The Chariot - The Cat Empire Tabbed by: fishy_sluggish Email: [email protected] [Verse 1]
Em                        G
This is a song that came upon me one night 

          Am
When the news it had been telling me 

       C                D
About one more war and one more fight

      Em 
And 'aeh' I sighed but then

     G
I thought about my friends

         Am
Then I wrote this declaration

         C              D
Just in case the world end
[Verse 2] Our guns
Em             G
 We shot them in the things we said

        Am
Ah we didn't need no bullets 

         C            D
Cos we rely on some words instead 

Em
Kill someone in argument

G
Outwit them with our brains 

          Am
And we'd kill ourselves laughing

         C                D
At the funny things we'd say 
[Verse 3] And bombs
Em              G
  We had them saved for special times

          Am
When the crew would call a shakedown 

     C            D
We break down a party landmine 

Em
Women that so sexy 

        G
They explode us with their looks 

         Am
Ah we blowing up some speakers 

          C              D        
Jumping round till the ground shook 
[Verse 4] And missiles
Em                   G
   They were the roadtrips that we launched

       Am
T-t-tripping across this island 

            C              D
Starting missions at the break of dawn

 Em
Yawn and smile say 

        G
What direction shall we take? 

Am
Somewhere where it warm and wet 

C                        D
This be the route we'd always take and 
[Chorus]
Am                      Em
  Our weapons were our instruments 

G           D          C
Made from timber and steel 

              Am
We never yielded to conformity 

      Em
But stood like kings 

        G
In a chariot that's riding on a 

   D
Record wheel

[Verse 5]
           Em
And our airforce flying 

            G
When the frisbee in the sky 

         Am
Have a session while we're smoking

             C           D
Now we're feeling extra high 

          Em 
And we'd sneak into a carpark

            G
With the skaties on our back 

            Am
And we're flying down the levels howling 

         C                D
On the attack now on the attack
[Verse 6] And battles
Em                   G
  They happened in these dancehalls 

           Am
See we'd rather fight with music

    C               D
Choosing one the rhythm war

Em
Battle at these shakedowns 

         G
And we battle at these gigs 

        Am
We do battle in our bedrooms 

            C                D
Made some sweet love to the beat 
[Bridge]
           Em
Then our allies grew 

     G
Wherever we would roam 

        Am 
See whenever we're together 

        C             D
Any stranger feel at home 

      Em
In a way we are an army 

          G
But this army not destruct 

      Am
No instead we're doing simple things

       C             D
Good loving find it run amuck 
[Verse 7]
Em
This be a declaration 

   G
Written about my friends

        Am
It's engraved into this song 

         C               D
So they know I'm not forgetting them 

      Em
See maybe if the world contained

 G
More people like these 

          Am
Then the news would not be telling me

       C                   D
About all that warfare endlessly and
[Chorus]
Am                      Em
  Our weapons were our instruments 

G           D          C
Made from timber and steel 

              Am
We never yielded to conformity 

      Em          
But stood like kings
