Iron Maiden - Afraid To Shoot Strangers

[Intro]

E G C# B
E G C# B G#

[Verse]

E C#
Lying awake at night, I wipe the sweat from my brow
D B
But it’s not the fear, ’cause I’d rather go now
E C#
Trying to visualize the horrors that will lay ahead
D B
The desert sand mound a burial ground
C C#
When it comes to the time
A# C
Are we partners in crime?
C C#
When it comes to the time
A# C
We’ll be ready to die

[Verse 2]

E C#
God let us go now and finish what’s to be done
D B
Thy Kingdom come, thy shall be done on earth
E C#
Trying to justify to ourselves the reasons to go
D B
Should we live and let live? Forget or forgive?
C C# A# C
But how can we let them go on this way?
C C# A# C
The reign of terror corruption must end
C C# A# C
And we know deep down there’s no other way
C C# A# C
No trust, no reasoning, no more to say
