[Verse 1]
Bm
Few of the sins of the father
       D
Are visited upon the son
A
Hearts have been hard
                                               E
Hands have been clenched in a fist too long

[Verse 2]
Bm
Our sons need never be soldiers
D
Our daughters will never need guns
A
These are the years between
                                                  E
These are the years that were hard fought and won

[Verse 3]
     Bm
Now, contracts torn at the edges
 D
Old signatures stained with tears
A
Seasons of war and peace
                               E
These should not be forgotten years

[Pre-Chorus]
          Bm
Still it aches like tetanus
It reeks of politics
A                                     G
How many dreams remain?
D                                        A
This is a feeling too strong to contain

[Chorus]
D                             Bm
The hardest years, the darkest years
G                         A
The roarin' years, the fallen years
D  Bm     A
These should not be forgotten years

     D                        Bm
The hardest years, the wildest years
G                        F#m
The desperate and divided years
Bm          A
We will remember
(These should not be forgotten years)

[Verse 4]
Bm
Our shoreline was never invaded
D
Our country was never in flames
A
This is the calm we breathe
                                          E
This is a feeling too strong to contain

[Ulangi Pre-Chorus dan Chorus 2x]

[Outro]

  D                            Bm
Forsaking, aching, breaking years
   G                              A
The time and tested heartbreak years
D
These should not be forgotten years
 Bm                              A
Who needs someone to sing to you now?

       D                            Bm
The blinded years, the binded years
            G                     Bm
The desperate and divided years
G                             F#m                     Em
These should not be forgotten years
Bm                             A
(These should not be forgotten years)

Remember
