************************************ | h Hammer-on ************************************ [Intro] Am [Verse 1]
Am
  I have come to a foreign shore

Dm
  Looks familiar, I've been here before

Am
  There's my family, there's my house

     Dm
But we don't belong here, we've gotta get out

     Am
I'm a newborn baby, I've just been born

Dm
  I'm ducking and dodging through tall stalks of corn

Am
  I'll take the job if the money's good

      Dm
But an ancient strain runs in my blood

Am
  Forgotten language plays in my mind

Dm
  I'm always searching for a word I just can't find

Am
  Wouldn't make it a day out here, I couldn't get by

Dm
  Without this underground network on which I rely
[Chorus]
Am                  C
  Change goes on in   semi-darkness

G                     Am
  Long shadows in the alley at dawn

Am                   C
  Those who sow will   soon harvest

G                             Am
  Those who rule will soon be leaving the throne
[Verse 2]
Am
  We travel in tandem, we blend right in

     Dm
But we lock eyes when we pass, a small nod of the chin

Am
  Suitcase in the closet, supplies in the drawer

Dm
  There may come a day when you'll see us no more

Am
  I look calm and collected, I seem at ease

        Dm
But in my mind, the water's up past my knees

Am
  We're playing the long game, we're playing for keeps

Dm
  We're drawing our plans up while the enemy sleeps

Am
  The fire is lit now, cat's out of the cage

Dm
  We stand in the half-light at the edge of the stage

Am
  You won't know it's happening 'til it's already done

Dm
  And the queen in the shadows steps into the sun
[Chorus]
Am                  C
  Change goes on in   semi-darkness

G                     Am
  Long shadows in the alley at dawn

Am                   C
  Those who sow will   soon harvest

G                             Am
  Those who rule will soon be leaving the throne
[Outro] Am
