A minorAm FF G+G E minorEm x2

Verse 1:

A minorAm         FF          G+G            E minorEm
Five in the morning an hour before dawn, they wake her up in her bed

A minorAm           FF            G+G   G+G
Standing over her body, and holding a gun to her head

A minorAm              FF
She says "why have you come, oh and what have I done"

G+G               E minorEm
They'll tell her "it's come to defeat"

A minorAm                  FF             G+G    G+G
Then they kick through her paintings, and drag her out into the street

Chorus 1:

A minorAm     FF     G+G     G+G
Oh my love, don't take any-more

A minorAm     FF       G+G   G+G
Oh my love, break down the door

A minorAm FF G+G E minorEm

Verse 2:

A minorAm          FF
By day they take her, and interiogate her

G+G               E minorEm
and tell her "she's crude and insane"

A minorAm               FF             G+G   G+G
but by night the same keepers, will steal in and rape her aain

A minorAm             FF
She can't see who they are, through the thick black bars

G+G             E minorEm
That cast shadows over her eyes

A minorAm         FF                  G+G   G+G
And if she resists, they'll beat hear with fists til she cries

Oh my love, don't take any-more

A minorAm     FF       G+G   G+G
Oh my love, break down the door

A minorAm     FF          G+G   G+G
Oh my love, there's a sun in the east

     A minorAm    FF G+G E minorEm
Its your release

So you the dictator, whose choosen to hate her

G+G            E minorEm

A minorAm                  FF
There are others who'll fight for the right

       G+G   G+G
to be tender and free

A minorAm             FF
If she dies at your hands, just you understand

G+G               E minorEm
I've a knife that is sharp and clean

A minorAm              FF
And i'll paint in your blood, til it turns to a flood

    G+G  G+G
Let her be

Oh my love, don't take any-more

A minorAm     FF       G+G   G+G
Oh my love, break down the door

A minorAm     FF          G+G   G+G
Oh my love, there's a sun in the east
