Chords

It's two tracks but I figured I'd rather submit it as one song
A
Past my window, out in the street
Life makes short work of all I see
G
Men take the change from beggars
Tight bound in sheets
F                                A
Red and blue, the useless sirens scream

A
Song of masses, passing outside
All inciting the fifth of July
     G
When guns for hire open fire
Blind against the dawn
F                                 A
When the knights in iron took the pawn

F
You and I, out into the night

                                    A
Held within the line that they have drawn
[Chorus]
D
As I went they're all beside us in silence
As if unaffected amid the violence
     Bm  F#m E D  Bm
Ooh, are we  also tamed
I was in a river, as if in water Wife, a son, a son, a son and a daughter
         F#m E    D
Ooh, are we  also tamed?

A
I walked home, no words to say
Cassius, one month gone on his way
    G
And who will lead us
And who remains to die?
F                            A
By a thread, drop my head to cry
[Chorus]
D
As I went they're all beside us in silence
As if unaffected amid the violence
     Bm  F#m E D  Bm
Ooh, are we  also tamed
I was in a river, as if in water Wife, a son, a son, a son and a daughter
         F#m E    D
Ooh, are we  also tamed?
Bm F#m E D Bm (3x, bass solo) a couple measures of A, then bridge: F F#13* (7x) *or just use F# or F#7 if you want, but I hear that D# note in one of the electrics F into D (this starts the second track) -------------- hold on D until the lyrics start (it ain't long)
(D)           G         D
Who stole the life from you?

           G
Who turned you so against you?

            C
Who was the thief, who shaved your teeth

  Bm      Am            D
Accepting just virtue?

           G     D
And did he act alone?

         G        D
Were any more complicit?

              C
When he would sing, and offer the ring

     Bm               Am
What older voice said, "kiss it"?
D D G (2x) D F#7 G#m F# (3x) G#m G Am G D
           G         D
Fire can't doubt its heat

            G         D
Water can't doubt its power

            C
You're not adrift
You're not a gift
    Bm               Am      D
You know you're not a flower
