D D/C
I bless you madly
Bm Bb D
Sadly as I tie my shoe
D/C
I love you badly
Bm Bb D D/C
Just in time at times I guess
Bm Bb D D/C
Because of you I need to rest
Bm Bb D
Because it s you that sets the test
Eb Bbm
So much has gone and little is new
Bbm A
And as the sparrow sings
F#
Dawn chorus for
Bbm
Someone else to hear
Bbm A
The thinker sits alone
F# Bbm
Growing older
And so bitter
F Bbm
I gave Them life I gave Them all
C Fm
They drained my very soul dry
F Bbm
I crushed my heart to ease Their pains
C Fm Ab
No thought for me remains there
Bbm Db
Nothing can they spare
C
What of me
Am F
Who praised Their efforts to be free
G C
Words of strength and care and sympathy
Am F
I open doors that would have blocked their way
GC
I braved Their cause to guide for little pay
Am F
I ravaged at my finanace just for Those
G C
Those whose claims were steeped in peace tranquility
Am F
Those who said a new world new ways ever free
G C
Those whose promises stretched in hope and grace for me
Am F G

Because of you I need to rest

Because it s you that sets the test
Eb Bbm
So much has gone and little is new
Bbm A
And as the sunrise stream
F#Bbm
Flickers on me
Bbm A
My friends talk of glory untold dream
F# Bbm
Where all is God and God is just a word
F Bbm
We had a friend a talking man
C Fm
Who spoke of many powers that he had
F Bbm
Not of the best of men but Ours
C Fm Ab
We used him We let him use his powers
BbmDb
We let him fill our needs
C
Now we are strong
Am F
And the road is coming to its end
G C
Now the damned have not time to make amends
AmF
No purse of token fortunes stands in Our way
G C
The silent guns of love will blast the sky
AmF
We broke the ruptured structure build of age
GC
Our weapons were tongues of crying rage
AmF
Where money stood we planted seeds of rebirth
G C
And stabbed the backs of fathers sons of dirt
Am
Infiltrated business cesspools
F
Hating through Our sleeves
G
Yea and We slit the Catholic throat
C
Stoned the poor on slogans as
Wish You Could Hear
Am
Love Is All We Need
Kick Out The Jams
Kick Out Your Mother
F
Cut Up Your Friend
G
Screw Up Your Brother or He ll Get You In the End
CAm
And We Know the Flag of Love is from Above
F
And We Can Force You to Be Free
G C
And We Can Force You to Believe
Am
And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain
F
For I once read a book in which the lovers were slain
G
For they Knew not the words of the Free States refrain
It said
C
I Believe in the Power of Good
Am
I Believe in the State of Love
F
I Will Fight For the Right to be Right
G
C
I Will Kill for the Good of the Fight for the Right to be Right
Am F
And I open my eyes to look around
G
And I see a child laid slain on the ground
C Am
As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows
F G
Ploughing down man woman listening to its command
C
But not hearing anymore
Am F
Not hearing anymore
G
Just the shrieks from the old rich
C
And I Want to Believe
G
In the madness that calls Now
C
And I Want to Believe
G
That a light is shining through somehow
Bb
And I Want to Believe
F
And You Want to Believe
C
And We Want to Believe
G
And We Want to Live
