[A] [B]
[A] [B]

[A]Our [B]psalms are sing-along songs
C#m (or C# not sure) B A
[A]And t[B]his whole town is like this
[A]Been [B]that way our whole lives
[A]Just [B]work at the mill until you die
[A]Work [B]at the mill, and then you die
[C#m] [B] [A]
[A]We?re[B] gonna build something, this summer
[A]We?re[B] gonna build something, this summer
[C#m]We?ll put it [B]back together- [A]raise up a giant ladder
[E]With love, and trust, and friends, and hammers ([A]This [F#]summer!)
[C#m]We?re gonna [B]lean this ladder [A]up against the water tower
[E]Climb up to the top, and drink and talk ([A]This [F#]summer!)
[A]Me an[B]d my friends are like ?[A]Doub[B]le-whiskey-coke-no-ice.?
[A]We dr[B]ink along in double tim[A]e; m[B]ight drink too much, but we feel fine
[C#m] [B] [A]
[A]We?re[B] gonna build something this summer.

[C#m]Let this be my [B]annual [A]reminder that we can all be something [E]bigger
[E]
[E]
[E]I went to your schools, I did my detention
But the walls are so gray, I couldn?t pay attention
[E]I heard your gospel- it moved me to tears,
But I couldn?t find the hate, and I couldn?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 aren?t dying are [F#]already dead.
[C#m]Raise a [B]toast to St. Joe [A]Strummer
[C#m]I think he [B]might?ve been our [E]only decent teacher
[C#m]Getting [B]older makes it [A]harder to remember?[E]we are our only [A]saviors
We?re gonna [F#]build something, this [E]summer
