Ezra Furman – Book Of Our Names (Guitar)

                C    Fmaj7/C               C        Fmaj7/C
I want there to be,          a book of our names

             Am       F                C
None of them missing,   none quite the same

           Am     D7            F         D#dim
None of us ashes,     all of us flames

      C       Fmaj7/C               C        Fmaj7/C
And I want us           to read it aloud

          C    Fmaj7/C               C        Fmaj7/C
I want to tell          of our exile here

             Am       F                        C
In a cruel machinery,   our bodies between the gears

                   Am    D7                     F       D#dim
And our world back home,    just the ghost of a prayer

      C        Fmaj7/C            C       Fmaj7/C
And I want us          to read it aloud

  C            Fmaj7/C            C       Fmaj7/C
I want us              to read it aloud

                      Am
And our names will be heard

Am(maj7)                Am7
         Through prison walls

D7              C         Fmaj7/C
   The wet city streets

                  C
And international calls

                  Am
And we'll read it until

Am(maj7)                    Am7    D7
          This whole empire falls

    C    Fmaj7/C                     C         Fmaj7/C
And then         we will continue to read it

                     C      Fmaj7/C                  C
  And the names will be       the real ones that are ours

             Am           F              C
Not the ones given to us    by the enemy powers

                     Am    D7                       F       D#dim
But the ones that we know,     in our bones and our bowels

            C   Fmaj7/C                      C         Fmaj7/C
And they'll be           said out loud and repeated

C    Fmaj7/C
  Mmm

                     C   Fmaj7/C               C        Fmaj7/C
Yes, I want there to be          a book of our names

           Am       F                   C
None of us missing,    none exactly the same

           Am     D7            F         D#dim
None of us ashes,     all of us flames

      C       Fmaj7/C               C        Fmaj7/C
And I want us           to read it aloud

      C       Fmaj7/C               C        Fmaj7/C
And I want us           to read it aloud
