[Intro]
Em    Bm7    Em    Bm7
(repeat)
[Verse 1]
Em         Bm7              Em      Bm7
They're profiting from your worry

Em         Bm7              Em      Bm7
They're selling blanks down at the DMZ

Em         Bm7              Am7
They're banking on the sound and fury

Em         Bm7              Am7
Makes you wonder what it all's got to do with me
[Instrumental Bridge]
               Em  Bm7  Em  Bm7  Em  Bm7  Em  Bm7  Em
Bloodless for now
[Verse 2]
Em         Bm7              Em      Bm7
I'm keeping mine with the altruists

Em         Bm7              Em      Bm7
I'm putting my weight behind the dancer

Em         Bm7              Am7
I know it's hard   to be an optimist

Em         Bm7              Am7
When you trust least the ones who claim to have the answers

                    G       G/F       C/G
And it's an uncivil war

                    G       G/F       C/G
It's an uncivil war

                    G       G/F       C/G
It's an uncivil war
[Pre-Chorus]
               Am7
Bloodless for now

                       D7
And the poets they explode like bombs

               Am7
Bloodless for now

                       D7
While the gentry is drinking Moet Chandon

               Am7
Bloodless for now

                       D7
Turn around and quote a well known psalm:
[Chorus]
          G       G/F       C/G
Don't you worry 'bout the wicked

          G       G/F       C/G
Don't you envy those who do wrong

          G       G/F       C/G
And your innocence will be like the dawn

          Am7                        D7
While the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun
[Instrumental Bridge] Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em [Verse 3]
Em         Bm7              Em      Bm7
Well, the best,  have lost their convictions

Em         Bm7              Em      Bm7
And the worst keep sharpening their claws

Em         Bm7              Am7
They're peddling in their dark fictions

Em         Bm7              Am7
While what's left of us, well, we just hem and we haw

                    G       G/F       C/G
And it feels like 1936

                    G       G/F       C/G
In Catalonia

                    G       G/F       C/G
In Catalonia
[Pre-Chorus]
                 Am7

                 Am7
(Whistle)

         D7
(Whistle)

               Am7
Bloodless for now

                       D7
And the poets they explode like bombs

               Am7
Bloodless for now

                       D7
They're drinking Moet Chandon

               Am7
Bloodless for now

                       D7
Turn around and quote a well known psalm:

          G       G/F       C/G
And your innocence will be like the dawn

          Am7                        D7
While the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun
