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.
