The Levellers son una popular banda inglesa que toca folk rock o Indie rock influenciado por el punk y la música inglesa tradicional. Tienen origen en Brighton, Inglaterra, donde el gupo fue fundado en 1988. Hay varias historias acerca de cómo obtuvieron su nombre: de los Levellers, una facción democrática radical de Oliver Cromwells New Model Army, o como una referencia a "The Level", un área de Brighton alrededor de un triángulo verde en el centro de Brighton

100 years of solitude - Levellers From eponymous album
It like to play the song using barre chords: Bm(VII), A(V), G(III)D(V) and Bm(II) in the "things you learnt" bit
you could use power (5th) chords. They often use "normal" open position chords live
//// //// //// //// Bm | G |D |A
Bm (N.C) fade out w/vol or whatever All around you slow decay Wanna feel the sun of a new day Forget all tme chances lost Shedding innocence like falling dust
BmG All the things you learned too young BmG The songs you knew but never sung BmG Waited a long time and wasted more DA Forgotten what you waited for
BmAG Excuse me ma'am for being so rude DA Feels like 100 years of solitude BmAG My mind is numb but my mouth's ok DA And you can listen or walk away
Bm | G |D |A x2
Bm (N.C) No solutions built to last Just your petty scores to settle fast G The n.m.e was nothing to you DA And the maker, well the maker of who BmG This walkman generation BmG In search of sweet sedation BmG While forests choke under a'lever sky DA And the exxon birds that'll never fly
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE] (in octaves) BDE --------------- --------------- --------------- -9---12---14- -x---x-----x---- -7---10---12- E We tried, we cried. We fell. We lied X This life's like a white knuckle ride (N.C) G Crack babies born too young DA And l.a. kids who dance to the gun BmG So forget this so called dirt of mine BmG It's tust the dust and diesel of passing time BmG It's all around you - a tragedy, look DA So forget the cover and read the book.
[CHORUS]
Bm | G |D |A x2

E5 Palm Muted then as Bridge to End
Have fun!
oh if anyone can tell me what is meant by the whole "a'lever sky" and "exxon birds" (or any) bit
