THE SONG:

A augmentedA
  Crying parents tell their children
  If you survive don't do as we did
  A augmentedA son exclaims there'll be nothing to do to
  Her daughter says she'll be dead with you
  While foreign affairs are screwing us rotten
  Line morale has hit rock bottom
  Dying embers stand forgotten
  Talks of peace were being trodden

F#7F#7
Stand or fall state your peace tonight
Stand or fall state your peace tonight

Is this the value of our existence
Should we proclaim with such persistence
Our destiny relies on conscience
Red or blue what's the difference

Stand or fall state your peace tonight
Stand or fall state your peace tonight

An empty face reflects extinction
Ugly scars divide the nation
Desecrate the population
There will be no exaltation

(This line is all F#7F#7)
Its the euro theatre
Its the euro theatre
Its the euro theatre

Stand or fall state your peace tonight
Stand or fall state your peace tonight

Its the euro theatre
Its the euro theatre
Its the euro theatre
Its the euro theatre

Listen to the song to get the rhythm right.

Note that when The Fixx plays this, the G#-A progression is played like this:

----4----0-------|
----4----5-------|
----5----6-------|
----6----7-------|
-----------------|
-----------------|

However, if you're like me, that progression has a tendency to make your hand cramp up,
I play it like this:

----4----0-------|
----4----2-------|
----5----2-------|
----6----2-------|
-----------------|
-----------------|

Also, the little lick after that is relatively easy, so during the song you can play:

----4----0-------0---0-0-2-2-----|
----4----2-----2-----------------|
----5----2-----------------------|
----6----2-----------------------|
---------------------------------|
