Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
It's two tracks but I figured I'd rather submit it as one song
A
Past my window, out in the street
Life makes short work of all I see
G
Men take the change from beggars
Tight bound in sheets
F A
Red and blue, the useless sirens scream
A
Song of masses, passing outside
All inciting the fifth of July
G
When guns for hire open fire
Blind against the dawn
F A
When the knights in iron took the pawn
F
You and I, out into the night
A
Held within the line that they have drawn
[Chorus]
D
As I went they're all beside us in silence
As if unaffected amid the violence
Bm F#m E D Bm
Ooh, are we also tamed
I was in a river, as if in water
Wife, a son, a son, a son and a daughter
F#m E D
Ooh, are we also tamed?
A
I walked home, no words to say
Cassius, one month gone on his way
G
And who will lead us
And who remains to die?
F A
By a thread, drop my head to cry
[Chorus]
D
As I went they're all beside us in silence
As if unaffected amid the violence
Bm F#m E D Bm
Ooh, are we also tamed
I was in a river, as if in water
Wife, a son, a son, a son and a daughter
F#m E D
Ooh, are we also tamed?
Bm F#m E D Bm (3x, bass solo)
a couple measures of A, then bridge:
F F#13* (7x) *or just use F# or F#7 if you want, but I hear that D# note in one of the electrics
F into D (this starts the second track)
--------------
hold on D until the lyrics start (it ain't long)
(D) G D
Who stole the life from you?
G
Who turned you so against you?
C
Who was the thief, who shaved your teeth
Bm Am D
Accepting just virtue?
G D
And did he act alone?
G D
Were any more complicit?
C
When he would sing, and offer the ring
Bm Am
What older voice said, "kiss it"?

You're not a gift

You know you're not a flower

Past my window, out in the street
Life makes short work of all I see
