C            F7M            G9         C 
Oh, no cannonball did fly, no rifles cut us down 
C             F7M            G9            C 
No bombs fell from the sky, no blood soaked the ground 
   C                F7M           G9           C 
No powder flash blinded the eye, no deathly thunder sound 
    C                   F7M                     G9           C 
But just as sure as the hand of God, they brought death to my hometown 
C            C        G9  C 
They brought death to my hometown, boys

C                    F7M           G9          C 
No shells ripped the evening sky, no cities burning down 
          C                      F7M             G9          C 
No armies stormed the shores for which we'd die no dictators were crowned 
C              F7M          G9         C 
I awoke from a quiet night, I never heard a sound 
  C              F7M                   G9           C 
Murderers raided in the dark and brought death to my hometown, boys 
C        G9  C 
Death to my hometown

        F                              C 
They destroyed our families' factories and they took our homes 
     F                                  C                   G 
They left our bodies on the plains, the vultures picked our bones 
 
 
   C             F7M         G9               C 
So listen up, my sonny boy, be ready for when they come 
C                F7M        G9         C 
For they'll be returning sure as the rising sun 
    C              F7M            G9               C 
Now get yourself a song to sing and sing it 'til you're done 
 
      F       C        F       C 
Yeah, sing it hard and sing it well 
         F      C      F           C 
Send the robber barons straight to hell 
    F      C           F     C 
The greedy thieves who came around 
    F       C             F          C 
And ate the flesh of everything they found 
      F           C      F        C 
Whose crimes have gone unpunished now 
    F        C          F        C 
Who walk the streets as free men now 
 
C                C        G9   C 
Ah, they brought death to our hometown, boys 
C        G9   C 
Death to our hometown, boys 
C        G9   C 
Death to our hometown, boys 
C        G9   C 
Death to our hometown, whoa!
