Tears Of Rage
A fis D h
We carried you in our arms on Independence Day
G D A
And now you'd throw us all aside and put us all away
A fis D h
Oh, what dear daughter 'neath the sun could treat a father so?
G D A
To wait upon him hand and foot and always tell him „No”
Cis7 fis
Tears of rage, tears of grief
D A
Why must I always be the thief?

Come to me now, you know we're so low
D A7 D7+A
And life is brief
We pointed you the way to go and scratched your name in sand
Though you just thought it was nothing more than a place for you to stand
Now, I want you to know that while we watched, you discover there was no one true.
Most ev'rybody really thought it was a childish thing to do.
It was all very painless when you went out to receive
All that false instruction which we never could believe.
And now the heart is filled with gold as if it was a purse.
But, oh, what kind of love is this which goes from bad to worse?
