 Am                  F 
    Lying all night, screaming in pain 
 Am                             F 
    Defending the cross in the Belfast rain 
 C            G             F             G 
    But Billy saw me at the end of the street 
         C           G           F                G 
    So I   lit up my torch and embraced him with heat 
  
  
 Am                      F 
    ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? 340 AD 
 Am                         F 
    Threw me in a quarry no way to get free 
 C              G       F           G 
    I called on Hank to give me my life 
           C               G           F        G 
    And he   came on his black horse Obsidian Knife 
  
  
 Am                              F 
    It happened one night, I was lying in bed 
 Am                   F 
    Eyes wide open, I could have been dead 
 C           G             F              G 
    Sky lady came with her eyes shining brightly 
            C               G                 F           G 
    And the   bears and the billies and the police took flight 
  
  
 Am                                     F 
    But I called them all back, and the sky lady too 
 Am                                     F 
    The bears and the billies and the police, me and you 
 C          G        F          G 
    We laid down our bombs and bows 
        C                G                F         G 
    And   drank to their health on the Anatolian plateau 
  
  
 Am                      F 
    From New Scotland to Calgary 
 Am                        F 
    The geese are high and so are we 
 C           G    F       G 
    We don't even need a map 
 C                G             F        G 
    We're way too fast for the highway trap 
  
  
 Am                      F 
    So hit the road, and shine a light 
 Am                               F 
    I think we're going to find a path tonight 
 C           G            F        G 
    Shooting star and the moon is bad 
             C           G         F       G 
    It's the   best damn omen that we ever had
