Cease Fire chords by Chadwick Stokes

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

D MajorD
So rested he by the tumtum tree

G+G
Is that the prosecutor or the defence attorney?

A augmentedA
Said he "The system is working" and we had to agree,

D MajorD          A augmentedA
It's working all too well


D MajorD
At last he got up and readied himself to leave

G+G
And we all shook our heads in shared disbelief

A augmentedA                     D MajorD
Coz we swore that this would never happen again

Chorus:

        G+G
We got to cease fire

        D MajorD
We got to cease fire

        A augmentedA
We got to cease fire

                  D MajorD
before we all just shoot ourselves away


Verse 2:

D MajorD
If it were a different town, if it was the other way around

G+G
If it was a white boy that lay still on the ground

A augmentedA                            D MajorD
Would there be any difference? Would there be a trial then?

D MajorD
Until the fire hose is beaten back by the rain

G+G
Until all our colour is more or less the same

A augmentedA                             D MajorD
Until we can't stand to see another father by his child's grave


Chorus:

        G+G
We got to cease fire

        D MajorD
We got to cease fire

        A augmentedA
Got to cease fire

                  D MajorD
before we all just shoot ourselves away


       G+G
Yeah can we cease fire?

        D MajorD
We got to cease fire

       A augmentedA
Can we cease fire?

                  D MajorD
before we all just shoot ourselves away


G+G
Oooooooo

B minorBm
Oooooooo

A augmentedA
Oooooooo

D MajorD
Ooh


       G+G
Can we cease fire?

        D MajorD
We got to cease fire

       A augmentedA
Can we cease fire?

                  D MajorD
before we all just shoot ourselves away


       G+G
Can we cease fire?

        B minorBm
We got to cease fire

       A augmentedA
Can we cease fire?

                  D MajorD
before we all just shoot ourselves away
