Here I sit on the head of Mount Tam.
 DmDm    FF     C majorC  G+G
Might as well be in Vietnam.
   FF     E minorEm E MajorE A minorAm
The battle is coming soon.
    FF           A minorAm
The stars are hid, but the sky is gray
      G+G       E minorEm     A minorAm    G+G
With the lights of the cities that ring the Bay
     A minorAm     D MajorD E MajorE  A minorAm   G+G
In the shape of a crescent moon. So -- (Cho)

Chorus:
A minorAm  E MajorE  A minorAm C majorC  G+G  A minorAm
If there be anything here
   FF   DmDm     A minorAm     C majorC     G+G
That cometh not in the name of the Powers of Light
A minorAm G+G A minorAm E minorEm    A minorAm     C majorC     G+G     A minorAm
Then   in the name of the Powers of Light, let it be gone!


Verse :
A minorAm  E MajorE A minorAm G+G   C majorC   G+G  A minorAm
Cities live. The stones have soul
 DmDm      FF     C majorC   G+G
As long as one dweller stands up whole
   FF     E minorEm  E MajorE   A minorAm
And here are three million lives
    FF           A minorAm
Their spirits run through the nerves of wire
      G+G       E minorEm     A minorAm    G+G
Through the concrete bones and the furnace-fire --
 A minorAm     D MajorD   E MajorE  A minorAm
The body of stone survives


Verse :
A minorAm  E MajorE A minorAm G+G   C majorC   G+G   A minorAm
Warnings groan that the deep-plate crack
 DmDm      FF     C majorC       G+G
Will shake one burden from Earth's green back --
  FF     E minorEm  E MajorE   A minorAm
Tonight one of us goes down
   FF               A minorAm
So here we fight with our wizards' force
 G+G       E minorEm     A minorAm    G+G
To shift the Fault on its other course
A minorAm G+G A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm  C majorC     G+G
And swallow the Southern crown

Verse :
A minorAm  E MajorE A minorAm G+G   C majorC   G+G   A minorAm
We who feel the currents of power
DmDm      FF   C majorC     G+G
Have no rest in the darkening hour
  FF     E minorEm  E MajorE   A minorAm
Of a war that we did not choose
  FF             A minorAm
But if one city must fall to brine
 G+G       E minorEm   A minorAm    G+G
I swear that city shall not be mine
A minorAm G+G A minorAm A minorAm   C majorC  G+G
I do not intend to lose


Verse :
A minorAm  E MajorE A minorAm G+G   C majorC   G+G   A minorAm
So aim the bolt, and raise the shield --
DmDm      FF       C majorC     G+G
The choice is cruel, but we dare not yield
   FF      E minorEm  E MajorE  A minorAm
When life is the prize of war
  FF            A minorAm
San Andreas, we curse your name
 G+G         E minorEm      A minorAm    G+G
As we strike your Fault with our silent flame
A minorAm G+G A minorAm    E minorEm A minorAm  C majorC   G+G
And deflect and deflect once more!

Chorus:
A minorAm  E MajorE  A minorAm C majorC  G+G  A minorAm
If there be anything here
   FF   DmDm     A minorAm     C majorC     G+G
That cometh not in the name of the Powers of Light
A minorAm G+G A minorAm  E minorEm  A minorAm        C majorC     G+G     A minorAm
Then in the name of the Powers of Light, let it be gone!
A minorAm
Let it be gone!
A minorAm
Let it be gone!
