G5
Summer death, slow step

Walk behind the mother of the thirteen year old brown-eyed boy

Attitudes, attitudes

Sloganized by middle boots

The men who slogged the brown-eyed boy


Bb5           A5          Ab5                    G5
 And it’s the end of everything that you’ve been told about
F5
Decency, honesty
Ab5           G5             Gb5               F5                 Eb5
 And it’s the end of holding back and breaking bones and building bombs
                        Db5          Ab5          Eb5
And hanging witch-hunts conducted by men of such opinion

G5

Repeat first verse

Bb            A               Ab                G                      F
 And it’s the end of building roads to load the dead to someone else’s field
Ab            G              Gb               F                Eb
 And it’s the end of falling back on breaking backs and aching handshakes
                   Db           Ab           Eb
And playing fields conducted by men of such opinion


Bb                           Db
 But the fathers crossed you boys
                           Ab
I fire so heaven knows not only righteous folk
              B                              F#
But righteous taste hold the keys to sitting grace
                     E               B             F#
To conduct and to proclaim decisions made of such opinions

G
(guitar solo)

Bb            A              Ab
 And it’s the time of summer days
              G              F
When children sing about the killing fields
Ab      G                  Gb                  F
 Winter melts the snow and knees will crack on rock
                Eb
And the iron on earth beneath the dearth bequeathed
Db          Gb           Eb9
Penchant by men of such opinion
