AmCEm Last night I was walking through the harbour,
DmEmAm Where the fishing boats were lying on the shore,
CAmG The news had travelled fast and everyone went to be,
CEmF Where the mayor was making a speech,
C And the crowd started cheering,
FGAm When he talked about the glory of it all,
DmGAm And the boys coming home from the war,
AmCEm Last night, they were dancing in the streets,
DmEmAm And making music in the alleyways and bars,
CAmG From a house down by the old town came the sound of guitars,
CEmF Margarita was waiting inside,
CFG With her long black hair hanging down beneath the red light,
AmDmGAm And she smiled, for the boys coming home from the war,
DmGAmF Am F The boys coming home from the war,
CF And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine,
CF We were kings in command, we had God on our side,
CFGAm F And we said "nothing will make us change in any way,
CF Since yesterday, we're just the same,
CF Since yesterday, nothing has changed,
CF Since yesterday, we're all the same,"
CG But I can feel there's a new kind of hunger inside,
FGAmF To be satisfied, I saw it there last night,
AmCEm Last night I was walking through the shadows,
DmEmAm Far away from all the music and the girls,
CAmG When I saw a soldier waiting with a woman in black,
CEmF And they stood without any word,
CFGAm Just staring at a photograph of someone, and she began to cry,
DmGAm For a boy left behind in the war,
DmGAmF Am F Some boy left behind in the war,
CF And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine,
CF We were kings in command, we had God on our side,
CFGAm F And we said "nothing will make us change in any way,
CF Since yesterday, we're just the same,
CF Since yesterday, nothing has changed,
CF Since yesterday, we're all the same,"
CG But I can feel there's this new kind of hunger inside,
FGAmF Am F To be satisfied, I saw it there last night,
