Mischief Brew – Liberty Unmasked (Guitar)

G                                C
 Come see pioneers starving on trout

         Em
Meet the drunkards of spirit,

    D         G
of soil, of stout

    G
But old silent fires

                    C
shall someday bathe all

  Em                   D
A cider ferments in us all

G
 Hear the prophets

                      C
whose days have gone dim

        Em
And for all royal silver,

      D              G
she still won’t wed him

          G 
Hear the bastards,

                   C
yes among us, they go 

Em
All flaunting freedoms

     D        G
so scarcely known

G       D  G      C
 How I see, merrily,

G        D          C
 The unmasking of liberty

G        D    G      C
 As she bows to misery,

G
 But her open hands,

C Em             D
    The joy and dance

G
 And this pattern

                   C
across our great quilt,

Em              D
  for ages to span

G                                C
 You’re a traveller packing for years

Em                  D          G
Armour of rage in a shower of tears

         G 
And you never could see

                        C
that you were wild and loose

       Em
‘Til a baby blue soldier

    D
forbid you to choose

              G
Now you cry, “Off with these systems

                    C
And off with these laws!

Em
Bring on the seasons,

    D
tradition, and song!

     G
The patterns and cycles!

                C
We, hitchers of stars,

       Em
shall reel in adventure

     D
To shatter these boards

                   G     C  Em  D
To march from these wars

G       D  G      C
 How I see, merrily,

G        D          C
 The unmasking of liberty

G        D    G      C
 As she bows to misery,

G
 But her open hands,

C Em             D
    The joy and dance

G
 And this pattern

                   C
across our great quilt,

Em              D
  for ages to span

G                C
 But her open hands,

Em             D
  the joy and dance

G
 And this pattern

                   C
across our great quilt

Em              D
  For ages to span
