Am              F      G  
With a bold and sudden calling
 Am          F        G 
Western Revolutions starting
 Am               F       G 
Let our hearts be open to it
 Am      F   G 
Pacifist nation

 Am          F     G 
Riding on a penny farthing
 Am              F        G 
It's the flag of our sun rising
 Am            F      G 
Warding evil spirits like an
 Am             F         G 
I       C       B         M       

[Pre-Chorus]
 F                    C 
On the train tracks, running along
the line
 F           G 
Let us move forward,
 Am 
don't look behind
 F                           
Boys and girls becoming like samurai
 D7                               E 
Just like those from our previous life

[Chorus]
 Am                  F   
Thousands of cherry blossoms,
  G               C 
Dwindling in the light
 Am                       F 
Though I can't hear your voice,
 G                 C 
keep what I say in mind
 Am                F    
This bouquet that surrounds
 G               C 
is iron poison, see 
 F              Em       F 
Looking down at us from that big
 G     Am 
guillotine

 Am                  F 
Darkness has just engulfed
 G               C 
the universe we know
 Am                 F 
The lament that you sing
 G                   C 
can't reach ears anymore
 Am               F 
We are still far away
 G                          C 
from reaching clear, blue skies
 F              Em 
Go ahead, keep shooting
 F        G       Am 
with that ray gun, fight!

[Verse 2]
 Am              F 
Veterans who've trained through
  G 
struggles
 Am     F            G 
Are now officers in battle
 Am                     
Here, and there, we see the harlots
 F     G 
in procession

 Am                  F       G 
This one, that one, doesn't matter
 Am           F      G 
Every single person gathers
 Am              F       G 
March on to our saintly deaths, now
 Am          F    G 
One, two, three, four

[Pre-Chorus]
 F                   C    
Passing through the gates on the
 
mountain peaks
 F             G       Am 
Escaping this world, kill all the

evil fiends
 F                   C     
Surely, this will end in a denouement
 D7                              E 
Among the crowds giving their applause

[Chorus]
 Am                  F 
Thousands of cherry blossoms,
 G               C 
Dwindling in the light
 Am                      F 
Though I can't hear your voice,
 G                 C  
keep what I say in mind
 Am               F  
This bouquet that surrounds
 G              C 
is iron poison, see
 F             Em       F 
Looking down at us from that big
 G    Am 
guillotine

 Am              F 
Darkness has just engulfed
 G               C 
the universe we know 
 Am                 F 
The lament that you sing
 G              C 
can't reach ears anymore
 Am             F 
We are still far away
 G                     C 
from reaching peaks of hope
 F              Em 
Go ahead, keep shooting,
 F        G      Am 
use that flashing bolt!

[Pre-Chorus]
 F                   C 
On the train tracks, running along

the line
 F          G 
Let us move forward,
 Am 
don't look behind 
 F                           C 
Boys and girls becoming like samurai
 D7                               E 
Just like those from our previous life

[Chorus]
 Am                  F 
Thousands of cherry blossoms,

Dwindling in the light
  Am                     F 
Though I can't hear your voice,
 G                 C 
keep what I say in mind 
 Am               F 
That bouquet that surrounds
 G              
is iron poison, see
 F             Em       F 
Leaping down to us from that big
 G    Am 
guillotine

[KEY CHANGE TO D]
 Bm                   G 
Thousands of cherry blossoms,
  A               D 
Dwindling in the light
 Bm                    G 
Once your song can be heard,
 A                     D 
we'll dance with all our might
 Bm                 G 
This bouquet that surrounds
 A              
is iron poison, see
 G              F#m 
Go ahead, keep shooting,
 G        A        Bm  
with that ray gun, lead!
