[Intro]
 
C F x4
 
[Verse 1]
C AmI just wanted to tell you I love you. I just wanted to tell you again
F GI saw you today on your mountain. I just want you to know that I'm there
C AmGot a whole other world standing next to me. Little angels directing my hands
F GThey won't let me choose from the colors I use. They want violence and black like Cezanne
F G C FThe rage inside is hard to hide, I blame it on this trial
C F C FWhen I painted Guernica
 
 
[Verse 2]
C AmThese are dangerous times for thinkin'. I'm a stranger in a strange land
F GIf you think for yourself, you're a traitor, it's like walking on quicksand
C AmSo I work in the shadows of uncertainty, waiting for that knock at the door
F GWhen I coal miner says, "Is this your idea?". I say, "No, I thought it was yours"
F G C FJust a drum off track, I went all the way back, the man on top reminded ya
C F C FWhen I painted Guernica. When I painted Guernica
C F C FWhen I painted Guernica. Alright
 
 
[Instrumental]
C Am F G x2
 
 
[Bridge]
Am G CFar away, far away from distorted times
Am G CThere's green and white in the meadows
Am G CFly away, fly away from your worst nightmare
Am G CAs you disappear in the shadows
Am G CFly away, fly away from your broken bones
Am G CFly away, fly away from evil
Am G CThese big black screens are snatchin' dreams
Am GFly away, fly away to freedom
 
 
[Verse 3]
C AmThis picture is a chamber of horrors. This picture's a crucifixion
F GIt'll hang on the walls of eternity halls, it will never be forgotten
C AmWhen my hands veil the truth behind images, this picture is trying to explain
F GIf this anger smashes into your consciousness, then this picture will not be in vain
F G FAnd the camera smells of rusted shells, I created a monster
C F C FWhen I painted Guernica. When I painted Guernica
C F C F When I painted Guernica. Alright
 
 
[Outro]
C F x4 C
