He (Gm7)built a (F)wall
of (Bb)steel and (F)flame, and (Bb)men with (C7)guns
to (C7sus)keep it (F)tame.
Then, stand ing (C7sus)back, he made it (C7sus)plain that the night (F7)mare would (Bb)nev er ev er (Dm)rise (C)a (F)gain.
But the fear (F7)and the (Bb)fi re and the (Bbsus2)guns (C7sus)re (F)main.

“My (Am7)friends,” he (G)said,
