The Orphans of 69
Bm G A A7
(Verse 1)
D
One small step on a dusty shore
A
The moon’s our suburb, nothing more.
Bm
We watched it live on a flickering screen
G
While The Beatles left unseen.
(Verse 2)
D
Saigon’s guns spat hell at dawn
A
Woodstock’s dream already torn
Bm
Hendrix’s guitar cried in a pouring rain
G A7
Three days of love, then pain again.
(Chorus)
D A
Orphans of ’69
Bm F#m
The moon so close, love so far
G D
Four voices gone, no future in a
F# Bm
silent sky.
(Verse 3)
D
The Sinai’s steel cut through the sand,
A
Peace was a word we couldn’t stand.
Bm
We burned our dreams in summer’s flame,
G
Now only echoes call our name.
(Verse 4)
D
We woke up lost, the decade’s end,
A
No guiding hands, no voice to lend.
Bm
Our walls stood bare, their songs erased,
G A7
The summers dim, the nights misplaced.
(Chorus)
D A
Orphans of ’69,
Bm F#m
The moon so close, love so far.
G D
Four voices gone, no future in a
F# Bm
Silent sky.
