Capo 5th fret (for sounding key, e.g. piano, transpose -5)
[Intro]
C F C F
C G C C
[Verse 1]
C F
When the leaves were softly turning
C F
And the constant engines rolled
C F G C C
And the ancient air was rich with summer turning
C F
While the war was far off raging
C F
We were safe behind these trees
C F G C C
And nothing changed but something distant burning
[Verse 2]
C F
There was talk and there were rumours
C F
Those who never came back home
C F G C C
Troops on the streets and cries behind the curtains
C F
Those unsafe by their religion
C F
Or the colour of their skin
C F G C C
Yes we heard the news but how could we be certain?
[Chorus]
F C
No we never asked the questions
F G
We were busy with our day
G F C G C
We looked awa- y, we looked away
[Instrumental]
F C F
C G C C
[Verse 3]
C F
His eyes were bright with promise
C F
And they shone with his great gift
C F G C C
And a nation swore allegiance to his vision
C F
And his word rang like church bells
C F
Calling all lost souls to join
C F G C C
And praise and to rejoice in his great mission
[Chorus]
F C
While the rivers turned to crimson
F G
We were busy with our day
G F C G C
We looked awa- y, we looked away
[Instrumental]
F C F
C G C C
[Verse 4]
C F
In the north the ice is melting
C F
And the oceans fade to grey
C F G C C
And the whales cry for the dying of their nation
C F
And the earth is stripped and wasted
C F
Greed and progress have their way
C F G C C
While it sickens more with each new generation
[Chorus]
F C
Roll the blinds and draw the curtains
F G
We are busy with our day
G F C G C
We looked awa- y, we looked away
F C
Come the hour of your judgement
F G
Would you take the stand and say
G F C G Am7
I looked awa- y, I looked away?
G F C G C
We looked awa- y, we looked away
[Outro]
