Foy Vance – Republic Of Eden (Guitar)

G
Some people say they know it,

F
For others it's belief

G                                     F
Say they'd rather know than know it's make—believe

G
For those that have outgrown it,

F
Those that up and leave

G                                      F
Know you can't control what's clearly mystery

          C
Oh, I've longed to start the fire

   D
So while I am still breathing

         G                      C
There is a revolution in the Republic of Eden

G
Consider the lion

F
Lying on the plane

G                                 F
Watch his eyes as he surveys the pride and wildebeest remains

G
Though he may not show

F
He's the king of his domain

G                                     F
And woe betide the lion that tries to challenge his reign

        C
Well he owes and he owns nothing

     D
He's standing still, now breathing

       G                              C
In his eyes, the revolution in the Republic of Eden

G
And those exploring planets

F
Report no signs of God

G                                 F
By the whirling firmament out the window of the fuselage

G
And this space between us,

F
Yet there's no "us" or "them"

G                                      F
Whether we were born of a bang or the aftermath of requiem

     C
Oh, I'm a raging fire

    D
I'm standing still, now breathing

       G                          C
Yes I am the revolution in the Republic of Eden

   C
We owe and we own nothing

      D
We're standing still, now breathing

       G                             C
Yes we are the revolution in the Republic of Eden
