[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C]
[Em][Am][G][F]

[Verse 1]
I [Em]hear
the air raid sirens
[Am]Howling out so violent
[G]And the churchyard gates are closed
[F]I'v[Am]e see[Em]n the
rich men [Am]smiling
Newborn babies dying
[G]And I don't know where [F]to go[Am]
[Em]Machine guns cracking, snapping
[Am]The sound of windows smashing
[G]I'm afraid I'll lose my [F]mind
[Am]I he[Em]ar strange
sounds like singing
[Am]And I'd do anything
[G]To be at peace with you tonight
[F]Wel[G]l, [Am]I'll[Dm] make this all quite clear
[G]You[Dm] see,
I'm kind of young [G]in years
[Dm]And I found myself a[G]board
[Dm]This broken burning [G]ship
[Dm]This broken, [G]ship[Em]
[Am][G][F]
Lu[Em]cia sits beside you
[Am]Shedding all her virtue
[G]Smiling with her glazed blue [F]eyes
[Am]All [Em]that she's been through
[Am]Asking if it's true
[G]But they've only told her [F]lies
[Em]I've watched her trampled under
[Am]For a pusher's plunder
[G]I'd like to break his head in [F]two
If [Am]I had[Em] the force of thunder
[Am]I'd smash you all [G]asunder
For the way she's been abused
[F]Wel[G]l, I'l[Am]l[Dm]
make this all quite [G]clear
[Dm]You see I'm kinda young [G]in years
An[Dm]d I found myself abo[G]ard
[Dm]This broken, [G]ship
[Dm]This broken, ship
