Silver shone the rooftops, I heard the words 'you will'
  E7E7               A augmentedA    B7sus4B7sus4   E MajorE
And realized that in your eyes, the force of love could kill
 Amaj7Amaj7      Bm7Bm7   C#m7C#m7      F7F7
So go and get your wages, get what you deserve
   E7E7          Amaj7Amaj7  B minorBm    A augmentedA           Amaj7Amaj7
When hope held out of it's hands today, you laughed and turned and fled

And all that's left to warm your breast's the wine we stole tonight
Amaj7Amaj7             C#m7C#m7
Bottle merchants both of us, overdosed on keats,
  E7E7          Amaj7Amaj7  B minorBm       A augmentedA        Amaj7Amaj7
we smashed them all and watched them fall like magic in the streets

Standing in our new boots, we've lost the urge to hide
  F#7F#7              BB    C#7sus4C#7sus4  F#F#
We left it with the souvenirs that forced us to decide
BB          C#m7C#m7    D#m7D#m7     Dm7Dm7
How we'd storm the palace, meet me at the gates

There's plenty bread and water here for anyone who waits

I'm here and I'm hungry and I hope I can stay
E MajorE
But you can't remember where you squandered your hope
  C#7C#7
A augmentedA fistful of dollars and a fistful of dope
   E MajorE
With your hands in your hair and your hair in your face
    C#7C#7
You'd better summon your soul because we're leaving this place
  EMaj7Emaj7          C#7C#7
With a red, red flag and a red red flag
