Standard (EADGBE)

 I bless you madly

 Sadly as I tie my shoe

 I love you badly

 Just in time, at times, I guess

 Because of you I need to rest

 Because it~s you that sets the test

 So much has gone and little is new

 And as the sparrow sings

 Dawn chorus for

 Someone else to hear

 The thinker sits alone

 Growing older

And so bitter

 ~~I gave Them life, I gave Them all

 They drained my very soul...dry

 I crushed my heart to ease Their pains

 No thought for me remains there

 Nothing can they spare

 What of me?

 Who praised Their efforts to be free?

 Words of strength and care and sympathy

 I open doors that would have blocked their way

 I braved Their cause to guide for little pay

 I ravaged at my finanace just for Those

 Those whose claims were steeped in peace, tranquility

 Those who said a new world, new ways ever free

 Those whose promises stretched in hope and grace for me.~~

 I bless you madly

 Sadly as I tie my shoe

 I love you badly

 Just in time, at times, I guess

 Because of you I need to rest

 Because it~s you that sets the test

 So much has gone and little is new

 And as the sunrise stream

 Flickers on me

 My friends talk of glory, untold dream

 Where all is God and God is just a word

 ~~We had a friend, a talking man

 Who spoke of many powers that he had

 Not of the best of men but Ours

 We used him, We let him use his powers

 We let him fill our needs

 Now we are strong.

 And the road is coming to its end

 Now the damned have not time to make amends

 No purse of token fortunes stands in Our way

 The silent guns of love will blast the sky

 We broke the ruptured structure build of age

 Our weapons were tongues of crying rage

 Where money stood we planted seeds of rebirth

 And stabbed the backs of fathers, sons of dirt

 Infiltrated business cesspools

 Hating through Our sleeves

 Yea, and We slit the Catholic throat

 Stoned the poor on slogans as:

  -Screw Up Your Brother or He~ll Get You In the End-

 And We Know the Flag of Love is from Above

 And We Can Force You to Be Free

 And We Can Force You to Believe.~~

 And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain

 For I once read a book in which the lovers were slain

 For they Knew not the words of the Free States~ refrain,

It said:

 ~~I Believe in the Power of Good

 I Believe in the State of Love

 I Will Fight For the Right to be Right

 I Will Kill for the Good of the Fight for the Right to be Right.~~

 And I open my eyes to look around

 And I see a child laid slain on the ground

 As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows

 Ploughing down man, woman, listening to its command

 But not hearing anymore-

 Not hearing anymore

 Just the shrieks from the old rich

 And I Want to Believe

 In the madness that calls ~Now~

 And I Want to Believe

 That a light is shining through somehow

 And I Want to Believe

 And You Want to Believe

 And We Want to Believe

 And We Want to Live

 Oh, We Want to Live

 We Want to Live

 We Want to Live

(marching-type beat configuration appears)

 We Want to Live

 We Want to Live

 We Want To Live

 I Want to Live

 I Want to Live

 I Want to Live

 I Want to Live

 I Want to Live

 I Want to Live

 Live

 Live

 Live

(it continues with the G-Ab-Bb-C chords until it fades)

The Chords Used Are:

Make sure to play the marching chords at the end in barre form.

And that is pretty much it. Please send my email and comment if you find

any errors or anything else not of that nature. Bye-bye.

(This thing came out a bit screwed up, especially with the chords above the

words, but I hope you get the idea)
