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!

Brand new song, they've played it live but now the final version is here. Some words are off here and there
and some plain missing cause I learned them by ear. If you have corrections in them let me
know. Enjoy!

I play E and Emaj7, respectively, as:

e|-------|
A|-9---9-|
D|-9---8-|
G|-9---9-|
B|-7---7-|
E|-------|

Here's a story about the rules of death or glory to be learned by heart by all children or
men.

It's the hour of the morning on the day after the dawning when the sun they said

would never set,
B
it finally set again.
E Emaj7 E Emaj7 G#m
Was it Cromwell or Orwell who first lead you to the stairwell which leads only forever to

kingdoms to come?
A C#m
Rushed alone by guiding hands, whispers of the promised land
D B
They wished you luck and handed you a gun

[Chorus]

C E
Life could be so handsome
C E
Life could be so gay

We're going nowhere
D B
But nowhere, nowhere is on our way

[Verse 2]

E Emaj7 E Emaj7
In the pub that night racking out the lines of shite
G#m
Putting to right all of the world's great wrongs
A C#m D
Yes we thought that they were brothers then they half-murdered each other, then they did a
B
karaoke turn and murdered our best song
E Emaj7 E Emaj7 G#m
Told the governor's wife about the last night of his life, she turned away in tears called

you a liar
A C#m
Where are all your dreams now? The battalions, once so proud,
D B
Lost in some old song and hanging on the old barbed-wire

[Chorus]

C E
Well life could be so handsome
C E
It's all going to be okay
C E
We're going nowhere
D B
But nowhere, nowhere is on our way

E Emaj7 E Emaj7
Nowhere in the institutions, did they teach that revolution?
G#m
Something that could ever come to pass
A C#m
All we tried once before was the king's head on the floor
D B
And we got booted out the boozer cause someone smashed the glass

[Chorus]

C E
Life could be so handsome
C E
Life could be okay
C E
We're going nowhere
D B
But nowhere, nowhere is on our way
C E
Life could be so handsome
C E
It's all gonna be okay
C E
We're going nowhere
D B
But nowhere, nowhere is on our way
