New Model Army

Across the town
On the other hill
Your lights glow
From a different world
You always found
A place to hide
Nails and cross to lay beside
C G A A#/A A (A#/A)?
With all the ghosts that we denied |0|0|3|3|3|0|
Now in rippled arcs
Across the sky
Great white birds of winter fly
When the wheel turns
People change
Scattered ashes to the wind
Scattered ashes to the wind
There's no pain
There's no pain
e
There's no pain
Drying river in the blazing sun
(repeat)
There's no pain, there's no pain
There's no pain
Your parched face
Your calloused hands
Behind us lie the arrid lands
To say too much
It was not our way
And in the end there wasn't much to say
The scars are healed now anyway
(Chorus)
D e
There's no pain, there's no pain, there's no pain
D e Bm
No pain, no pain
(Instrumental part): (I'm not sure about the rhythm in here. Just try it)

And Abraham rose and took his only son
Knife and tinder in his hand and set out
e
Across the desert and up into the scrubland hills.
He bound the boy Isaac to the stone
Raised the blade and waited for the miracle
But the wind blows silent across the hills
Silent, across the dead and empty hills
e F/A
Dead, like the god that never came
Like your face, the day that you turned away.
(Chorus)
D e
There's no pain, there's no pain, there's no pain
D e
No pain, no pain
D e
No pain, no pain
Somehow the original isn't in A-major but who cares?
So, enjoy it.
