A Proud Surrender

Tom: C

Introdução:

 C         G                     F                       C 
I was born in the northwest of England
             C                   G                     F                 C 
Where industrial shells like monuments stand
 Am               G                       F                 C 
Crumbling tombs from a forgotten land
 Am                                   G                       F 
The price for which progress was sold
 C                           G                       F 
There lies the truth so I'm told.
       C                               G           F                 C 
If together you set out to conquer a mountain
 C                     G             F                   C 
      Pity the man who dares fall behind
                         Am                   G               F                               C 
It's on the trip to the top that temperaments are tested
           Am         G                     F                     C 
It's on the decent that men tend to die
         C               G           F                             C 
Can you recognise a sin when you're sinning?
 C                   G                               F                                     C 
    Likewise tell that you're winning 'til you've won?
 Am                 G                           F                             C 
Triumph is nothing if not shared with someone
           Am             G                     F 
Take mercy succumb to the cold
 C                           G                       F 
There lies the truth so I'm told
 C                 G                 F               C 
Somewhere upon a godforsaken island
 C                       G       F                   C 
    Craggy and damp fallen men lie
 Am                 G                               F                     C 
For thirty years have their widows been weeping
 Am                       G                   F           C 
        Now their babies are waving goodbye

             C                 G                         F                 C 
Could I without question take sides for someone?
 Am               G                   F                   C 
Tie a bayonet to the end of the gun
         Am                     G                       F 
And let them decorate me with gold?
 C                           G                       F 
There lies the truth so I'm told

 C                         G               F                   C 
Is there such thing as a proud surrender?
 C                 G             F                         C 
      Is it ever the right time to run?
 Am                       G                           F                       C 
What will you tell your sweetheart at the station
           Am                 G                       F 
When her pretty waist you do hold?
 C                   G               F                       C 
Have I the heart to love without limit?
 C                   G                   F           C 
Have I the stomach to suffer unsure?
 Am                 G                   F                     C 
Have I the nerve to believe for a lifetime
 Am                     G                   F 
Fortune will favour the bold?
         C               G                         F                   C 
I'm tired of waiting to be pleasantly saved
           C               G                     F                       C 
From the purgatory my own recklessness made
 Am                     G                           F             Am 
Some days I long in the distance to hear
     C               G                           F 
A jackboot crack down the road
 C                           G                       F 
There lies the truth so I'm told
 C                           G                       F 
There lies the truth so I'm told
