Am F G Em x2
Verse 1:
Am F G Em Five in the morning an hour before dawn, they wake her up in her bed Am F G G Standing over her body, and holding a gun to her head Am F She says "why have you come, oh and what have I done" G Em They'll tell her "it's come to defeat" Am F G G Then they kick through her paintings, and drag her out into the street
Chorus 1:
Am F G G Oh my love, don't take any-more Am F G G Oh my love, break down the door
Am F G Em
Verse 2:
Am F By day they take her, and interiogate her G Em and tell her "she's crude and insane" Am F G G but by night the same keepers, will steal in and rape her aain Am F She can't see who they are, through the thick black bars G Em That cast shadows over her eyes Am F G G And if she resists, they'll beat hear with fists til she cries
Chorus 2:
Am F G G Oh my love, don't take any-more Am F G G Oh my love, break down the door Am F G G Oh my love, there's a sun in the east Am F G Em Its your release
Am F G Em x5
Verse 3:
Am F So you the dictator, whose choosen to hate her G Em tellin' ya to listen to me Am F There are others who'll fight for the right G G to be tender and free Am F If she dies at your hands, just you understand G Em I've a knife that is sharp and clean Am F And i'll paint in your blood, til it turns to a flood G G Let her be
Chorus 3:
Am F G G Oh my love, don't take any-more Am F G G Oh my love, break down the door Am F G G Oh my love, there's a sun in the east Am It's your release
