Shadow Of The Mushroom Cloud chords by Overnights

• Difficulty: Intermediate

Key: Em

Verse 1:
Em
In the dawn's early light
Em
We saw a blinding flame
Am                 B7
A flash that stole our sight in the sky king
Em
The thunderous roar shattered peace of hope
Cmaj7         B7
As the bombs began to fall, their deadly story told

Chorus:
  Em           B7
Oh! sorrow filled land our hearts in despair
   Am       D7/F# G
Where dreams turn to ashes lost in the air
    Em
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
  B7           Am
We stand and we weep for a world
    B7              Em
Once so beautiful now lost and endlessly

Verse 2:
Em
Fields of green now gray
Em
Silent cries we hear
Am            B7
Echoes of a yesterday now drowned in fear
Em
Children's laughter still beneath the ashen rain
Cmaj7               B7
Nations built on hope now crumble in the pain

Chorus:
  Em           B7
Oh! sorrow filled land our hearts in despair
   Am       D7/F# G
Where dreams turn to ashes lost in the air
    Em
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
  B7           Am
We stand and we weep for a world
    B7              Em
Once so beautiful now lost and endlessly

Bridge:
    C    G      B7   Em
Once we stood so proud united hand in hand
    C     G      B7   Em
Now we search the ruins of our refuge land
Em        B7  Em      B7
Brothers sisters gone taken by the fire
Am        B7
Left us with the mournful song of the choir

Chorus:
  Em           B7
Oh! sorrow filled land our hearts in despair
   Am       D7/F# G
Where dreams turn to ashes lost in the air
    Em
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
  B7           Am
We stand and we weep for a world
    B7              Em
Once so beautiful now lost and endlessly

    Em        B7       Em
May we never forget the cost of our own head
     Cmaj7    B7            Em
Let this land flow remind as we strive to understand
    B7
In our tears and our prayers
       Em   Cmaj7
May we find a way to build a brighter
B7          Em
dawn from the darkest days.
