The Walking Wounded.
Rosanne Cash.
Album: Johnny Cash, The Music, Forever Words.
Capo 4.
(The Fmaj7 might just be
Am try it both ways.)
Intro: Am F G Am
C Am
We're in the church house kneeling down,
F Fmaj7
We're in the subways underground,
G
We're in the bars and on the street,
Am7 Am
We drive a truck we walk a beat,
Am7 Am
We're in the mills and factories,
F
We make the steel we cut the trees,
G
A thousand-yard stare, eyes of glass,
Dm7 C Am C G Am7 Em G
But we will see you when you pass.
Am7 Am
We lost our homes, we lost our dreams,
F Fmaj7
All our goals have turned into schemes,
G
We hurt each other and ourselves,
Am7 Am
So after long, traumatic spells.
G Am Am7 F
We are the walking, we are the walking,
G Am Am7
We are the walking wounded.
Am7 Am
We cried out from the deepest pit,
F Fmaj7
But rise back up each time we're hit,
G
We fell from power and from grace,
Am7
But resurrection's in our face,
Am
We're just like little girls and boys,
F C
We play with grown up toys,
Dm7
We never thought of sink or swim,
Am7 Am
My brother hurts me, so I hurt him.
G Am7 G Fmaj7
We are the walking, we are the walking,
G Am G
We are the walking wounded.
Break: Am Am7 Am Dm7 F Dm7 C Dm7 Am
Am7 Am
Like a circle, round and round,
F Am
We go up, so we come down,
G
We don't explain or apologize,
Am7 Am
We pull the veil across our eyes,
Am7 Am
We see through your fake refrain,
C Fmaj7
But we won't let you see our pain,
G Dm7
You may not know us but you will see,
Am7 Am
There are more than you'd believe.
G Am7 G Fmaj7
We are the walking, we are the walking,
G Am G Am
We are the walking, we are the walking,
G Am7 Fmaj7
We are the walking, we are the walking,
G Am G
We are the walking wounded.
Fade: Am C/D F G Am Am7 Am
