Standard (EADGBE)

minor

Battle hymns for the broken

flat minor

Battle hymns for the misled

Battle hymns for the wretched

minor

The forgotten and the dead

minor

Battle hymns of redemption

flat minor

Of solidarity and pride

Battle hymns we will be singing

minor

At the turning of the tide

minor

minor

Can you explain to the mothers

And the fathers of those

Who come riding home in coffins

minor

In their military clothes

minor

Shiny medals pinned

To their dead teenage chests

While the trumpets blare

minor

And you lie your best

minor

So ask all you want

From the dusk til the dawn

The answer's still no

minor

Cause brother I'm gone

minor

Battle hymns for the broken

flat minor

Battle hymns for the misled

Battle hymns for the wretched

minor

The forgotten and the dead

minor

Battle hymns of redemption

flat minor

Of solidarity and pride

Battle hymns we will be singing

minor

At the turning of the tide

Can you explain away the sleight of hand

minor

And the criminality

Of spending souls for oil

minor

Well in the mirror I can see

minor

I am the path that leads down

I am a dark and bloody hall

I'm the reaper, executioner

minor

Hangman, judge, and the law

minor

So tie a yellow ribbon

Round the oak tree on the lawn

But the cavalry's not comin'

minor

Cause brother they're gone

minor

Battle hymns for the broken

flat minor

Battle hymns for the misled

Battle hymns for the wretched

minor

The forgotten and the dead

minor

Battle hymns of redemption

flat minor

Of solidarity and pride

Battle hymns we will be singing

minor

At the turning of the tide

So I'm sharpening my shovel

minor

I'm firing the kiln

I'm blind and I am purposeful

minor

A martyr on the hill

minor

The dream you might be dreaming

Might be someone else's dream tonight

I'm the whisperer of misgivings

minor

I'm the fading tail light

minor

I'm the call for retribution

From the back of the smoke filled hall

I'm the vow of bitterness

minor

I'm the poison in the well

minor

I've a photographic memory

Of the deeds I will avenge

I'm the cold in the river hollow

minor

I've a hatpin, I've a plan

minor

I don't care of cause or consequence

Head shaved and body lean

I'm the go getter, the score settler

minor

I'm the shadow on the green

minor

There's a flock of blackbirds flying

Nearly ten thousand strong

Who set off this morning

minor

And brother they're gone

minor

Battle hymns for the broken

flat minor

Battle hymns for the misled

Battle hymns for the wretched

minor

The forgotten, for the dead

minor

Battle hymns of redemption

Of solidarity and pride

minor

Battle hymns we will be singing

minor

At the turning of the tide
