Once We Were Anarchists Frank Turner
Frank Turner - Once We Were Anarchists
The other version was inaccurate and lazy, so I worked it out myself.
There may be 7ths/add9s/sus chords in there, but just play around with it until you have
how you want, or listen really carefully.
Demonstrations got [G]boring,
Well it was o[C]bvious that the government was ignoring us
It's [Em]hard to drag yourself through empty streets
On an e[F]mpty stomach with no sleep
The shortcomings got c[G]learer
As the [C]price we paid got dearer and dearer
It's su[Em]pposed to be a case of give and take
Well I was [F]feeling the give and making the mistake
And I've [Am]heard it said the [F]unexamined l[G]ife,
[Am]Isn't much worth l[F]iving, and I'm sure they're r[G]ight
But it's h[Am]ard to keep on f[F]ighting the good f[G]ight
When [Am]no one else seems [F]bothered
Yeah, when [D]no one's on your side
Because I'm [C]young enough to be a[D]ll p**sed off
But I'm [G]old enough to be j[C]aded
I'm a[C]t the age where I w[D]ant things to change
But with [Bm]age my hopes have [C]faded
I'm y[C]oung and bored of being yo[D]ung and bored
If I was [Bm]old I could say I've seen it [Em]all be[D]fore
In sho[C]rt; I'm ti[D]red of giving a s[G]h*t
I've got friends who are b[G]ankers
And it's an e[C]asy rhyme to call them wankers
But I m[Em]ust say I envy the way that they live
And it's a[F]ll; it's all take and no give
Well I'm playing the lone r[G]anger
[C]Riding to the rescue of 6 billion strangers
[Em]Armed with only an original song
And a s[F]ense that something's wrong
And I [C]must admit that I'm [G/B]tired of saying [Am]no, all the t[G]ime
Well I must a[C]dmit that [G/B]I don't really k[F]now what would be r[G]ight
And if p[C]olitics, is h[B]elping other people
Then my p[Em]olitical c[D]areer is pretty f[C]**ked
Because the t[C]ruth is I don't like p[D]eople all that m[G]uch
The times they aren't a-c[G]hanging
Yeah En[C]gland's still sh*t, and it's still raining
And ev[Em]erybody's jaded and tired and bored
And n[F]o one lifts a finger, because
It's just not in our cu[G]lture
Our c[C]ulture is carrion and we're all vultures
And [Em]no one seems bothered by the state of play
It s[F]eems that the stench is with us to stay
So I [Am]had a go, I t[F]ried examining l[G]ife
It w[Am]asn't much worth l[F]iving
I guess they're r[G]ight
And I'm t[Am]ired of fighting the f[F]ight that's not my f[G]ight
[Am]So is every[F]body else, we're a[D]ll on the same side.
Because I'm [C]young enough to be [D]all p**sed off
But I'm [G]old enough to be j[C]aded
I'm [C]at the age where I w[D]ant things to change
But with [Bm]age my hopes have f[C]aded
I'm y[C]oung and bored of being [D]young and bored
If I was [Bm]old I could say I've seen it [Em]all b[D]efore
In [C]short; I'm t[D]ired
And in s[C]hort; I'm probably f[D]ired
If the r[C]evolution doesn't w[D]ant me, I don't give a [G]sh*t.
