CAPO III
Intro: Am, C x4
Verse:
Ive been Amwaiting for Csomething to Amhappen C
For a Amweek or a moCnth or a yearAm C
With the Amblood in the iCnk of the heaAmdlines C
And the sAmound of the Ccrowd in my eAmar C
You might Amask what it Ctakes to remeAmmber C
When you Amknow that you've Cseen it beforAme C
Where a Amgovernment lCies to a peAmople C
And a Amcountry is dCrifting to waAmr
Pre-chorus:
And theres a Fshadow on the Amfaces
Of the Fmen who send the Amguns
To the Fwars that are fought in Cplaces
Where their Cbusiness interest Eruns
Verse 2 (same arrangement as Verse 1):
On the radio talk shows and the t.v.
You hear one thing again and again
How the u.s.a. stands for freedom
And we come to the aid of a friend
But who are the ones that we call our friends--
These governments killing their own?
Or the people who finally cant take any more
Chorus:
And they Fpick up a gun or a brickE or a stone
There are Amlives iCn the balanceAm C
There are Ampeople Cunder fire Am C
There are Amchildren Cat the cannonAms C
And there is Fblood on the wire E
Interlude
Pre-chorus:
Theres a Fshadow on the Amfaces
Of the Fmen who fan the Amflames
Of the Fwars that are fought in plCaces
Where we cant Ceven say the Enames
Verse 3:
They sell us the president the same way
They sell us our clothes and our cars
They sell us every thing from youth to religion
The same time they sell us our wars
I want to know who the men in the shadows are
I want to hear somebody asking them why
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
Chorus:
But tFheyre never the oneEs to fight or to die
And there are Amlives iCn the balance Am C
There are Ampeople Cunder fire Am C
There are cAmhildrenC at the cannons Am C
And there is Fblood on the wire E
Outro:
Am, C x3, end with Am.
