	B7	B7sus	B7	B7sus
Of	walking	on the	mines I'd	laid

Chorus:

	Em	D	G	C	D	C	D
And	if I	built this f	ortre	ss aroun	d your	heart

	Em	D	G	C	D	C	D
Encirc	led	you in	trenches	and barbed	wire

	Em	D	G	C	D	C	D
Then	let me	build a	bridge,	for I	cannot fil	l the chas	m

	Eb	F	Eb	F	G
And l	et me	set the	battle	ments on f	ire

Intro riff 2 times

Verse:

Play riff #1 on these two lines

Then I went off to fight some battle

That I'd invented inside my head

Play riff #2 on these two lines

Away so long for years and years

You probably thought or even wished that I was dead

Play riff #3 for these three lines

While the armies all are sleeping

Beneath the tattered flag we made

I had to stop in my tracks for fear

	B7	B7sus	B7	B7sus
Of	walking	on the	mines I'd l	aid

Repeat Chorus

Verse:

Play riff #1 on these two lines

This prison has now become your home

A sentence you seem prepared to pay

Play riff #2 on these two lines

It took a day to build the city

We walked through it's streets this afternoon

Play riff #3 on these three lines

As I returned across the lands I'd known

I recognized the fields where I'd once played

I had to stop in my tracks fear

	B7	B7sus	B7	B7sus
Of	walking	on the	mines I'd l	aid

Repeat Chorus
