[Verse 1]
[C]We [D]met[C][Am][D][Am][F][D][G][D]
as [Am]soulmates on Paris [G]Island
We left as [Am]inmates from [D]an [G]asylum
And we [Bm]were sharp, [Em]as sharp as k[Bm]nives
An[Em]d we were so[Am] gung -ho
to lay down our lives
[D]We came in spa[Am]stic, like tameless hor[G]ses
We left in [Am]plastic, as [D]numbered [G]corpses
And we learned [Bm]fast, [Em]to travel light
[Bm]Our [Em]arms were heavy[Am]
but our bellies were [F]tight[D]
We had no [Am]cameras
to shoot the [G]landscape
We passed a [Am]hash pipe
and played [G]doorsteps
And it was [Bm]dark, [Em]so dark at ni[Bm]ght
An[Em]d we held on[Am] to each other
Like brother to brother
We [F]promised our mothers [D]we'd ride
And we would [G]all go [C]down togeth[D]er
[C]We [D]said we'd [G]all go [C]down togeth[D]er
[C]Yes, we would [G]all go [C]down
to[F]gether[D]
Remember [Am]Charlie?
Remember [G]Baker?
They left their [Am]childhood on every [G]acre
And who was [Bm]wrong?
[Em]And who was [Bm]right?[D]
[Em]It didn't ma[Am]tter in the
thick of the [F]fight
[Am]We held [G]the day [C]in t[D]he
[Em]palm [D]of our [Am]hand
They ruled the [C]night,
an[D]d the n[Em]ight s[D]eemed to
[G]last as long as [Am]six weeks
On Paris [G]Island, we hailed the [Am]coastline
They hailed the [G]highlands,
and they were [Bm]sharp
[Em]As sharp as kn[Bm]ives
[Em]They heard the [Am]hum of the motors
They counted the roses
and [F]waited for us to [D]arrive
And we would [G]all go [C]down togeth[D]er
[C]We [D]said we'd [G]all go [C]down togeth[D]er
[C]Yes, we would [G]all go [C]down [F]together
[D]
