[Em][C]

[Verse 1]
You [G]ask why we come here
and [D]sit close together
Like [C]birds of a feather with
[D]no place to go
Singing [G]songs of redemption
We'll be [D]up till the dawning
With [C]stories of [G]what's yet to come
[Am]and before[D]
So we [G]huddle together
in the [D]quest for the fire
and to [C]quench the desire of [D]what may be low
in [G]the depths of our being
where the [D]light has no sea
where [C]Christian and [G]Jew lie
re[Am]duced to [D]mere gore
in the [Em]name of a [Am]God
in the [D]name of a coun[G]try
in the [C]name of sport of a king
[Dsus4]An d his [D]duty
in the [Em]name of [Am]love,
in the [D]name of war
[G]And sti[C]ll you can't ask me
[D]what we came [G]here [D]for[Em][C]
So you [G]ask why we come here,
[D]some buckled, some dire
Preg[C]nant with hope of celes[D]tial fire
In [G]the depths of our being
That the [D]light may now see
And [C]you might not have [G]to ask
[Am]What we [D]came [Bm]here for
Is [Em]a miracle
From where [Am]dream rivers [F]flow[D]
From where [Bm]thoughts beyond
[Em]space and time
comes a [Am]glorious creature,
[G]new [C]but a teacher
and will [F]smile in her own sweet [D]time.
In the [Em]name of [Am]God,
in the [D]name of the [G]country,
In the [C]name of sport,
of the king [Dsus4]an d his [D]duty,
In the [Em]name of [Am]love, in the [D]name of [G]war,
And [C]still you can't mask [Dsus4]me.
[D]In the [Em]name of [Am]God,
in the [D]name of the coun[G]try
In the [C]name of sport,
of the king [Dsus4]an d his [D]duty
In the [Em]name of [Am]love, in the [D]name of war
[G]And sti[C]ll you cannot speak
[Dsus4]what we came[D] here for[G][D]
