[E]With love, and trust, and friends, and hammers ([A]This [F#]summer!)

[E]
[E]
[E]I went to your schools, I did my detention
But the walls are so gray, I couldnâ??t pay attention
[E]I heard your gospel- it moved me to tears,
But I couldnâ??t find the hate, and I couldnâ??t find the fear
[E]I met your Savior, I knelt at his feet,
And he took my ten bucks, and he went down the street
[E]I tried to believe all the things that you said,
But my [A]friends that arenâ??t dying ar[F#]e already dead.
[C#m]Raise a [B]toast to St. Joe [A]Strummer
[C#m]I think he [B]mightâ??ve been ou[E]r only decent teacher
[C#m]Getting [B]older makes it [A]harder to rememberâ[E]?¦we are our onl[A]y saviors
Weâ??re gonn[F#]a build something, thi[E]s summer
