The Barricade chords by The Lowest Of The Low

Guitar chords with lyrics

Key: G

Verse 1:

G                      C             G
When all the roads you see from your door
G      C     G      C     G
Lead one way in the other way
G                      C             G
And all the waves that crash on your shore
 C             G          C           G
Carry sailor’s bones from shipwrecked days
Em                      C          G
When all those vicious, handcuffed words
C          G         D
Constrict, contract, constrain
G                    C       G
I’ll meet you on the barricade
C           D       G
In the cool defiant rain
Verse 2:

G                          C               G
When you and your brothers held onto your mothers
C             G         D
Your story an unwritten page
G                                C                G
Well they read you the rules and they sent you to schoo
C                    G            D
But she paid for the bars on your cage
Em                  C     G
You played a poison violin
C     G          D
In a symphony of rage
G                             C        G
Now it’s time you traded that fucker in
C                  D       G
For a place on the barricade

Chorus:

Em   C
In or out
Em       C
Shrug or shout
G                      C                G
The second’s the jury, the minute’s the judge
C                  D           G
In the hour of the barricade

Verse 3:

G                   C           G
Your green eyes and your battle cries
C                G       D
Are the sweetest warning served
G                     C              G
But the only ring can dismantle this thing
C                 G     D
Is the sound of a siren heard
Em                 C     G           C           G        D
By the children of apostasy who will rescue this wretched world
G                           C           G
And join their hands like a barricade
C                D            G
Like an insolent fist full of pearls

Chorus:

Em      C
Stay or go
Em     C
Now or no
G                            C            G
The week is the hangman, the month is the rope
C                  D           G
In the year of the barricade

Verse 4:

G                           C                    G
Some vote with their heads, some vote with their hearts
C                  G            D
Some vote with the end of their dicks
G                           C                      G
You can vote with a ballot, you can vote with your wallet
C                 G            D
But it’s always a vote for the pricks
Em                 C        G
So let me tell you this for free
C       G             D
My next vote’s with a brick
G                             C       G
Ah, from somewhere behind the barricade
C                       D      G
Beyond the lies and the rhetoric

Outro:

Em                  C       G
If I see you on the barricade
C               G          D
I’ll be sure to shake your hand
G                            C       G
And I’ll help you build your barricade
C                    D            G
On the grave of this sleepwalking land
