U2 – Van Diemen's Land
Capo 4
Intro
G5 D A D G5-D
Verse
Hold me now, oh hold me now
D G5 D G5 D
Till this hour has gone around
Bm G5 A Asus4 A
And I'm gone on the rising tide
F#m Bm G5
For to face Van Diemen's land
D A D G5 D
It's a bitter pill I swallow here
D G5 D G5 D
To be rent from one so dear
Bm G5 A Asus4 A
We fought for justice and not for gain
F#m Bm G5
But the magistrate sent me away
D A D G5 D
Now kings will rule and the poor will toil
D G5 D G5 D
And tear their hands as they tear the soil
Bm G5 A
But a day will come in the dawning age
F#m Bm G5
When an honest man sees an honest wage
D A D G5 D
Hold me now, hold me now
D G5 D G5 D
Till this hour has gone around
Bm G5 A
And I'm gone on the rising tide
F#m Bm G5
For to face Van Diemen's land
D A D G5 D
Still the gunman rules and widows pay
A scarlet coat now a black beret
They thought that blood and sacrifice
Could out of death bring forth a life
