                                                 Under the

  D     Em     C     Am     D

  water line

     Em         C         Am         D

  No place to retire

     Em         C         Am         D

  (Chords continue unabated)

  To another time

  The eyes of the world now turn

  

  (Same chords , more strumming)

  And if we think about it

  And if we talk about it

  And if the skies go dark with rain

  Can you tell me does our freedom remain

  

  CHORUS:

  Em                  Am          C      D  

  Put down that weapon   or we'll all be gone

  Em                  Am          C          D  

  You can't hide nowhere with the torchlight on

  

         C          Em      C     Em

  And it happens to be an emergency

       C                                  D

  Some things aren't meant to be

       C            D        Am        C

  Some things don't come for free

                      above the

  

  

  

  

  ...waterline

  Point the finger yeah point the bone

  It's the harbour towns

  That the grey metal ships call home

  And if we think about it

  And if we talk about it

  And if the sea goes boiling black

  Can you tell me what you'll do about that

  

  CHORUS

  Put down that weapon or we'll all be gone

  I must know something to know it's so wrong

  And if happens to be an emergency

  Some things aren't meant to be

  Some things don't come for free
