Vultures Of Culture chords by Nahko Bear

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 G# A

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


[BRIDGE+BREAKDOWN]


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

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

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

make the movement move

[CHORUS]
  E  G#        A
it all starts to make sense
  E  G#        A
it all starts to make sense
  E  G#        A
it all starts to make sense
  E  G#        A   E
it all starts to make sense
