Rush - Beneath, Between & Behind: chords

A
Ten score years ago,
defeat the kingly foe
                            E
A wondrous dream came into being
A
Tame the trackless waste,
no virgin land left chaste
                             E
All shining eyes, but never seeing

Chorus:
 D        G  D  G  D
Beneath the noble bird
 D        G   D  G    D
Between the proudest words
D        G  D   G    D       C
Behind the beauty, cracks appear
Once, with heads held high
They sang out to the sky
Why do their shadows bow in fear?

Watch the cities rise
Another ship arrives
Earth's melting pot and ever growing
Fantastic dreams come true
Inventing something new
The greatest minds, and never knowing

Chorus:
Beneath the noble bird
Between the proudest words
Behind the beauty, cracks appear
Once with heads held high
They sang out to the sky
Why do their shadows bow in fear?
Whoa!

The guns replace the plow,
facades are tarnished now
The principles have been betrayed
The dreams's gone stale,
but still, let hope prevail
History's debt won't be repaid

Chorus:
Beneath the noble bird
Between the proudest words
Behind the beauty, cracks appear
Once with heads held high
They sang out to the sky
Why do their shadows bow in fear?
