This is the chords of An Ode To L Manburg by beetlebug on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.
[Verse 1]
D Em
It all started on a day
G
like any other
D E
All the salmon had swum
G
to the sea
D G
When my lover she darted,
away down the stream
D
With a heart that she\'d
G D
taken from me
[Instrumental]
Em G D G
[Continuing Verse 1]
G C
And my chest though it ached,
G
there was hope
D Em G
A little beacon of light
D Em
Though my sunniest days were
G D
now stolen away
A D
I still had our son by my side
G
And as he looked up at me,
A Am
with those wondering eyes
Em G
I just knew that I must
protect him with my life
D Em
And make a land that is good
G
And a land that is free
Em A D
For the better of you and of me
[Chorus]
G
We\'ll build these walls,
D
with our own fair hands
G
Through the wind and the
D
rain and the snow
Em
And I swear on my life,
G
that I\'ll stay by your side
Em G
Through whatever the world
D
has to throw
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Em G
So I summoned my men to my side
D C G
And we sung a familiar tune
D Em
As a final goodbye, with our
G
fists to the sky
D G D
To our past as we started anew
[Chorus]
G
We built these walls, with
D
our own fair hands
Through the wind and the
rain and the snow
Em
And we swore that we\'d keep
G
an unwavering faith
To the land that we carved
D
for a home
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
D G
Oh, the dawn of the day set
D
our country aflame
A Bm
As the sun rose bloody and true
A D
Arrows burned through the skies,
G
as we swallowed our pride
A
And we ran with our backs
D B
to the moon
To our demise...
D
From a friend full of lies...
D Em
Oh, the break of the day
G
shed it\'s light
D E
On our hearts left battered
Gm
and bruised
D Gm
All the hopes that we\'d laid,
G
on the home that we made
D G
Torn to pieces and left in
D
the blue...
C G
But my friend with an angry cry
D G
Held the weight of our world
at his side
D G
Took a trembling stand, with an
D G
arrow in hand
D
As he muttered a final goodbye...
