Artist: I The Mighty
Tuning: Standard
Capo 1st Fret
[INTRO]
[Am] [strum x1 & palm-mute] [x4]
[Am] [x4]
[Am] [B] [C] [E] [F] FaddD
We started riots in the streets just so you could point the finger.
[Am] [B] [C] [G]* [G]
We set fire to these cities just so we could watch them burn and light our way.
You can [E]call us [F]hell, call us what you will,
just don't you ever call us by our [C]names.
[Dm] DmaddF DmaddE [Am]
We are you sisters, your brothers, your sons, the whole damn brigade.
And we won't [F]stop till every [E]citizen, they [Am]get what [E]they de[F]serve.
[Dm] DmaddD [Am]
So be kind to your elders and watch your words.
I'm [G]callin' it [C]quits just as [G]soon as [Abm]we re[Am]turn,
[E]but for [F]now I'm just a [G]patriot at [Am]work.
[E]So we sing &[F]quot;Oh you poor, [Am]poor soul.
I've been sent [F]here to bring you [G]home.
My [C]queen, she [G]brews a [Dm]power[E]ful [F]stew
and we need [F]just one [G]piece of [Am]you."
[Am] [B] [C] [E] [F] FaddD
We are the shadow that is cast upon your richest city square.
[Am] [B] [C] [G]* [G]
We are the voices that you'll hear a single hour 'fore we're there
if the wind's in your favo[E]r. [F]
And we only do to those as they have done to others so you[C] should know
[Dm] DmaddF DmaddE [Am]
whether to wave as we're passing you by or hide in your rooms.
Some give us[F] praise, some [E]join and stay, some [Am]say we're [E]playing [F]God.
[Dm] DmaddD [Am]
And all in one voice we sing "you're wrong" but they may be not.
So I'm [G]callin' it [C]quits just as [G]soon as [Abm]we re[Am]turn
[E]but for [F]now I'm just a [G]patriot at [Am]work.
[E]So we sing &[F]quot;Oh you poor, [Am]poor soul.
I've been sent [F]here to bring you [G]home.
My [C]queen, she [G]brews a [Dm]power[E]ful [F]stew
and we need [F]just one [G]piece of [Am]you."
[B] [C][x1] [G][x1] [Dm][x1] [E][x1] [F][x1]
"My queen, she brews a powerful stew
[F][x1] [G][x1] [Am][x1]
and we need just one piece of you."
G*: [xxx0xx] (just the G note played before G chord)
You can also play the D string while holding the G bar chord for the same note

[Dm] ; [x57765]
