A Farewell To Kings Chords

[Verse 1]
            A                  F
When they turn the pages of history
             G                     E
When these days have passed long ago
  A                          F
Will they read of us with sadness
           G                E
For the seeds that we let grow?
  F#         G       G       F#     
We turned our gaze from the castles 

in the distance
F#          G       G    F#   
Eyes cast down on the path of 
  G          A
least resistance
 
 
[Chorus]
   G                              A
Cities full of hatred, fear and lies
  G                                   A
Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes
 G                                  A
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise
 G                D        
Beating down the multitude 
     A        B        G
and scoffing at the wise
 
 
[Verse 2]
     A             F          
The hypocrites are slandering 
     G               E
the sacred halls of Truth
 A              F        
Ancient nobles showering 
       G             E
their bitterness on youth
 F#       G    G    F#  
Can't we find the minds 
      G    G     A
that made us strong?
 F#       G       F#          
Can't we learn to feel what's 
  G                A
right and what's wrong?
 A
What's wrong?
 
[Chorus]
 G                               A
Cities full of hatred, fear and lies
G                                     A
Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes
G                                  A
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise
G                 D         
Beating down the multitude 
    A        B       G
and scoffing at the wise
 
 
[Outro]
G                                   A
Can't we raise our eyes and make a start?
G                       
Can't we find the minds 
           A   A  B    G  G
to lead us closer to the Heart?
