield
They came like wolf on the fold
And no they didnt give a warning
they took their bloody toll
I’ve seen a pregnant women
lying in blood of her own
i’ve seen her children crying
as the police tore apart their home
Pre-Chorus
And n they didnt need a reason
Its what your votes condone
it seems they were commiting treason
By trying to live on their own
Chorus
