1. These mist covered mountains are home now for me,
             h          e   h                      C     - D
    but my home is the low lands, and always will be.

    Someday you'll return  to, your valley and your farms,
                          e           C          D
    and you'll no longer burn to be brothers in arms.

2. Through these fields of destruction, baptisms of fire,
          h              e    h                          C      - D
    I've witnessed your suffering, as the battles raged higher.

    And though they did hurt me so bad,  in the fear and alarm,

    There's so many different worlds,        so many different suns.

    And we have just one world,        but we live in different ones.

    Let me bid your farewell,      every man has to die.

    But its written in the starlight, and every line on your palm,
                         e           C          D 
    we're fools to make war on our brothers in arms.
