                                               Under the

D     Em     C     Am     D

water line

   Em         C         Am         D

No place to retire

   Em         C         Am         D

(Chords continue unabated)

To another time

The eyes of the world now turn



(Same chords , more strumming)

And if we think about it

And if we talk about it

And if the skies go dark with rain

Can you tell me does our freedom remain



CHORUS:

Em                  Am          C      D  

Put down that weapon   or we'll all be gone

Em                  Am          C          D  

You can't hide nowhere with the torchlight on



       C          Em      C     Em

And it happens to be an emergency

     C                                  D

Some things aren't meant to be

     C            D        Am        C

Some things don't come for free

                    ABOVE THE



...waterline

Point the finger yeah point the bone

It's the harbour towns

That the grey metal ships call home

And if we think about it

And if we talk about it

And if the sea goes boiling black

Can you tell me what you'll do about that



CHORUS

Put down that weapon or we'll all be gone

I must know something to know it's so wrong



And if happens to be an emergency

Some things aren't meant to be

Some things don't come for free

And it happens to be an emergency

     C                                  D
