Artist: Billy Elliot
[INTRO]
[F]

[VERSE 1]
[A#]Once we built visions on the ground we hewed
[F]We dreamt of justice and of [A#]men renewed
[D]All people equal, [G]in all things
[C]We once were heroes,
[F]Once were kings
But all great [A#]things must come to pass
We know the first will [F]soon be l[A#]ast
[D]And in the ground we maybe [Gm]lain
But a s[C]eed is sown to [F]rise again

[CHORUS]
So [D#]we walk proudly
And [A#]we walk strong
[Cm]All together
We will [Gm]go as one
The g[D#]round is empty
And cold [A#]as [Gm]hell
But we a[C]ll go [D]together when we [G]go

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[C] [Am] [G] [F] [G]

[VERSE 2]
[C]We saw a land where wealth was shared
[G]Each pain relieved, each [C]hunger fed
[E]Each man revered, each [Am]tyrant killed
[D]Each soul redeemed, each l[G]ife fulfilled

From [C]each mats means to each his need
[G]We saw a time man [C]would be freed
[G#m]We fought for all the [Am]things we saw
The battle's [D]lost but [G]not the war

[CHORUS]
So [F]we walk proudly
And [C]we walk strong
[Dm]All together
We will [Am]go as one
The [F]ground is empty
And [C]cold as [Am]hell
But we [Dm]all go [E]together when we [Am]go

[BRIDGE]
[G]We will go down but our [C]heads are proud
[A]We will go down with our [Dm]voices loud
[D]We will go [B]down but [Em]come again.
And we [Am]all go [B]together when we [Em]go

[G]Ah-[C]Ah
[A]Ah-[Dm]Ah
[D]Ah-[Em]Ah
And we [Am]all go [B]together when we [Em]go.

[CHORUS]
[F]We walk proudly, and [C]we walk strong
[Dm]All together we will [Am]go as one
The [F]ground is empty, and [C]cold as [Am]hell
But we [Dm]all go [E]together when we [F]go.

[D#]We walk proudly,
N.C.
and we walk strong
N.C.
All together we will go as one
N.C.
The ground is empty, and cold as hell
N.C.
But we all go together when we go.

[OUTRO]
N.C.
We walk proudly, and we walk strong
N.C.
All together we will go as one
N.C.
The ground is empty, and cold as hell
N.C.
But we all go together when we go.
