Biography:
Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution (commonly abbreviated BOTAR) is an acoustic band started by Tomas Kalnoky. Often viewed as a precursor to Streetlight Manifesto, BOTAR is recognized as something of a side-project. 2001 marked the release of their only recording to date, "A Call To Arms". With 5 songs, including an updated version of Catch 22's "Dear Sergio", and the future Streetlight Manifesto song "Here's To Life", this collection marked something of a transition for Kalnoky.

Intro
C Dm G C x2
Verse
C Dm
Once again I wake up alone on the wrong side of my bed
G C
And once again you begin your dancing nakedly on the right side of my head
C Dm
It’s for a lack of better words that I can hardly speak my soul
G C-C-C (fade)
And I’m feeling what I’m feeling when I’m feeling when it’s time to lose control, my love
Chorus
F G Am Am Am Am Am/G pull off to open
And once again we’re off to war
F G Am~
But I can’t agree with what we’re fighting for
F G C----G------Am~-----G~ F
And that’s not all, because every time she smiles I see her soul
G~
When I smile what a wonderful life
Bridge
C Dm G C x2
Verse
C
It’s true I used to try
Dm
But then I gave up, I learned it doesn’t really matter
G
What I do ain’t enough to appease or to please
C
All my well meaning deeds seem to all go up in smoke
C Dm
And every time I look into these smoke filled skies I wonder what she’s doing, why I
volunteered to die
G C
But tonight I will fight for my life so I might see my wife again
Chorus
F G Am Am Am Am/Am/G pull off to open
I explained to her that I’d be back
F G Am~
When I gave my word that the fighting wouldn’t last
F G C~-----G~-----Am~------(G) F
But despite my pact, I know that every breath I draw might be my last
G
And I smile, it’s been a wonderful life

Verse
C Dm
Goddamn(-it), another summer in the city and
G
I never seen a girl look so pretty as you
When you smile oh you’re wild for a while
C
I was hoping I might see you again
C
And I know (I know)that everybody is willing to go
Dm
And I find(I find) I’ll turn it all and leave on a dime
G C
If I leave tonight, screw what’s right, I can make it home by dawn
Chorus
F G Am Am Am Am Am/G pull off to open
And I was told, “Boy, prepare for war!”
F G Am~
But they failed to mention what I’d be fighting for
F G
So I fight for this:
C-------------G-----Am F
The fact that as I pass away, I’ll feel her kiss
G C
When I smile, what a wonderful life
C G
Me oh my, what a wonderful life
