V1     G                D
I was walking far from home
            Em                       C 
Where the names were not burned along the wall
       G                 D

        Em                  C    
But the door was so small, door was so small

And a bridge that had tumbled to the ground
       G                D

And I dreamt of that sound, dreamt of that sound

But I carried your letters all the while
       G                D

Whisper "want me like time, want me like time"

I saw blood and a bit of it was mine
       G                D
I saw children in a river
            Em                       C
But their lips were still dry, lips were still dry

I was walking far from home
            Em                       C
And I found your face mingled in the crowd
       G                D
Saw a boat full of believers
            Em                       C
Sail off talking too loud, talking too loud

Saw a bird fall like a hammer from the sky

An old woman on the speed train
            Em                       C
She was closing her eyes, closing her eyes

V7     G                D
I saw flowers on a hillside
            Em                       C
And a millionaire pissing on the lawn
       G                D
Saw a prisoner take a pistol            
Em                       C
And say "join me in song, join me song"

V8     G                D
Saw a car crash in the country
            Em                       C
Where the prayers run like weeds along the road
       G                D
I saw strangers stealing kisses            
Em                       C                      
Leaving only their clothes, only their clothes

And a pair of hearts carved into a stone

Crying take me back home, take me back home

Saw a highway, saw an ocean
            Em                       C
I saw widows in the temple to the Lord
       G                D
Naked dancers in the city
            Em                       C
How they spoke for us all, spoke for us all

I saw loaded linen tables
            Em                       C
And a motherless colt then it was gone
       G                D
I saw hungry brothers waiting
            Em                       C
With the radio on, radio on

I was walking far from home
            Em                       C
Where the names were not burned along the wall
       G                D
Saw a wet road form a circle
            Em                       C
And it came like a call, came like a call from the Lord
