Song: Sons of Liberty Artist: Frank Turner Album: Poetry of the Deed Tuning: Standard Note: I think there's something going on in the verses before the D chord goes back to the E chord, but I can't quite pin it down. A-maj just doesn't sound right. VERSE 1
EOnce an honest man could go from sunrise to its Dset Dwithout encountering agents of his state or governmEent. EBut a sorry cloud of tyranny has fallen across the lDand, Dbrought on by the hollow men, who did not underEstand Ethat for centuries our forefathers have fought and often Ddied Dto keep themselves unto themselves, to fight the rising Etide, Eand that if in the smallest battles we surrender to the Dstate, Dwe enter in a darkness whence we never shall esEcape.
BRIDGE F# B E B
WheAn they raise their hands up our lives to possess, F#to know our souls, to Bdrag us Edown, we'll reBsist. A
VERSE 2
EWatt Tyler led the people in 13D81 Dto meet the king at Smithfield and issue this deEmand: Ethat Winchester’s should be the only law across theD land, Dthe law of old King Alfred's time, of free and honest Emen. EBecause the people then they understood what we have since forDgot: Dthat governments will only work for its own beneEfit. EAnd I’d rather stand up naked against the elementsD alone Dthan give the hollow men the right to enter in my Ehome.
BRIDGE F# B E B
WheAn they raise their hands up our lives to possess, F#to know our souls, to dBrag usE down, we'll reBsist. A
SOLO: Chords: E - E E - E - E - D - E - E - D - A - E (x4) E CHORUS (First two times no guitar, guitar on third and fourth time)
EStand up sons of liberty and Dfight for Awhat you Eown. EStand up sons of liberty and Dfight, fight Afor your Ehomes.
OUTRO
ESo if ever a man should ask you for your business, or your Dname, Dtell him to go and fuck himself, tell his friends to do the Esame. EBecause a man who'd trade his liberty for a safe and dreamless Dsleep Ddoesn't deserve the both of them, and neither shall he Ekeep.
