I Am The One Who Will Remember Everything chords

capo II

[Em] [G] [C] x 2

Oh what have we[Em] here, he must be [G]three or [C]four,
Shaken out of a[Em] boot on its[G] way back to[C] war
And he’s not lo[G]oking [Bm]for a father[Em] or a mother,
Just a[C] seven year old[G] brother,
On this[Am] smudged line border[D] camp of refugees,

[Em]I am the [G]one who will re[C]member everything
[Em]I am the [G]one who will re[C]member everything

So where are we[Em] now, he must[G] be five or[C] six,
Just running[Em] around, hungry[G] kids, sharpened[C] sticks.
And he will[G] grow with[Bm] pain and fear and[Em] jealousy,
Taken in by[C] schools of[G] zealotry,
Who train[Am] orphans to make[D] orphans evermore.

[Em]I am the [G]one who will re[C]member everything
[Em]I am the [G]one who will re[C]member everything
[Em]I am the [G]one who will re[C]member everything
[Em]I am the [G]one who will re[C]member everything

[BRIDGE]
You drink the[Em] smoke, you ride the[G] noise
You drink the[C] smoke, you ride the noise,
And you[Em] say it’s [G]necessary,
And you for[C]get the ordinary

But I say,[Em] on the[G] wheel of time[C] ,

Scour the Earth and find the
[Em]Orphans of[G] forgetting, all the[C] orphans of forgetting,
Give them[Em] stars for math and[G] praise for good play,
[C]Here’s a Ban[Am]d-Aid, happy birthday,
[D]Yes of course I did remember,
I remember everything[Em]

Oh come over[Em] here, kid weâ?[G] ?™ve got all [C]these books to read,
With the turtles and[Em] frogs, cats and[G] dogs who civilize[C] the centuries,
And in a[G] world thatâ[Bm]€™s angry, crue[Em]l and furious,
There’s[C] this monkey whoâ[G]€™s just curious,
Floating[Am] high above a[D] park with bright balloons.

I am the one who will remember everything.

[Em]I am the [G]one who will re[C]member everything
[Em]I am the [G]one who will re[C]member everything
[Em]I am the [G]one who will re[C]member everything
[Em]I am the [G]one who will re[C]member everything
[Em]Everything…
