Biography:
Mischief Brew was an anarchist folk-punk band. A wicked concoction by Erik Petersen – a musical feast falling somewhere between the categories of pirate punk, Celtic folk, gypsy swing, devilish jazz, American olde-tyme and country. It’s good music to stomp, kick, pogo, jitterbug, waltz, drink, twist and shout to – whether the performance is solo acoustic or with a backing band of accordion, drums, and mandolin.
Erik started making music at a young age

[Verse 1]
Em D Em D C
Paris 1933
Am Em D Em D Em
It says here: army marches streets
Em D Em D C
A thousand soldiers seen today
Am
All on the eve of May Day
Em D C Am
I found a paper in the antique
Em D C Am Em
"Paris Warlike On May Day Eve"
[Instrumental]
Em D Em D Em
[Verse 2]
Em D Em D C
This gasoline has met its match
Am Em D Em D Em
Any uprising will be smashed
Em D Em D C
The stirring guns and loaded tanks
Am
So who shall cast the first red flag?
Em D C Am
On yellow paper, black type
Em D C Am Em
Troops are ready to smash a general strike
Em D C Am
Up in the attic, under dust
Em D C Am
I opened up a soldier's trunk
Em D C Am Em
And now the ghosts inside are all stirred up
[Instrumental]
Em D C/D Am x3

Em D Em D Em
[Verse 3]
Em D Em D C
Can almost hear those trumpets blare
Am Em D Em D Em
They're holding fire in the square
Em D Em D C
They're standing on some general's bones
Am
And that's all the AP wrote
Em D C Am
I guess the people all went to sleep
Em D C Am
I wonder, what did May first's headlines read?
Em D C Am
All on the paper in the antique
Em D C Am Em
Paris Warlike On May Day Eve
