Biography:
Levellers is a popular English rock band influenced by punk and traditional English music. The band is based in Brighton, England, where they were founded in 1988. There are several stories regarding how they got their name; from the Levellers, a radically democratic faction of Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army; as a reference to "The Level", a flat open space near where members of the band used to live in Brighton; or simply, according to guitarist, Simon Friend, a word they chose from a dictionary.

Intro:
Am F G Em x2
Verse 1:
Am F G Em
Five in the morning an hour before dawn, they wake her up in her bed
Am F G G
Standing over her body, and holding a gun to her head
Am F
She says "why have you come, oh and what have I done"
G Em
They'll tell her "it's come to defeat"
Am F G G
Then they kick through her paintings, and drag her out into the street
Chorus 1:
Am F G G
Oh my love, don't take any-more
Am F G G
Oh my love, break down the door
Am F G Em
Verse 2:
Am F
By day they take her, and interiogate her
G Em
and tell her "she's crude and insane"
Am F G G
but by night the same keepers, will steal in and rape her aain
Am F
She can't see who they are, through the thick black bars
G Em
That cast shadows over her eyes
Am F G G
And if she resists, they'll beat hear with fists til she cries
Chorus 2:
Am F G G
Oh my love, don't take any-more
Am F G G
Oh my love, break down the door
Am F G G
Oh my love, there's a sun in the east
Am F G Em
Its your release
Am F G Em x5
Verse 3:
Am F
So you the dictator, whose choosen to hate her
G Em
tellin' ya to listen to me
Am F
There are others who'll fight for the right
G G
to be tender and free
Am F
If she dies at your hands, just you understand
G Em
I've a knife that is sharp and clean
Am F
And i'll paint in your blood, til it turns to a flood
G G
Let her be
Chorus 3:
Am F G G
Oh my love, don't take any-more
Am F G G
Oh my love, break down the door
Am F G G
Oh my love, there's a sun in the east
Am
It's your release
