Chords

As recorded by Jesse Welles (2025 release) [Verse 1]
         C           F
Will all promises be kept

        G             Am
Will we all be better off

          F               C
I get the notion we won't know

          G              C
Until the ketamine wears off

                      F
I looked up and to my left

            G         Am
And saw the canopy of greed

         F            C
I do not need to be unburdened

       G               C
I just need someone to lead
[Pre-Chorus]
          Am              C             G             Am
And if it looks a bit familiar, like it did the other time

       G        F               C
They'd see that history don't repeat itself

    G            C
No, history just rhymes
[Chorus]
            F                 C
The river's deep, the river's wide

          G
And there ain't no way across it

                          Am
'Cept to swim or sink and die

           F                 C
The way is long, the path is mean

        G
I ain't got none of my friends left

                         Am
They all vanished in the stream

        F              C
I ain't got none of my friends left

         G               C
They all vanished in the stream
[Verse 2]
         C                  F
When the black hat with his chainsaw

         G              Am
Picked a child from his litter

     F              C
To remind us he's a man

       G              C
I'll admit I did feel bitter

                      F
And I wondered if the jester knew

     G              C
That he's in on the joke

     G           Am                C
Some folks don't ask what's in the wagon

          G                 C
They just grin and bear the yoke
[Pre-Chorus]
          Am              C            G             Am
And if it looks a bit familiar like it did the other time

       G        F               C
They'd see that history don't repeat itself

    G            C
No, history just rhymes
[Chorus]
            F                 C
The river's deep, the river's wide

          G
And there ain't no way across it

                          Am
'Cept to swim or sink and die

           F                 C
The way is long, the path is mean

        G
I ain't got none of my friends left

                         Am
They all vanished in the stream

        F              C
I ain't got none of my friends left

         G               C
They all vanished in the stream
[Verse 3]
          C             F
When they pave over the bodies

      G             Am
And democratize the stones

       F                C           G             Am
I will leave the yelp review in the valley of the bones

         C                 F
When the thirsty get their blood

            G                Am
And all the people's souls departed

G        F              C              G             C
They can raise the holy swollen Golden Temple of the arches

G              C
Onward history marches
[Pre-Chorus]
          Am            C              G             Am
And if it looks a bit familiar like it did the other time

       G        F               C
They'd see that history don't repeat itself

    G            Am
No, history just rhymes

    F               C
Oh, history don't repeat itself

    G            C
No, history just rhymes
[Out-Chorus]
            F                 C
The river's deep, the river's wide

          G
And there ain't no way across it

                          Am
'Cept to swim or sink and die

           F                 C
The way is long, the path is mean

        G
I ain't got none of my friends left

                         Am
They all vanished in the stream

        F              C
I ain't got none of my friends left

         G               C
They all vanished in the stream
