I saw that there was only one tab out there of this song, and it was not super
accurate as far as I could tell. So I did my own version.
It's pretty simple for most of the song, the only difficult part is the fast riff
at the end of some of the verse phrases (F-C-A-D) I think bar chords make it
easiest to play, but that's just me. Other than that the song can be played in
open position for the other chords.
I copied the lyrics from some site, and I think those might not be correct, but
the chords should all be good.
Enjoy! Let me know if I messed it up!
Oh, OliDmver boy, what did you do?
But crusBbhed a hand you never shook
Then robAbed the rights of people to be free Dm
Oh, OlivDmer boy, it's a terrible state
You leftBb behind the worse of race
Where diAgnity and pride fought for their place Dm
Oh, OlivCer boy now you aFre gone
And we'rAe still here where we beDmlong
A (Dm?)
Forgiveness being our strength you'll never see
Chord Break goes Real fast (F-C-A-Dm)
Now the Dmsunshine's on the page I write
Though it's rainBbing hard in Palestine
Though lands areA promised, lands when will we see? Dm
So don't teDmll me that your God's my God
I don't Bbthink they even care at all
Just a pAhantom man behind the curtain lies does he Dm
Oh, listCen to me bark out loud F
Without Aa voice and a little groDmwl
CSnapping at the Fhills I wait for somethAing more to change
The moreA they stay the same
DmOliver boy, it's the same violation
BbOliver boy, just the clothes are different
FOliver boy, it's the same old story
AWhere there's blood there's definite glory
DmLook into his empty eyes
BbFed upon my parasites
AHis beauty's ugly
Head devours it's pride Dm
While the borderDms of our hate created
BbNothing more than to reach our fate
ATrapped between our comfort and our grind Dm
CSo stand along the graveFyard wall
And watcAh the souls perform this song Dm
CSickening lust, the deadF above
AAs the mourners come to pray, the livingA stay away
DmOliver boy, it's the same violation
BbOliver boy, just the clothes are different
FOliver boy, it's the same old story
AWhere there's blood there's definite glory
DmOliver boy, someone stands there
BbOliver boy, just to count the guns, yeah
FOliver boy, you're dead but listen
AYou were wrong but we're no different
(Chords Behind the Solo)
Dm-Bb-A-Dm
B-F-(A x 2)
DmMarching to the left
BbEveryone in step
FDon't ask the question
AWhy we're here with no direction
DmMarching to the right
BbThis is not our fight
FThe curse of friction
ABorn of man and contradiction
DmOliver boy, it's the same violation
BbOliver boy, just the clothes are different
FOliver boy, it's the same old story
AWhere there's blood there's definite glory
DmOliver boy, someone stands there
BbOliver boy, just to count the guns, yeah
FOliver boy, you're dead but listen
AYou were wrong but we're no different
DmAll of our boys
DmNow the sunshine's on the page I write
Bb (A)-Dm
Though it's raining hard in Palestine
