[Verse 1]
N.C.      Am                   D
There are rifles buried in the countryside
        Bm C   G      D    Em
For the rising of the moon
         Am                G      D
May they lie there long forgotten
          F           G      C
Till they rust away into the ground


[Verse 2]
N.C.     Am               D
Who will end this ancient hatred
         Bm  C   G     D    Em
Will the killing to an end?
         Am             G       D
Who will swallow long injustice
         F           G      C
Take the devil for a countryman?


[Chorus]
         Em                 Bm        Bb
Who will say, "This far, no further"
           C    Am
If I die today?

[Verse 3]
N.C.    Am               D
Send no weapons, no more money
        Bm    C    G         D    Em
Send no vengeance across the seas
         Am             G        D
Just the blessing of forgiveness
       F          G       C
For my new countryman and me


[Verse 4]
        Am                 D
Missing brothers, martyred fellows
       Bm   E          Am     D
Silent children in the ground
             Em                        D
Could we but hear them, could they not tell us
         F         G     C
"Time to lay god's rifle down"


[Chorus]
         Em                 Bm
Who will say, "This far, no further"
   Bb               C    Am
Oh lord, if I die today?

Silent children in the ground
             Em                        D
Could we but hear them, could they not tell us

"Time to lay god's rifle down"

Who will say, "This far, no further"
