Strawbs - Revenge (Can Be So Sweet)
[Intro]
Am C Em7 D (3x)
[Verse 1]
Am C
A confluence of rivers once flowed out to the sea
Em7 D
Where forests grew abundant and nature’s gifts were free
Am C
Man built his mighty temples and prayed at his own feet
Em7 D
But the desert sands were shifting, revenge can be so sweet
[Chorus]
Am
We shall all rise up
C
March to the beat
Em7
We shall all rise up
D
Revenge can be so sweet
Am
We shall all rise up
C
March to the beat
Em7 D
We shall all rise up
[Verse 2]
Am C
Beneath the Tower of Babel crowds began to form
Em7 D
Gathering in defiance in the forefront of the storm
Am C
Machinery breathed fire, melting with the heat
Em7 D
Flames lit up the night sky, revenge can be so sweet
[Chorus]
Am
We shall all rise up
C
March to the beat
Em7
We shall all rise up
D
Revenge can be so sweet
Am
We shall all rise up
C
March to the beat
Em7 D
We shall all rise up

[Verse 3]
Am C
The culture of possession is both perilous and plain
Em7 D
Man shows no inhibitions in the conquests that remain

Those who breed corruption, should sleep out in the street

Life is meant for living, revenge can be so sweet
[Chorus]
Am
We shall all rise up
C
March to the beat
Em7
We shall all rise up
D
Revenge can be so sweet
Am
We shall all rise up
C
March to the beat

We shall all rise up

We shall all rise up
C
March to the beat

We shall all rise up

We shall all rise up
