Brand new song, they've played it live but now the final version is here. Some words are off here and there
and some plain missing cause I learned them by ear. If you have corrections in them let me
know. Enjoy!
I play E and Emaj7, respectively, as:
e|-------| A|-9---9-| D|-9---8-| G|-9---9-| B|-7---7-| E|-------|
[Intro/Verse]
E - Emaj7 x2 G#m - A - C#m - D - B
[Verse 1]
E Emaj7 E Emaj7 G#m Here's a story about the rules of death or glory to be learned by heart by all children or
men.
A C#m D It's the hour of the morning on the day after the dawning when the sun they said
would never set,
B it finally set again. E Emaj7 E Emaj7 G#m Was it Cromwell or Orwell who first lead you to the stairwell which leads only forever to
kingdoms to come?
A C#m Rushed alone by guiding hands, whispers of the promised land D B They wished you luck and handed you a gun
[Chorus]
C E Life could be so handsome C E Life could be so gay C E We're going nowhere D B But nowhere, nowhere is on our way
[Verse 2]
E Emaj7 E Emaj7 In the pub that night racking out the lines of shite G#m Putting to right all of the world's great wrongs A C#m D Yes we thought that they were brothers then they half-murdered each other, then they did a B karaoke turn and murdered our best song E Emaj7 E Emaj7 G#m Told the governor's wife about the last night of his life, she turned away in tears called
you a liar
A C#m Where are all your dreams now? The battalions, once so proud, D B Lost in some old song and hanging on the old barbed-wire
[Chorus]
C E Well life could be so handsome C E It's all going to be okay C E We're going nowhere D B But nowhere, nowhere is on our way
[Instrumental]
E - C - E - C - E - C - D - B
[Verse 3]
E Emaj7 E Emaj7 Nowhere in the institutions, did they teach that revolution? G#m Something that could ever come to pass A C#m All we tried once before was the king's head on the floor D B And we got booted out the boozer cause someone smashed the glass
[Chorus]
C E Life could be so handsome C E Life could be okay C E We're going nowhere D B But nowhere, nowhere is on our way C E Life could be so handsome C E It's all gonna be okay C E We're going nowhere D B But nowhere, nowhere is on our way
