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 G C 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.~~

D D7 I bless you madly Bm Bb D Sadly as I tie my shoe D7 I love you badly Bm Bb D D7 Just in time, at times, I guess Bm Bb D D7 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 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 Bbm Db 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 Am F No purse of token fortunes stands in Our way G C The silent guns of love will blast the sky Am F We broke the ruptured structure build of age G C Our weapons were tongues of crying rage Am F 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- C Am 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 Ab Oh, We Want to Live Bb We Want to Live C We Want to Live
