Instead of the 0 you can play a powerchord (022) but so it's easier.


Em           D            Em
We break our enemies with fear and
      C            D           Em
We've seen how the tears come around
C              D            Em
We build our confidence on wasteland
      C        D               Em
We've seen how the walls come down

[play the intro a few times]

G                 F#
A man dies like a butterfly
Em                  D                      C
Life burns from the touch of the Reaper
D               Em
All things must pass

[play the intro a few times]
G               F#
One love is crooked lie
Em                   D                   C
The world lies in the hands of evil
   D             Em
We pray it would last


[play the intro a few times]
Em         D                Em
We have no sympathy for the lost souls
     C           D        Em
We've chosen the path of disgrace
    C        D           Em
We give this life to our children
    C             D        Em
And teach them to hate this place


On the instrumental version the first cello plays something like this :
