D Dsus  A

    G                 A
 We played a battle raged 
           D       Dsus  A
 Me and my brother
              G                   A
 Dragged the American flag in the mud
 A
 'Cause that was our druthers
           G               A
 They were fine and simple days 
         D    Dsus    A
 Like no other
D  Dsus   A 

    G                 A
 Le Cigar Volant it's true 
           D     Dsus    A
 Once was above us
    G               A
 We wondered was he hate
 A
 Or someone that loved us
        G                   A           
 In the years since we have thought 
       D     Dsus    A
 Often of this
D  Dsus  D  A 

          Bm             A
 Got this feeling in our bones
         Bm           A
 For the icon we were shown
            Bm              A
 It took us twenty years to learn
            G           E
 The sacred imagery had burned
            A      G
 We can't escape
                    D     Dsus    A
 It was a childhood faith

D  Dsus    A

Bm  A  Bm  A
Bm  A  G   E  A  G
D  Dsus    A
D  Dsus    A 

       Bm          A
 Oh so silently he shined
     Bm            A
 And souls say redefined
        Bm              A
 And we wandered on the hill
        G            E
 And we wonder if he will
        A        G
 Come back we wait
              A      G
 I will postulate
                     D  Dsus   A
 It was a childhood faith
                     D  Dsus   A
 It was a childhood faith
                     D  Dsus   A
 It was a childhood faith
                     D  Dsus   A
 It was a childhood faith

D  Dsus   A  (repeat til end)

G
