Dar Williams - I Had No Right


CAPO: 5th Fret


INTRO: G+G


God of the poor man, this is how the day began
D MajorD               G+G     A minorAm
Eight co-defendants, I, Daniel Berrigan
    FF        C majorC        A minorAm
Oh, and only a layman?s batch of Napalm
       FF
We pulled the draft files out
  DmDm         G+G
We burned them in the parking lot
FF             C majorC          E minorEm
Better the files than the bodies of children

CHORUS:
     C majorC         A minorAm     D MajorD  G+G
I had no right, but for the love of you___
     C majorC         A minorAm     D MajorD
I had no right, but for the love of you___


G+G
Many roads led here, walked with the suffering
D MajorD                G+G  A minorAm
Tom in Guatemala, Phillip in New Orleans
      FF       C majorC        A minorAm
Oh, it?s a long road from law to justice
     FF
I went to Vietnam
 DmDm          G+G
I went for peace, they dropped their bombs
FF             C majorC         E minorEm
Right where my government knew I would be


CHORUS:
     C majorC         A minorAm     D MajorD  G+G
I had no right, but for the love of you___
     C majorC         A minorAm     D MajorD    A minorAm
I had no right, but for the love of you___


BRIDGE:
      FF       A minorAm
And all my country saw
         FF
Were priests who broke the law

G+G
First it was a question, then it was a mission
D MajorD                G+G   A minorAm
How to be American, how to be a Christian
      FF             C majorC        E minorEm
Oh, if the law is their cross and the cross is burning


CHORUS:
      C majorC        A minorAm     D MajorD  G+G
Hey hey hey hey he hey, the love of you___
      C majorC        A minorAm     D MajorD
Hey hey hey hey he hey, the love of you___


G+G
God of the just, I?ll never win a peace prize
D MajorD                G+G  A minorAm
Falling like Jesus, now let the jury rise
     FF        C majorC        A minorAm
Oh, it?s all of us versus all that paper
   FF           DmDm       G+G
They took the only way they know, who is on trial today
 FF         C majorC       E minorEm
Deliver us unto each other, I pray


CHORUS:
     C majorC         A minorAm     D MajorD  G+G
I had no right, but for the love of you___
     C majorC        A minorAm      D MajorD
And every trial I stood, I stood for you___


G+G
Eyes on the trial
8 a.m. arrival
Hands on the bible
