Аккорды Eric Bogle - Singing The Spirit Home

[Intro]
|C |C/B |Am Asus2 |Am | x2

[Verse 1]
     C            C/B    Am          F           C
They came for him in the morning, an hour before dawning
    C          C/B      Am            F       G
The pale white moon was waning in the African sky
    C         C/B       Am         F             C
The cell door flew wide open, they stood looking at him
   C      C/B            Am         F    G        C
He saw no mercy in their hearts, no pity in their eyes

|Am Asus2 |Am |

[Verse 2]
        C        C/B      Am                  F                 C
As they took him and they bound him, tied his trembling hands behind him
   C        C/B     Am             F           G
He felt his courage leave him, his manhood disappear
    C          C/B   Am           F                  C
His legs would not support him, so from the cell they dragged him
   C          C/B          Am                 F     G        C
He sobbed and screamed and cursed them in his loneliness and fear

|Am Asus2 |Am |

[Chorus]
C       G       C
Chains, chains, chains
    F               G                 C
How many souls have died in freedom's name
   F            G               C      C/B    Am
To some it is a way of life, to others just a word
   F            G                   C      C/B     Am
To some it is a snow-white dove, to some a bloody sword
      F       G           Am    F                 G            C
But until the last chains fall, freedom will make slaves of us all

|Am Asus2 |Am |D7 |G |

[Verse 3]
     C     C/B        Am         F                     C
With faces closed and hidden the white guards walked beside him
  C         C/B    Am                     F                G
Indifferent to his pleading - they'd been down this path before
    C     C/B       Am        F               C
But other eyes were watching, other ears were listening
C     C/B         Am              F     G         C
Other hearts beat with him in his final desperate hour

|Am Asus2 |Am |

[Verse 4]
         C        C/B     Am              F                     C
From the darkness of that prison came the sound of his brothers singing
 C             C/B    Am            F            G
Courage, their voices told him, you do not walk alone
           C       C/B      Am        F                  C
From their cells beyond the shadow he heard their voices echo
      C        C/B       Am          F        G      C
As in love and pride and sorrow they sang his spirit home

|Am Asus2 |Am |

[Chorus]
C       G       C
Chains, chains, chains
    F               G                 C
How many souls have died in freedom's name
   F            G               C      C/B    Am
To some it is a way of life, to others just a word
   F            G                   C      C/B    Am
To some it is a snow-white dove, to some a bloody sword
      F       G           Am    F                 G            C
But until the last chains fall, freedom will make slaves of us all

[Verse 5]
          C       C/B      Am          F                C
And their song of hope and freedom, it rang inside that prison
   C     C/B        Am            F                   G
It beat against the iron bars and crashed against the stone
            C        C/B       Am                 F                     C
As in their fear and hate they hung him, the last sound that filled his being
        C        C/B      Am       F       G          C
Was his brothers singing, singing, singing his spirit home

[Outro]
    C                     G            C
And courage, brother, you do not walk alone.
    C                          G                C
And we shall walk with you and sing your spirit home
    C                     G            C
And courage, brother, you do not walk alone.
