For The Mekons Et Al Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Is [G]it [C]tim[D]e for [G]you to settl[C]e down?[D]
Yet [G]your tiredness and [C]sad
ness keep my [D]spirits up
And [G]the guns and [C]grief that is [D]in your
heart is [G]what a [C]deputy lives [D]for.
[C]Without you, dep[G]uties exist.
No [C]voice to broadcast [G]feelings [C]with
Intuition, [G]luck, and fear
Confu[D]sion, [Bm]age, [D]and sweat, and fear
[G]If you [C]were maybe the [D]new
Mekans
And [G]you, per[C]haps, a [D]myth bygone
[G]No, they [C]have something
that [D]they can see
And [G]history is [C]there to [D]serve
[C]our cause
Memory, [G]reality, [C]loyalty, id[G]olatry,
[C]money growing [G]on a tree picked by [D]aging [G]old [D]men.
[G]Dep[C]uties do not rel[D]y, indiv[G]idual uni[C]ons, [D]imagin[G]ation, ope[C]n e[D]yes,
they're the [G]new [C]home mili[D]tia.[C][G][C][G][C][G][D][Bm][D]
Ex[G]ecutive [C]branch in a [D]na tion of one
Exer[G]cise [C]our [D]power
To [G]veto, [C]veto, veto, [D]veto
[G]Be the [C]man of the [D]hour
[C]Laws exist like [G]history [C]books[G]
If [C]you can forget how to [G]ride a bike,
you have [D]had a [Bm]good [D]teacher.
[G]The words are [C]there like a
pretty pic[D]ture
[G]Hanging [C]on the [D]bathroom wall
At [G]age sixteen [C]you are [D]stealing a mirror
And [G]find a [C]friend beside [D]you
[C]Say your piece incident[G]ally,
and [C]pick a dancing part[G]ner
And fol[C]low the step,
and [G]don't forget you can [D]use it again later
[G]If we [C]drink, we still [D]think, and we [G]wake [C]up in the morn[D]ing,
or we stay [G]out [C]all night [D]long.
[G]The righteous [C]path is [D]straight as
[C]an arrow[G][C][G][C][G][D]
You
