CAPO ON 3RD FRET Intro: D MajorD D/AD/A D/F#D/F# D MajorD G+G A augmentedA A/EA/E (If you pluck the bottom note of each chord and then the top three strings, it sounds like how Frank plays the intro) D MajorD D/AD/A D/F#D/F# D MajorD Well a teacher of mine once told me that life was just a list of G+G A augmentedA A/EA/E disappointments and defeats and you could only do your best, D MajorD D/AD/A D/F#D/F# And I said "Well, that's a fucking cop-out, you're just washed up and you're D MajorD G+G A augmentedA tired, and when I get to your age, well, I won't be such a coward" E minorEm G+G B minorBm But these days I sit at home, known to shout at my TV and Punk Rock didn't A augmentedA live up to what I hoped that it could be E minorEm G+G And all the things that I believed with all my heart when I was young are B minorBm A augmentedA just coasters for beers and clean surfaces for drugs G+G E minorEm G+G A augmentedA D MajorD And I packed all my pamphlets with my bibles at the back of the shelf D/AD/A D/F#D/F# D MajorD G+G A augmentedA A/EA/E D MajorD Well it was bad enough the feeling, and the first time it hit, when you G+G A augmentedA A/EA/E realised your parents had let the world all go to shit D MajorD D/AD/A D/F#D/F# D MajorD And that the values and ideals for which many had fought and died had been G+G A augmentedA A/EA/E killed off in the committees and left to die by the wayside. E minorEm G+G B minorBm But it was worse when we turned to the kids on the left and got let down A augmentedA again by some poor excuse for protest E minorEm G+G B minorBm Yeah by idiot fucking hippies in 50 different factions, who are locked A augmentedA inside some kind of 60's battle re-enactment G+G E minorEm G+G A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA And I hung-up my banner in disgust and I head for the door D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm G+G Oh but once we were young, and we were crass enough to care E minorEm A augmentedA E minorEm A augmentedA But I guess you live and learn, we won't make that mistake again, no D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm G+G Oh but surely just for one day, we could fight and we could win E minorEm A augmentedA E minorEm A augmentedA And if only for a little while, we could insist on the impossible B minorBm A augmentedA Well we've been a good few hours drinking, so I'm going to say what everyone's thinking G+G D MajorD E minorEm A augmentedA If we're stuck on this ship and it's sinking, then we might as well have a D MajorD parade B minorBm A augmentedA Cos if it's still going to hurt in the morning and a better plan's yet to get forming G+G D MajorD E minorEm A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA Then where's the harm spending an evening, in manning the old barricades D MajorD G+G A augmentedA So come on old friends to the streets let's be 1905 but not 1917 D MajorD G+G Let's be heroes, let's be martyrs, let's be radical thinkers who never have A augmentedA to test drive the least of their dreams. E minorEm G+G B minorBm Let's divide up the world into the damned and safe and then ride to the A augmentedA valleys like the old life brigade E minorEm G+G B minorBm And straighten our backs and we won't be afraid and they'll celebrate our A augmentedA deaths with a national parade D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm G+G So come on let's be young, let's be crass enough to care E minorEm A augmentedA E minorEm A augmentedA Let's refuse to live and learn, let's make all our mistakes again yes D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm G+G And then darling, just for one day, we can fight and we can win E minorEm A augmentedA E minorEm A augmentedA And if only for a little while, we could insist on the impossible D MajorD G+G Leave the mourning the to the morning, yes pain can be killed with aspirin A augmentedA tablets and vitamin pills. D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD But memories of hope, and glorious defeat are a little bit harder to beat
