Under the storm - The la Fontaines
N.C. means to clapp hands

Chorus:
N.C.
Its complicated, up to my knees in it
N.C.
And I pray please kill it, but it won’t go
N.C.
So frustrated, I fell asleep dreaming
N.C.                                          Am
Just as the clouds clear, I wake up under the storm
F       G#     Am    F     G#    G#m

Verse 1:
           A
It’s blood red, the streets run with no cause
A
Quick dash for quick cash, no pause
A
Round here, find a little rope
E                                           A
Throw it in the sky, you can catch a little hope
A
And that’s real in effect
A
Because that money seems to make a man, feel some respect
A
So tell me who’s spreading the butter?
            F                                                A
Because I’m trying to make bread, but I’m stuck in the gutter
A
But they say its just a matter of time
A
Every Friday morning, about a quarter to nine
A
When I’m, standing in line, bide my time
    E
For that, one job, that their claiming is mine
    A
And if it don’t come, then I’ll say that its fine
D                          A
Knowing that it’s straight back, to just writing this rhyme
A
No change in my pocket, not a penny or dime
       F
Just a fucked up economy, declining with time

Chorus:
    A    N.C
Its complicated, up to my knees in it
N.C
And I pray please kill it, but it won’t go
A        N.C
So frustrated, I fell asleep dreaming
N.C                                           Am
Just as the clouds clear, I wake up under the storm
F      G#   Am    A    A    F   G#

Verse 2:
   A
We built this from nothing, tell me I’m wrong
A
You get showered with it, under the storm
A
We fight for this war, understand the cause
  E
Rewrite the whole chapter, and change the laws
           A
So let the battle proceed, the greed we can’t stand
A
Fuck your plan, I’m a one man band
A
I don’t need shit, not one mans hand
   F
If life is a beach, I’ll dance in the sand
A
Lets make it clear, believe that I can man
A
Any beat or verse, I will rip it while I handstand
A
Chain me up, or shackle and beat
        E
I don’t fall with the weak, I march on my feet
           A
Never tell tall tails, when I’m screaming on a beat
A
So I’m aiming for the charts, but they feel it in the street
A                                     D
Same reason that they see me and they beep
                            F
When there cruzin’ in their jeep or there running in their fleet

Chorus:
    A    N.C
Its complicated, up to my knees in it
N.C
And I pray please kill it, but it won’t go
A        N.C
So frustrated, I fell asleep dreaming
N.C                                           A
Just as the clouds clear, I wake up under the storm
F     G#      A     F   A   D    E   A    G   D   F   E  D      E

Verse 3:
A                          G
We were bred for this war, shackled and beat
            D          F
Watched the weak fall, we arose to our feet
                E      D
Entertained the crowd, dominated the stage
             C                 E
In truth, we ain’t nothing but puppets in a cage
A             G
Dignity gone, self respect lost
F#m                            F
Warned before, that this would come at a cost
           E                   D
When every fight dawns, and it could be your last
     C                      G#m       A
A suspect reflection, draws over your past
                  Am
Battle commences, bombard the toms
F#m                   F
Gun shot sounds, play rhythm to the songs
E                 D
Warriors advance, tread new ground
                 E
We mast flags on land we found
      A          G
Under siege, the Calvary pulls near
Dm                  F
Militant force is replaced by fear
Em             D
Men turn boys, as they hound us down
    C                 Am
But we stand tall, to guard our crown

Outro:
          G      F#m      F
Its complicated, up to my knees in it
E          D               C            G#
And I pray please kill it, but it won’t go
A   Am  G        F#m   F
So frustrated, I fell asleep dreaming
E           D               C         G#       A
Just as the clouds clear, I wake up under the storm
A
