Standard (EADGBE)

And now they're trying to take my life away

forever young I cannot stay.

On every corner I can see them there

They don't know my name they, don't know my kind

They're after you with their promises (Promises of love)

They're after you to sign your life away.

68 guns will never die

68 guns our battle cry,

68 guns, 68 guns

For living in the backstreets that's our home from home.

The painted walls are all we've ever known

And"The Guns Forever" that's our battle cry.

It is the flag that we fly so high

and every day they try to drag us down

but I cry with anger I have done no crime.

Up no the terrace I can hear the crowd roar (68 guns)

And down in the subway I can hear them whisper (68guns)

Through all the raging glory of the years

 We never once thought of the fears

 For what we'd do when the battle cry was over.

 Nothing lasts forever is all they seem to tell you

 when you're young

 Have no illusion, no disillusion
