G    C So, so ya think you can D tell,
Heaven from  Am hell,
Blue skies from G pain,
Can you tell a green D field
From a cold steel C rail,
A smile from a Am veil?
Do ya think ya can G tell?
G     Did they get you to C trade,
Your hero's for D ghosts,
Hot ashes for Am trees
Hot air for a cG ool breeze,
Cold comfort for D change,
Did you exchC ange,
A walk on part in the Am war,
for a lead role in a G cage?
G    C How I wish, how I wish you were D here,
Were just Am two lost soles simming in a fish bowl,
G   Year after year, D 
Running over the same old ground,
But have we C found
The same old Am fears,
Wish you were G here
