Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
AE Things fall apart everything tends to decay AA7 And so it takes a lot to combine atoms in such a way DAF#m That they resist the lure of that darkness EDA That lurks around the edges of every day
AE So I'm inviting you to join me in this fight AA7 To go down to the river and come up all three times DAF#m Hank Williams was right no one gets out alive EDA All we can do is try to have a really good time
ADA Resist the tide stand in the water EAA7 That's baptism that's making light DAF#m Electricity is proof that there can be EDA A little bit of light in all this darkness
AE So please don't go so gently into that good night AA7 Rage rage rage against the dying of the light DAF#m You know you got a voice to talk with you can call your own EDA So clear your throat and start singing this song
ADA Resist the tide stand in the water EAA7 That's baptism that's making light DAF#m Electricity is proof that there can be light EDA It takes a lot of work but oh baby it's worth it
