send no weapons, no more money. send no vengeance across these seas
just the blessing of forgiveness for my new countrymen and me

missing brothers, martyred fellows, silent children in the ground,
could we but hear them, would they not tell us,
time to lay god’s rifle down

a/b d#m7 d c d/f# g9 d/f# c#m7
who will say this far no further, oh lord, if i die today.

c#m7 – a – a(w/ ho) – a – g9
