Can you tell a green field C Am G From a cold steel rail, A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? C D/F# Am/E Did they get you to trade, Your heroes for ghosts, Hot ashes for trees, G D/F# C Hot air for a cool breeze, Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange Am G A walk on part in the war, For a lead role in a cage?
