Vultures Of Culture - Nahko Bear

This representation of the song is based off the first song of the Acoustic Guitar Sessions video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qceQTn6qD8w&nohtml5=False

It is all the same chords as the studio version with only some varying lyrics.
I recommend watching the video or finding the song in order to get the rhythm of the strumming down.

Main chord progression that repeats through whole song:

E MajorE G#G# A augmentedA

[CHORUS]
  E MajorE  G#G#        A augmentedA
it all starts to make sense
  E MajorE  G#G#        A augmentedA
it all starts to make sense
        E MajorE        G#G#       A augmentedA
with all these omens we've been calling it the end
  E MajorE  G#G#        A augmentedA
it all starts to make sense

[VERSE]
    E MajorE
all my thoughts
G#G#
and particularly my prayers
   A augmentedA
have not forgotten the indigenous
    E MajorE        G#G#           A augmentedA
for the western man has been working so hard against us
     E MajorE         G#G#                  A augmentedA
with his western medicine and his land management and his fences uhuh
    E MajorE            G#G#            A augmentedA
or the way he protects and the way he preserves and the way he neglects the people who came first
       E MajorE        G#G#       A augmentedA
you know the same ones that he massacred

[CHORUS]
  E MajorE  G#G#        A augmentedA
it all starts to make sense
       E MajorE         G#G#         A augmentedA
where we're going where we're at and where we've been
  E MajorE  G#G#        A augmentedA
it all starts to make sense

[VERSE]
      E MajorE
well creator
     G#G#
the behavior
    A augmentedA                     E MajorE
of the collective youth definitely seems to be in favor
    G#G#       A augmentedA
of the western mans invasion
         E MajorE
I see em pumping fear like an IV
G#G#
spreading like a disease
  A augmentedA
and all the while building the crudest army
  E MajorE             G#G#
of god-fearing youth with no knowledge of the truth
     A augmentedA
and their selfishness is so ugly

[CHORUS]
    E MajorE  G#G#        A augmentedA
and it all starts to make sense
E MajorE             G#G#         A augmentedA
who we gotta talk to if we wanna survive this mess(talk to your children please)
  E MajorE  G#G#        A augmentedA
it all starts to make sense

[VERSE]
E MajorE         G#G#
itty-bitty economy based on geography
A augmentedA
fueled by spectators and their money
    E MajorE           G#G#      A augmentedA
and their need for things that will not last
         E MajorE         G#G#        A augmentedA
so go on build a hotel a gift shop in the wilderness
       E MajorE         G#G#
making a profit capitalizin' on it
  A augmentedA
and all the while trampling on everything that is sacred

[CHORUS]
    E MajorE  G#G#        A augmentedA
and it all starts to make sense
     E MajorE       G#G#              A augmentedA
why the western man destroys thing he doesn't understand
  E MajorE  G#G#        A augmentedA
it all starts to make sense
      E MajorE             G#G#       A augmentedA
all these patterns and wasteful destructive practices

[BRIDGE+BREAKDOWN]


[VERSE]
       E MajorE           G#G#
living like a third world country inside this country
A augmentedA
fuck the government that puts the people in poverty
    E MajorE          G#G#
and it bothers me when the people are going hungry
  A augmentedA
and corporate comanpnies have got their cupboards full of groceries
    E MajorE            G#G#
it's disgusting how you can do nothing
   A augmentedA
and complain about the situation in which you're living

[CHORUS]
  E MajorE  G#G#        A augmentedA
it all starts to make sense
           E MajorE         G#G#         A augmentedA
they're vultures of culture and they're picking it all my friends
  E MajorE  G#G#        A augmentedA
it all starts to make sense
   E MajorE      G#G#   A augmentedA
oh indigenous Empowerment

[VERSE]
    E MajorE           G#G#
well I dedicate my life to the people who need the light
     A augmentedA
help them rise above the scam on the land and their lives
E MajorE              G#G#
cutting like a knife all the lies by the slice
A augmentedA
independant of this democracy is really worth it
   E MajorE            G#G#
my request is reasonable, a tribe undefeatable
A augmentedA
ambition to keep movin' towards solutions that are feasible
     E MajorE
it's unbelieveable
    G#G#
all the slow moving people
      A augmentedA
they could care less just as long as they are comfortable
      E MajorE                 G#G#
it's unforgivable because the conditions are now critical
A augmentedA
whether or not you're ready we are now approaching the pinnacle
   E MajorE         G#G#
it's difficult to say exactly what to do
    A augmentedA
but the change begins with me and I reflect it back to you
  E MajorE        G#G#    A augmentedA
and you and you and you (come on man)
           E MajorE   G#G#   A augmentedA
make the movement move
           E MajorE   G#G#   A augmentedA
make the movement move

make the movement move

[CHORUS]
