Protest Song '68 Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
To [Em]sing you must first
open your mouth
You must have a pair of lungs and
a little knowledge of music
It is not necessary to have an accordion,
or a guitar
The essential thing is that I want to sing
Then this is a song, [G#m]I'm singing

[Verse 2]
I breathe in [F]and I create
[Em]Re-woke the the spirit '68
Fresh [Abm]meaning to
[F]torn ide[Em]as
Let's bring life to [Abm]old clichés
Punch a [F]hole in [Em]tradition, yeah
Let's [Abm]listen to
the songs [F]of discontent
[Em]To the chords and the movement
To the chords and the movement

[Verse 3]
It could all be so [Em]simple
We would all stand baffled
by the precision and accuracy
Our jaws would hurt from dropping so hard,
[A]fast [F#m]and unexpected[Em]ly
It would be the perfect metaphor
It would be the perfect song

[Interlude 1]
we'd be singing
[Em][G#m]

[Verse 4]
I [F]breathe out [Em]an d I scream
[Abm]Rewoke Malatestas dream
[F]Inspiration from [Em]the past
Focus, the future at [Abm]last
Fixed dogmas [F]can't
[Em]substitute
Creative thoughts and action

[Verse 5]
[Em]It could be dangerous

[Interlude 2]
Art as a real threat
[Em][A][Em][A][Em][A]
[Em]
[A][C#m][A][Em]
[A][F#m][Em]

[Verse 6]
And all it is, is [Em]words
Words said a million time before
[A]And all it is, is sung
[Em]A song sung a million times before

[Verse 7]
[Em]
I breathe in and I create
Re-woke the the spirit '68
I breathe out and I scream

[Outro 1]
Rewoke Malatestas dream
