Beat the (D)drum
Like a (Em)heartbeat
(C)Lonely and (D)strong
Beat the (G)drum

I still (G)see the (D)blood on the (Em)knees(G)
The camans (C)swing without (G)war(D)ning(G)
The lads in white
At the (D)speed of (Em)light
It's (C)good to be (Am)young and (C)da(D)ring

A(G)cross the bay I can (D)still hear the (Em)strains(G)
