Alesia

Em Am9 The grass was as green as it always was that sinister day Em Am9 Em The blackbirds sang their songs as they always did that black-letter day Am9 Em We passed the great gate for the very last time Am9 I did not look back, I knew we'd stay Em Em6 Em6 G I knew they they would not let us go leave the death strip Em Em6 I saw the gleam in their eyes of fear and enslavement Em6 Em C Suffering from the crushing weight D C D B B B B B N.C. I knelt ground take me home Em Em6 Alesia, alisanos D C Wake me when I'm gone Em G Ianotouta, eternity D Em Em/C Proclaim our barren sacrifice Em Em6 On that ground we cherished life Em6 G We embraced death Em Em6 As the children's cries trailed off N.C. Sob yielded deathly hush Em Em6 Alesia, alisanos D C Wake me when I'm gone Em G Ianotouta, eternity D Em Em/C Proclaim our barren sacrifice Em Em Em/C D Em Em Em/C D C D Em D C D B B Em Em Em6 Em6 C D C B Em Am9 The grass was as green as it always was that sinister day Em Am9 As we walked the alleys like thousand times before Am9 I knew we'd stay Em Em6 Alesia, alisanos D C Wake me when I'm gone Em G Ianotouta, eternity D Em Em/C Proclaim our barren sacrifice
