There Stood the Fence

intro: Em G (x2)
Em G
There stood the fence that penned me in when I was younger
Em G
This was the house where we all stayed
Em G
There was a tree we used to hang out under
Em G
This was the place where I played
A Em7

But now that's gone so I have to wonder
A Em7
Is it worth the price we pay?
A Em7
A long range test has put us under
A -stop- Em G Em G
And made us go away, go away...

Em G
This was the town where all my friends and I had grown up
Em G
The only place I've ever known
Em G
A long gray street with some houses built on it
Em G
Less than perfect but it was home
A Em7
Now it's gone and I curse it in my darkness
A Em7
This is the cross I have to bear
A Em7
We pay the price of our own injustice
A -stop-
We made us go nowhere
Em G Em
Go nowhere, nowhere

solo
repeat intro
Em G
This was our earth our garden of eden
Em G
Took what we could and left her there bleeding
Em G
And what became of the hopes and the dreams
Em G
Did they die with us 'cause that's how it seems
A Em7
Here comes the rain can't you taste the acid?
A Em7
Or has it left you numb?
A Em7
This is the moral to the story I offer
A -stop-
Can you hear me son...
Em G
Or have you gone away
Em G
Away
Em G fades
Away
