Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
We  carried  you in our arms on independence day.
And now  you'd throw us all aside, and put us on our way
Oh,  what  dear daughter 'neath the sun, would treat a father so
To  wait  upon him hand and foot, and always tell him, no
Tears  of rage,  tears  of grief, why must I always be the thief?
Come to  me  now, you  know we're so alone, and life is brief
 (low)
 We pointed out the way to go, and scratched your name in sand
 Though you just thought it was nothing more, than a place for you to stand
 Now, I want you to know that while we watched,you discovered there was no one true
 Most everybody really thought it was a childish thing to do
 (chorus)
 It was all very painless, when you went out to receive
 All that false instruction, which we never could believe
 And now the hart is filled with gold,as if it was a purse
 Oh, but what kind of love is this, which goes from bad to worse
 (chorus)
