[Intro 1]
[G][Am][C][G][Am][C][G]

[Verse 1]
Music of a southern day [Am]and the nec
tar [C]of brass
[G]Spilling into Congo Square where
[Am]the queens used [C]to pass[G]
There lies no greater place
for [Am]one left t[C]o drift
[G]And there hides no greater lie
[Am]and no bigger [C]myth

[Verse 2]
[Am]And in the h[C]eat of c[G]rackdown all is silent
Just be[Am]fore the match [C]is struck
[G]and the gas is poured along roads
[Am]But in the h[C]eat of c[G]rackdown all
is silent under[Am]neath[F]

[Verse 3]
[G]Gunned down in the drive
a for[Am]eign ex[F]change
[G]Student from Japan whose fate it[Am]
[F]was [G]shortchanged
You saw it all when [Am]it made
the national [F]news
[G]How the isolated incident oc
[Am]curred in Baton [F]Rouge

[Verse 4]
[Am]And in the h[C]eat of c[G]rackdown all is silent
Just be[Am]fore [C]the match is struck
[G]and the gas is poured along roads
[Am]But in the h[C]eat of c[G]rackdown all
is silent under[Am]neath[F]
[G]And it's a crackdown on
be[Am]lief[F]s[C]

[Verse 5]
Everyone watch[F]ing[C]
The events from [F]the sky[C]
No bodies [F]touch[C]ing
Don't wish to [F]prize
Into our [G]own lives
Into [Am]our own[F][G]

[Verse 6]
Terrorism terrify tear [Am]the truth in [F]two
[G]Seeks to paralyze wea[Am]k
en turn [F]the screws
[G]But only cowards could
create [Am]the OK bomb[F]
[G]'Cause no bomb is OK
when there [Am]can be [F]no calm

[Verse 7]
[Am]And in the h[C]eat of
[G]crackdown all is silent
While [Am]the voice [C]of power [G]over roars
condemns the songs of
[Am]Inno[C]cence and [G]finally it's a
crackdown on be[Am]liefs[F]
[G]Oh it's a crackdown on be [Am]liefs[F]
[G]And it's a crackdown on belie[Am]fs[F]
