Bad Religion – Requiem For Dissent (Guitar)

Am
Oratory of hope and glory, a whisper and a rhyme

   F         G
An effigy, a soldier out of time

Am
Citizen and patriot, you can't be far behind

    F                    G
The funeral is weighting heavy on your mind

Am
Requiem

          F              C
Bring the dissident from slumber

          F              G

          F            C
Sound the revolution's thunder

  G          D        F      G      Am
A monumental blunder averted and betrayed

Am
Dig around the cemetery, a record of the day

F                        G
Friends and neighbors in stages of decay

Am
But the saddest thing of all eludes discovery

    F                G
The stimulus of this somber ceremony

Am
Requiem

          F              C

  G          D        F      G      Am
A monumental blunder averted and betrayed

    Am
The sanctimonious minions how they grovel at the feet

   F         G
Authority is populist deceit

Am
Pity yet another casualty's demoralized decline

F                  G
Just a victim of irrational design
