Intro: Em G C (2x)

               Em                G        C       
Oh what have we here, he must be three or four, 
               Em          G           C 
Shaken out of a boot on its way back to war 
                    G     Bm          Em 
And he’s not looking for a father or a mother, 
      C              G 
Just a seven year old brother, 
       Am                  D 
On this smudged line border camp of refugees, 

     Em       G              C 
     I am the one who will remember everything 
     Em       G              C 
     I am the one who will remember everything 

               Em           G          C 
So where are we now, he must be five or six, 
            Em             G               C 
Just running around, hungry kids, sharpened sticks. 
           G         Bm                Em 
And he will grow with pain and fear and jealousy, 
           C          G 
Taken in by schools of zealotry, 
         Am              D 
Who train orphans to make orphans evermore. 

     Em       G              C 
     I am the one who will remember everything 
     Em       G              C 
     I am the one who will remember everything 
     Em       G              C 
     I am the one who will remember everything 
     Em       G              C 
     I am the one who will remember everything 

Bridge: 
             Em                  G 
You drink the smoke, you ride the noise 
             C 
You drink the smoke, you ride the noise, 
       Em             G 
And you say it’s necessary, 
           C 
And you forget the ordinary 

          Em     G             C  
But I say, on the wheel of time, 

Scour the Earth and find the 
Em        G                   C 
Orphans of forgetting, all the orphans of forgetting, 
         Em                 G 
Give them stars for math and praise for good play, 
C                Am 
Here’s a Band-Aid, happy birthday, 
D 
Yes of course I did remember, 
                     Em 
I remember everything 

            Em              G             C 
Oh come over here, kid we’ve got all these books to read, 
                    Em              G                 C 
With the turtles and frogs, cats and dogs who civilize the centuries, 
        G            Bm               Em 
And in a world that’s angry, cruel and furious, 
            C                 G 
There’s this monkey who’s just curious, 
        Am           D 
Floating high above a park with bright balloons. 

I am the one who will remember everything. 

     Em       G              C 
     I am the one who will remember everything 
     Em       G              C 
     I am the one who will remember everything 
     Em       G              C 
     I am the one who will remember everything 
     Em       G              C 
     I am the one who will remember everything 
Em 
Everything…
