Em G Am C
Em G Am C

[Verse 1]
Em
With a shrug of her shoulders
G
The mountain came down
       Am
Tore a path all the way to the water
    C
And through my sleeping town
Em
The trails I'd wandered
G
All erased in the birth
       Am
Of the million year old rock
         C
From the naked gasping earth

[Chorus]
C              D                  Em D
Oh my children where you gonna go
C                   D                    Em   D
Now you’ve lost the land you called your home
         C                 D                Em D/F# G
When the Earth is burning, fever on her brow
       C               D                     Em
Crying oh my children, who will save you now

[Verse 2]
Em
Now the winters hit harder
G
The summers are fire
        Am
And the rains are thе tears of a mother
       C
For her rеbellious reckless child
Em
But still the spring brings clover
G
Amid the blackened oaks
Am
Sprays of fledgling branches
        C
And the wildflowers below


[Chorus]
C              D                  Em D
Oh my children where you gonna go
C                   D                    Em   D
Now you've lost the land you called your home
         C                 D                 Em D/F# G
When the Earth is burning, fever on her brow
       C               D                     Am7
Crying oh my children, who will save you now

[Bridge]
G            C             D        Am7
Farewell the family of the Holocene
G            C                D             Am7
Farewell the fragile air, the sea, the land
G            C                   D                   Am7
Five times before she's seen the rise and fall again
G                  C                        B
But never by their own hand, never by their own

N.C.
Oh my children

[Solo]
Em G Am C
Em G Am C

[Verse 3]
Em
Chaos was my lover
G
But fate is my bride
        Am
We will meet at the edge of the ocean
        C
And the ever rising tide

[Chorus]
C              D                  Em D
Oh my children where you gonna go
C                   D                    Em   D
Now you’ve lost the land you called your home
C                          D                 Em D/F# G
When the Earth is burning, fever on her brow
       C               D                     Em D
Crying oh my children, who will save you now
C                          D                 Em D/F# G
When the Earth is burning, fever on her brow
       C               D                     Em
Crying oh my children, who will save you now
