-----  but then *G1 joins in} 
 
Fmaj7  2 bars  {NOTE: alternate on the Fmaj7 by lifting  
               your 1st + 2nd fingers off and hammering  
               them back on, so it looks like this (x33000) 
               Also *G1 does this at points in the song.} 
 
Verse  {NOTE: Guitar 2 strums the same chords 
-----  lightly in the background (clean sound again)} 
*G1 
Am                C                      Fmaj7  
Born sinking like stones, all that we've fought for. 
Am                  C                    Fmaj7 
Homes, places we've grown, all of us are done for.
