CAPO III
Intro: Em, D x4
Verse:
Em D Em D
Ive been waiting for something to happen
Em D Em D
For a week or a month or a year
Em D Em D
With the blood in the ink of the headlines
Em D Em D
And the sound of the crowd in my ear
Em D Em D
You might ask what it takes to remember
Em D Em D
When you know that you've seen it before
Em D Em D
Where a government lies to a people
Em D Em
And a country is drifting to war
Pre-chorus:
C Em
And theres a shadow on the faces
C Em
Of the men who send the guns
C G
To the wars that are fought in places
D B
Where their business interest runs
Verse 2 (same arrangement as Verse 1):
On the radio talk shows and the t.v.
You hear one thing again and again
How the u.s.a. stands for freedom
And we come to the aid of a friend
But who are the ones that we call our friends--
These governments killing their own?
Or the people who finally cant take any more
Chorus:
C B
And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone
Em D Em D
There are lives in the balance
Em D Em D
There are people under fire
Em D Em D
There are children at the cannons
C B
And there is blood on the wire
Interlude
Pre-chorus:
C Em
Theres a shadow on the faces
C Em
Of the men who fan the flames
C G
Of the wars that are fought in places
D B
Where we cant even say the names
Verse 3:
They sell us the president the same way
They sell us our clothes and our cars
They sell us every thing from youth to religion
The same time they sell us our wars
I want to know who the men in the shadows are
I want to hear somebody asking them why
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
Chorus:
C B
But theyre never the ones to fight or to die
Em D Em D
And there are lives in the balance
Em D Em D
There are people under fire
Em D Em D
There are children at the cannons
C B
And there is blood on the wire
Outro:
Em, D x3, end with Em.
