{ Play part II again once for each of the following verses: }

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay

Perhaps this final act was meant to clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we arePart III:

{ Lyrics for this part: }

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star   like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are   how fragile we are

Note:   Play parts II, III, V and VI using mostly Am (002210) and D7
      (000212) finger patterns to guide your left hand.
        It is often easier to press some extra strings than pressing only
      the ones you actually pick.

If you happen to find any mistakes, please share your corrections with all
of us! It sounds ok like this, though.

Enjoy!
