[Verso 1]

         Em 
Take the children 
                     C 
March them off to war 
     Em 
Only numbered 
                             C 
To count down the final score 
       Em 
Lay in waiting 
                  C 
For the end to come 
          Em 
And their only chance 
                      C B 
Is loaded in their gun

                      Em                           Db B 
They're riding on the wings (the wings), the wings of destiny 
              Em                      Db     Am 
Riding on the wings (the wings), from so far below 
              Em                           Db B 
Riding on the wings (the wings), the wings of destiny 
             Em                       Db          Am   B 
Riding on the wings (the wings), that carry their souls 



[Verso 2]


Em 
In battle daybreak 
             C 
The field is grey and bare 
Em 
They feel the presence 
                C           B 
Of death that's in the air

To ride the wings again
