Beheaded Acoustic chords by Demon Hunter

Chords with lyrics

it would be nice for some people to be able to hear the same lyrics
presented differently, so I worked up an acoustic version. I'll be posting
my own recording of it on my profile if you want to actually hear how I
play and sing it. I think my guitar's tuned down a half step, as well, just
for reference.

Here are some barred chords I reduced to give it a darker, more open sound
between verses and on the bridge.

Verse:
    E minorEm
In the never-ending circle where the powerless meet
There grows a struggle from the burden of sustaining defeat
    C majorC
In the face of every coward lies the blindest of hate
       A minorAm                      E minorEm Gbar F#bar
And in their eyes: a sharpened image of the damage they ma-ade
      E minorEm
You look at me to bear the burden of the suffering past
It wasn't me behind the veil of a heartless mask
        C majorC
And where were you the day that everybody cursed your name?
       A minorAm                       E minorEm  Gbar
You were the distant voice of pride that never stood the sha-ame

Prechorus:
   E minorEm                   G+G
The weak of the mind will use fist, and the fist of the frail will bring gun
   A minorAm                  C majorC
The loudest of guns provoke bombs, and in wrath he will chase 'til its done

Chorus:
         E minorEm  A minorAm   E minorEm    A minorAm     E minorEm  A minorAm   E minorEm  A minorAm E minorEm  Gbar F#bar
Your history is dead wrong. Dead. Philosophy is dead wrong. Dead. Wro-ong.

Verse:
      E minorEm
Within the mind of modern culture there's an idle cog
It is the section of humanity that never forgot
      C majorC
And in the midst of moving forward we have given the right
      A minorAm                     E minorEm  Gbar F#bar
To let the wolves attack the sheep and bury guilt inside
      E minorEm
I won't forget the twisted picture of the filth that we were
Or disregard the fading voices of the people we hurt
      C majorC
But I was never pulling triggers or degrading your face
       A minorAm                       E minorEm  Gbar
Don't look at me to give the reason for the pain that you tra-ace

Prechorus:
   E minorEm                   G+G
The weak of the mind will use fist, and the fist of the frail will bring gun
   A minorAm                  C majorC
The loudest of guns provoke bombs, and in wrath he will chase 'til its done

Chorus:
         E minorEm  A minorAm   E minorEm    A minorAm     E minorEm  A minorAm   E minorEm  A minorAm
Your history is dead wrong. Dead. Philosophy is dead wrong. Dead. Wrong.
         E minorEm  A minorAm   E minorEm    A minorAm     E minorEm  A minorAm   E minorEm  A minorAm
Your history is dead wrong. Dead. Philosophy is dead wrong. Dead. Wro-ong.

Dead wrong. Dead. Wrong. Dead. Dead wrong. Dead. Wro-ong.
