 As I returned across the fields I'd known

 Of walking on the mines I'd laid

    Dm
          C
           Am
            C
 And if I built this fortress around your heart

    Dm
       C
      Am
              C
 Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire

    Dm
       C
       Am
             C
 Then let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm

    Dm
     c     Am         c
 And let me set the battlements on fire

 Away so long for years and years

 While the armies all are sleeping
 Beneath the tattered flag we made
 I had to stop in my tracks for fear
 Of walking on the mines I'd laid

 This prison has now become your home
 A sentence you seem prepared to pay

 It took a day to build the city
 We walked through it's streets this afternoon

 As I returned across the lands I'd known
 I recognized the fields where I'd once played
 I had to stop in my tracks fear
 Of walking on the mines I'd laid

 Whew! That was harder to explain than I thought. Your comments or
 corrections would be greatly appreciated.

 P.S. Also I'd like to get my hands on any tablature for Sting,
        Van Halen, and the Rolling Stones,

                                            Thanks.
