[Bm] [A] [G] [A]
Watching them c[Bm]ome and go
The templars and the S[A]aracens
They're traveling the h[G]oly land
Opening te[A]legrams
Torture comes and to[Bm]rture goes
Knights who'd give you a[A]nything
They bear the cross of c[G]oeur de lion
Salvation for the m[A]irror blind [F#]
But if you p[G]ray all your s[F]ins are hooked u[Cm]pon the [Cm7]sky
C G Cm (riff 2)
Pray and the heathen lie will disappear
[G]Prayers they hide the saddest [A7add4]view
[A6]Believing the strangest things, loving the a[A7add4]lien
And your p[G]rayers they break the sky in [A7add4]two
Believing the st[A6]rangest things, loving the a[A7add4]lien
Thinking of a di[Bm]fferent time
Palestine a mo[A]dern problem
Bounty and your we[G]alth in land
Terror in a b[A]est laid plan
[Bm]Watching them come and go
Tomorrows and[A] the yesterdays
Christians and[G] the unbelievers
Hanging by the c[A]ross and nail[F#]
But[G] if you pray a[F]ll your sins are[Cm] hooked [Cm7]upon the sky
C G Cm (riff 2)
Pray and the heathen lie will disappear
[G]Prayers they hide the saddest [A7add4]view
Believing the [A#6]strangest things, loving the [A7add4]alien
And your p[G]rayers they break the sky in [A7add4]two
Believing the st[A#6]rangest things, loving the al[A7add4]ien
[G]You'll pray till the break of[A7add4] Dawn
Believing the st[A#6]rangest things, loving the [A7add4]alien
And you'll be[G]lieve you're loving the [A7add4]alien
Believing the s[A#6]trangest things, loving the[A7add4] alien
Believeing the s[A#6]trangest things loving the [A7add4]alien
*the way Gerry Leonard play the A7 and A#'s is to move the G chord shape up
E A D G B e
A7add4 = 6 5 0 0 6 6
A#6 = 7 6 0 0 7 7
those chords are named relative the the capo being on the 1st fret.
remember there are many many ways to play these chords, but ive studied
the DVD and am almost sure this is pretty correct. thanks. Cristoff-
