The Nightwatchman - Maximum Firepower My first "tab" this one, but it's such a great song and nobody posted the chords for it here you go. The bridge after each chorus is a bit off, but feel free to give me a one at hhanasand@gmail.com and I'll do some changes. Enjoy.
AmThis one's for the shoeshine boy And the farmer in debt AmEach string is barbed wire Each chord is a threat GThis blues guy I met That never had a hit AmSaid you don't gotta be loud, son To be heavy as shit AmWell I'm the triggerman, baby And tonight I'll prove AmThat this machine here Well it kills fascists too GAnd don't be surprised If the sermon on the mount AmNext time is delivered In a little coffee house DmCause somebody here's Gotta let them know AmI doubt it's me But here I go DmI hit the button Tape started to roll AmThe song's got fire GBut it's got no soul
C Am G There's a lonely stretch of blacktop G Am Between here and home C G Am Drop down into the valley G Am Piano playin' in the living room F Am And when you see the white barn G Am You'll know the journey's through C G Am My dog's barking in the backseat G Am Cause he knows it too Dm - C - G
AmYou'll need a fake passport And fix your disguise AmAnd don't fire, sugar Til you see the whites of their eyes GI turned the other cheek But now I'm through AmThe skin you're in Makes choices for you DmI was checking off names And I came late to dinner AmSeems the slices of pie Keep getting thinner and thinner GBrothers and sisters Rejoice and repent AmThe landlord's dead You can keep the rent DmYou got twelve fine friends But one of 'em's rotten AmThere's a hole out back Ain't got no bottom DmForty days in the wilderness Forty sleepless nights AmI'm confused, half blind GAnd sure I'm right
C Am G There's a lonely stretch of blacktop G Am Between here and home C G Am Drop down into the valley G Am Piano playin' in the living room F Am And when you see the white barn G Am You'll know the journey's through C G Am My dog's barking in the backseat G Am Cause he knows it too Dm - C - G
DmOfficer please I won't be long AmCalled the radio station Requested this song DmI had my doubts About what I knew AmSo I turned it up GThen it sounded true AmKiss the ring If the Queen will let you AmBut come over the fence And the dogs will get you GOn a rope hung the traitor On a hook hung the meat AmYou and me are missing persons C G Til we're counted in the streets AmSo seize the time And storm the tower GAnd come correct Maximum Firepower (continued)
Am (??) With Maximum Firepower For the sins of the fathers The son he must pay
AmThe Nightwatchman giveth C G And he taketh away DmThought hard about this next line Pretty sure it's true AmIf you take a step towards freedom It'll take two steps towards you DmSo mister I ain't scared And mister I ain't worried Am G Cause on that lonely stretch of blacktop I sit as judge and jury
C Am G There's a lonely stretch of blacktop G Am Between here and home C G Am Drop down into the valley G Am Piano playin' in the living room F Am And when you see the white barn G Am You'll know the journey's through C G Am My dog's barking in the backseat G Am Cause he knows it too Dm - C - G
AmThe clock strikes the hour Tonight we ride The clock strikes the hour Tonight we ride The clock strikes the hour Tonight we ride GYou've got three more seconds Am To choose sides
