A Farewell To Kings chords by Rush

Verse 1:
      A         F
When they turn the pages of history
       G           E
When these days have passed long ago
 A             F
Will they read of us with sadness
      G        E
For the seeds that we let grow?
 F#     G    G    F#      A
We turned our gaze from the castles in the distance
F#     G    G  F#        A
Eyes cast down on the path of least resistance


Chorus:
  G               A
Cities full of hatred, fear and lies
 G                  A
Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes
 G                 A
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise
 G        D       A    B    G
Beating down the multitude and scoffing at the wise

Verse 2:
   A       F        G        E
The hypocrites are slandering the sacred halls of Truth
 A       F        G       E
Ancient nobles showering their bitterness on youth
 F#    G  G  F#         A
Can't we find the minds that made us strong?
 F#    G    F#      G        A
Can't we learn to feel what's right and what's wrong?
 A
What's wrong?

Chorus:
 G                A
Cities full of hatred, fear and lies
G                   A
Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes
G                 A
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise
G         D       A    B    G
Beating down the multitude and scoffing at the wise


Outro:
G                  A
Can't we raise our eyes and make a start?
G                 A  A B  G G
Can't we find the minds to lead us closer to the Heart?
