Standard tuning
Capo version (4th fret)
Intro chords:
Am - G - F - F - C - G
Verse:
Am F G C
The rains move eastward in waves of succession
Am F E
Drawing lines of grey across the sky
Am F G C
With history just as close as a hand on the shoulder
Am F E
In hunger and impatience we cry
Am F G C
The battle against corruption rages in each corner
Am F E
There must be something better, something pure
Am F G C
And the call it is answered from the caves to the cities
Am F E
Come the dealers of Salvation on Earth
Violin part:
Am - F - G - C
Am - F - E
Am - F - G - C
Am - F - E
Verse:
Am F G C
We've seen the restless children at the head of the columns
Am F E
Come to purify the future with the arrogance of youth
Am F G C
Nothing is as cruel as the righteousness of innocents
Am F E
With automatic weapons and a gospel of the truth
Chorus:
E D C B
Revolution for ever, succession of the seasons
C G F E
Within the blood of Nature, all raised to rot and die
F E Am - F - G - C etc.
This purity, purity is a lie
Violin part
Verse:
Am F G C
Now immaculate conception in sterilised laboratories
Am F E
How the vanity goes on
Am F G C
Or in the message of the preacher with his morals and obsessions
Am F E
The wars that we wage upon ourselves
G F
Purity is a virtue, purity is an angel
Am E
Purity is for madmen to make fools of us all
Am F G C
So forgive yourself my friend, all this will soon be over
Am F E
What happened here tonight is nothing at all
Chorus:
E D C B
Revolution for ever, succession of the seasons
C G F E
Within the blood of Nature, all raised to rot and die
F E Am - F - G - C etc.
This purity, purity is a lie
Violin part
Am F G C
I will always see Brendan at that broken down piano
Am F E
His fingers thick and red, shaking on the keys
Am F G C
Battered by the years of alcohol and working
Am F E
Still playing with the faith that never leaves
Am F G C
So sit us down, buy us a drink, tell us a good story
Am F E
Sing us a song we know to be true
Am F G C
I don't give a damn that I never will be worthy
Am F E Am... etc
Fear is the only enemy that I still know
Violin outro
I couldn't find these anywhere so I worked them out. 'Purity is a virtue...' may
not be 100% but it can work well this way.
Great song, enjoy.
