SHUT UP AND SING
BRENT COBB
INTRO:
B7B7 B7B7 B7B7 B7B7
VERSE:
B7B7 B7B7
I was told not long ago that I can`t talk the way I do
B7B7 B7B7
Singers shouldn`t share their current affairs or worldly views
E MajorE E MajorE
Sayin` somethin` off the wall just might bend folks outta shape
B7B7 B7B7
Hard workin` people spend their paychecks to show up and escape
A augmentedA E MajorE
So put a plug in what you think
E MajorE B7B7 B7B7
Man, shut up and sing
VERSE:
B7B7 B7B7
So I pulled out my guitar and I gave it a strum
B7B7 B7B7
And I thought about the way I`d lay it out there if one
E MajorE E MajorE
Lone song was all I had to make it all make half sense
B7B7 B7B7
To put some heart back on the forefront, collective consciousness
A augmentedA
Can`t be dead as my six strings
E MajorE B7B7
I wondered, would I shut up and sing?
B7B7
Then it hit me
CHORUS:
A augmentedA A augmentedA
Shut up and sing, "Lord have mеrcy on all us earthly fools"
B7B7 B7B7
There`s poison in our rhеtoric and bullets in our schools
A augmentedA A augmentedA
So I`ll sing, "What the hell is going on around here "
B7B7 B7B7
Let`s take these blinders off our eyes and pull the cotton from our ears
D MajorD A augmentedA
Until somebody says somethin` that means somethin`, I`ll
B7B7 B7B7
Shut up and sing
VERSE:
B7B7 B7B7
Sometimes sayin` nothin` says it all and then some more
B7B7 B7B7
Conjecture causes bull and fuels unnecessary wars
E MajorE E MajorE
Poets know hiding the truth somewhere between the lines somehow
B7B7 B7B7
Makes it seem worth more for those looking to find
A augmentedA E MajorE
Some answers to the troubles this life brings
B7B7 B7B7
Shut up and sing
CHORUS:
A augmentedA A augmentedA
Shut up and sing, "Lord forgive us for we know not what we do"
B7B7 B7B7
They`re shouting from the mountains down to south border towns too
A augmentedA A augmentedA
Shut up and sing, "What the hell is going on around here "
B7B7 B7B7
Let`s take these blinders off our eyes and pull the cotton from our ears
D MajorD A augmentedA
Till somebody says somethin` that means something, I`ll
B7B7 B7B7
Shut up and sing
INSTRUMENTAL:
B7B7 B7B7 B7B7 B7B7 E MajorE E MajorE B7B7 B7B7 D MajorD A augmentedA B7B7 B7B7
VERSE:
B7B7 B7B7
Songs got ways of going places folks have never been
B7B7 B7B7
From one side of the world round and round and back again
E MajorE E MajorE
Universal unity ain`t realistic, no, oh
B7B7 B7B7
But who says we can`t hum one for the hell of it all?
A augmentedA E MajorE
You never know how true a melody might ring till
B7B7 N.C.
You shut up and sing
B7B7 B7B7 B7B7 B7B7
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
