BmFew of the sins of the father
Are vDisited upon the son
A/EHearts have been hard
Hands have been clenched into Efists too long
Our Bmsons need never be soldiers
Our Ddaughters will never need guns
A/EThese are the years between
These are the years that were Ehard fought an won
BmContracts torn at the edges
Old sDignatures stained with tears
SeaA/Esons of war and grace
The should not be forEgotten years
BmStill it aches like tetanus
It Dreeks of politics
A/EHow many dreams remain
This is a feeling too Estrong to contain
Chorus:
The harDdest years the darkest years the Groaring years the Afallen years
DThese should not be forAgotten years
The harDdest years the wildest years the Gdesperate and divAided years
BmWe will reDmember
These should not be forAgotten years
BmOur shore line was never invaded
OurD country was never in flames
A/EThis is the calm we breathe
This is the feeling too strongE to contain
BmStill it aches like tetanus
It Dreeks of politics
A/ESignatures stained with tears
Who can remember? We've Egot to remember
Chorus:
The hardest years, the darkest years...
Forsaking aching breaking years.
The Time and tested heartbreak years.
These should not be forgotten years.
The blinded years, the binded years.
The desperate and divided years.
These should not be forgotten years
Remember
