Lyrics

As a child you would wait

and watch from far a way, but you al ways knew that you’d be the one to work while they all (B)played.

In youth

you’d lay

a wake at night and scheme

of all the things that you would change, but it was just a dream.

Here we are; don’t turn a way

(B)now.

(Em)We are the (G)war ri ors that (C)built this (B7)town.

(Em)Here we are; don’t turn a way

(B)now.

(Em)We are the (G)war ri ors that (C)built this (B7)town

from (Em)dust.

We’ll (Esus2)come when (C)you have to (Am)rise a (G6)bove the rest and prove your (Am7)self.

Your (Em)spir it nev er (B)dies.

Fare (Em)well; I’ve (D)gone to take my throne a bove.

But don’t (Cmaj7)weep for me, ’cause this will be the (Am7)la bor of my (CN.C.)love.

(Em)Here we are; don’t turn a way

(B)now.

(Em)We are the (G)war ri ors that (C)built this (B7)town.

(Em)Here we are; don’t turn a way

(B)now.

(Cmaj7)We are the (G)war ri ors that (Am)built this (B)town

from

(E5)Here we are; don’t turn a way

(B)now.

(Em)We are the (G)war ri ors that (C)built this (B7)town.

(Em)Here we are; don’t turn a way

(B)now.

(Cmaj7)We are the (G)war ri ors that (Am)built this (B)town

from (C)dust.
