Mount Tam Anima Urbis chords by Leslie Fish

Verse :
Am   E  Am  G      C        G    Am
Here I sit on the head of Mount Tam.
  Dm       F          C   G
Might as well be in Vietnam.
      F         Em  E  Am
The battle is coming soon.
       F                     Am
The stars are hid, but the sky is gray
           G             Em          Am       G
With the lights of the cities that ring the Bay
          Am         D  E    Am     G
In the shape of a crescent moon.  So -- (Cho)

Chorus:
Am   E   Am C    G    Am
If there be anything here
      F     Dm          Am          C         G
That cometh not in the name of the Powers of Light
Am G Am Em       Am          C         G         Am
Then     in the name of the Powers of Light, let it be gone!



Verse :
Am   E  Am  G      C     G    Am
Cities live. The stones have soul
  Dm            F          C      G
As long as one dweller stands up whole
      F         Em   E      Am
And here are three million lives
       F                     Am
Their spirits run through the nerves of wire
           G             Em         Am       G
Through the concrete bones and the furnace-fire --
 Am         D     E    Am
The body of stone survives



Verse :
Am   E  Am  G      C      G      Am
Warnings groan that the deep-plate crack
  Dm            F          C             G
Will shake one burden from Earth's green back --
   F         Em   E      Am
Tonight one of us goes down
     F                             Am
So here we fight with our wizards' force
  G             Em         Am       G
To shift the Fault on its other course
Am G Am Em  Am   C         G
And swallow the Southern crown



Verse :
Am   E  Am  G      C      G      Am
We who feel the currents of power
Dm            F      C         G
Have no rest in the darkening hour
   F         Em   E      Am
Of a war that we did not choose
    F                         Am
But if one city must fall to brine
  G             Em      Am       G
I swear that city shall not be mine
Am G Am  Am     C   G
I do not intend to lose



Verse :
Am   E  Am  G      C      G      Am
So aim the bolt, and raise the shield --
Dm            F              C         G
The choice is cruel, but we dare not yield
      F           Em   E   Am
When life is the prize of war
    F                       Am
San Andreas, we curse your name
  G                 Em           Am       G
As we strike your Fault with our silent flame
Am G Am       Em  Am    C     G
And deflect and deflect once more!

Chorus:
Am   E   Am C    G    Am
If there be anything here
      F     Dm          Am          C         G
That cometh not in the name of the Powers of Light
Am G Am    Em    Am               C         G         Am
Then in the name of the Powers of Light, let it be gone!
Am
Let it be gone!
Am
Let it be gone!
