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!
This is an acoustic version I downloaded from the BRMC forum pages somewhere
and search around. Love these guys, their hard stuff and acoustic stuff.
Because this is the acoustic version, it does not fit with the album version, but I love
version anyway.
CAPO 1
INTRO: Am > E
VERSE: Am > E > Am > D
CHORUS: F > Am > F > C > E
BRIDGE: Am > E > C > D (not completely convinced it's a C here, but seems to fit alright)
LYRICS (may not be totally accurate):
VERSE:
Am
I spit my faith on the city pavement
E
To keep a smile
Am
I bought my legs from the US Government
D
To keep me in line
CHORUS:
F Am
We are the ones that keep you down
F C
We are the ones that warm the ground
E
While our arms surround
VERSE:
I filled my head with another replacement
To keep me high
I shot my soul when you wanted to take it
Your worst ain't mine
CHORUS:
We are the ones that keep you high
We are the ones that warm the sky
And you're burning bright
INTRO:
Ooh
VERSE:
She's my river of sunshine she's my girl
(She's my girl)
She can save the US and save the world
(Save the world)
CHORUS:
She's alright I'll be fine
There's no US save your mind
Save your mind
VERSE:
I'll give you nothing if you're just gonna waste it
But that's alright
I'll give you love if you wanting the taste that
That leaves it behind
CHORUS:
We are the ones that keep you high
We are the ones that burn your pride
And you're burning bright
INTRO:
Ooh
BRIDGE:
I've been waiting for the sun to come
Lead me through the gates of Rome
You're gonna know they were never
Never yours to kill
(x2)
I've been waiting for the sun to come
Surely I must be undone
You're gonna know they were never
Never yours to kill
OUTRO:
Am (mix in some hammers to Asus4)
