Verse 1:
Am
In our youthful condemnation the truth speaks for itself
Dm Am
That in an hour of darkness, Someone cried for help
So he told a simple story of innocents and lies,
Dm Am
How the truth became so twisted, in a single judges eyes.
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/u/ub40/rainbow_nation_crd.html )
Chorus:
Dm Em Dm
Our brave new rainbow nation, was floating on the tide
Em Dm
in a sea of expectation, and a hard won sense of pride
Em Dm
but the wave of solidarity, that swept across our land
Em
was broken on the rocks left lifeless on the sand
Verse 2:
It all seemed very simple, let the guilty take the blame, we can sing our song of
and put them all to shame. Shine a light into the darkness, let them hear his name, but the
we tried to change things, the more they stayed the same.
Chorus
Verse 3:
And no one else but Tyler knows exactly what this means, He's a man thats dissapearing,
ceasing to exist, and the only contribution that he has left to give, is the simple
story of a life he's never lived
Chorus
(This is my first tab! how is it?)
(FREE Gary Tyler!!!)
