[Chorus]
A                             F#m
Your sword’s grown old and rusty
E                            D
Burnt beneath the rising sun
A                     F#m
It’s locked up like a trophy
E                          D
Forgetting all the things it’s done

A                                F#m
And though it’s been a long time
E                                  D
You’re right back where you started from
A                         F#m
I see it in your eyes
E                          D
That now you’re giving up the gun

[Verse]
A
When I was 17
F#m
I had wrists like steel
E                   D
And I felt complete

A
And now my body fades
F#m
Behind a brass charade
E                       D
And I’m obsolete

A
But if the chance remained
F#m
To see those better days
E                       D
I’d cut the cannons down

A
My ears are blown to bits
F#m
From all the rifle hits
E                         D
But I still crave that sound

[Kembali ke Chorus]

[Verse]
A
I heard you play guitar
F#m
Down at a seedy bar
E                                          D
Where skinheads used to fight

A
Your Tokugawa smile
F#m
And your garbage style
E                         D
Used to save the night

A
You felt the coming wave
F#m
Told me we’d all be brave
E                            D
You said you wouldn’t flinch

A
But in the years that passed
F#m
Since I saw you last
E                      D
You haven’t moved an inch

[Kembali ke Chorus]

[Bridge] 8x

A                     F#m
I see you shine in your way
E                         D
Go on, go on, go on

[Kembali ke Chorus]
