Tuning: E A D G B E

These are the chords for Grace Petrie's "I Wish The Guardian Believed That I Exist". Petrie plays a little riff when swapping between A and E almost every time she swaps between those two chords which goes like: A E e|------------0--------| B|-2----------0--------| G|-2----------1--------| D|-2----------2--------| A|-0----------2--------| E|----4---2---0--------| She also adds in little folky embellishments which are fun to figure out your own for just to add some variety to the chords. Enjoy! [Intro] A D A E A D A E A [Verse]

I ^Adon't believe that aliens have ^Dever come to earth and are ^Aburied in the desert by the ^Efeds I ^Aknow that there is no tooth ^Dfairy flying around at night, just loving ^F#mparents putting ^Emoney in those ^Dbeds ^A and as for ^Dhomoeopathy well it's ^Anot my cup of tea but on your right to believe I will ^Einsist because who's to ^Asay what's really ^A7real still I can't ^Dhelp but f^Dmeel I wish the ^AGuardian beli^Eeved that I exi^Ast

[Chorus]

There's ^Dno such thing as a pro^Atest singer we ^Adon't have none of t^Ehose no t^Ahere's no such thi^A7ng as a pr^Dotest sing^Dmer we lo^Ast them when the ^Emines all ^Aclosed

[Instrumental] D A E A D A E A [Verse]

^AI know you miss the good old days of p^Dicket lines and flags When the Sp^Aecials and the Jam all ruled the c^Eharts but if you're ^Areally looking for this gene^Dration's Billy Bragg's We are all ^F#mhere with a ^Efire in our ^Dhearts ^A But we're not ^Don the radio because t^Ahey don't want to know and by this point it's really p^Eretty clear that the mai^Anstream music p^A7ress they j^Dust couldn't c^Dmare less but it's the G^Auardian that keeps ^Eshouting we're not ^Ahere

[Chorus]

There's ^Dno such thing as a pro^Atest singer we ^Adon't have none of t^Ehose no t^Ahere's no such thi^A7ng as a pr^Dotest sing^Dmer we lo^Ast them when the ^Emines all ^Aclosed

[Instrumental] D A E A D A E A [Verse]

I ^Aknow you like to think that no one ^Ddoes it like you did and in 19^A89 the needle just got s^Etuck but ^Ajust because the system is changed it ^Ddoesn't mean you've got the ^Amonopoly on g^Eiving a f^Auck Because ^Dwe all unemployed that housing ^Amarket you've enjoyed is suspended by the renting of the ^Eyouth We've^A had our wages ^A7squeezed, fifty g^Drand tuition f^Dmees so let me ^Alet you in on ^Ethe unspoken t^Aruth:

[Chorus] [strum chords once]

That there's ^Dno such thing as a ^Aprotest singer, no ^Ait's a made up t^Ehing There's ^Ano such thing as a ^Dprotest singer because there's ^F#mpolitics in ^Eeverything we ^Asing

[back to normal strumming]

There's ^Dno such thing as a pro^Atest singer we ^Adon't have none of t^Ehose no t^Ahere's no such thing as a ^Dprotest singer we ^F#mlost them when the ^Emines all c^Alosed

[Outro]

Oh there's n^Do such thing as a ^Aprotest singer a^Against austeri^Ety No there's n^Ao such thing as a ^Dprotest singer cos I can't ^F#mfind them in the ^ENME ^D ^A No I can't f^Dind them in the N^EME

End on A
