It's two tracks but I figured I'd rather submit it as one song
A
Past my window, out in the street
Life makes short work of all I see
G
Men take the change from beggars
Tight bound in sheets
F A
Red and blue, the useless sirens scream
A
Song of masses, passing outside
All inciting the fifth of July
G
When guns for hire open fire
Blind against the dawn
F A
When the knights in iron took the pawn
F
You and I, out into the night
A
Held within the line that they have drawn
[Chorus]
D
As I went they're all beside us in silence
As if unaffected amid the violence
Bm F#m E D Bm
Ooh, are we also tamed
I was in a river, as if in water
Wife, a son, a son, a son and a daughter
F#m E D
Ooh, are we also tamed?
A
I walked home, no words to say
Cassius, one month gone on his way
G
And who will lead us
And who remains to die?
F A
By a thread, drop my head to cry
[Chorus]
D
As I went they're all beside us in silence
As if unaffected amid the violence
Bm F#m E D Bm
Ooh, are we also tamed
I was in a river, as if in water
Wife, a son, a son, a son and a daughter
F#m E D
Ooh, are we also tamed?
Bm F#m E D Bm (3x, bass solo)
a couple measures of A, then bridge:
F F#13* (7x) *or just use F# or F#7 if you want, but I hear that D# note in one of the electrics
F into D (this starts the second track)
--------------
hold on D until the lyrics start (it ain't long)
(D) G D
Who stole the life from you?
G
Who turned you so against you?
C
Who was the thief, who shaved your teeth
Bm Am D
Accepting just virtue?
G D
And did he act alone?
G D
Were any more complicit?
C
When he would sing, and offer the ring
Bm Am
What older voice said, "kiss it"?
D
D G (2x)
D F#7
G#m F# (3x)
G#m G
Am G
D
G D
Fire can't doubt its heat
G D
Water can't doubt its power
C
You're not adrift
You're not a gift
Bm Am D
You know you're not a flower
