CAPO ON 7TH FRET!!! (Amy usually plays this song with a capo on that position)
F G F G F (x2) (that's the intro)
AmI heard you sing a rebel song G
AmSung it loud and all alone G
AmWe can't afford the things you say G
AmWe can't afford the warranty G
AmWell I see you walking in the glare
GDown the county road we share
AmOur southern blood my heresy
GDamn that old confederacy
FIt took a lGong time to become Fthe thing
GI am to youF
FAnd you won't tear it Gapart F
FWithout a fight
GWithout a heart Am
AmI'm sorry for what you've learned (learned) G
When you feel the tables turned
To run so hard in your race (race)
Now you found who set the pace
AmThe lande aristocracy
GExploiting all your enmity
AmAll your daddy's fought in vain
GLeave you with the mark of cain
It took a long time to become the thing
I am to you and you won't tear it apart
Without a fight
Without a heart
It took a long time to become you
Become you
AmThe center holds so they say G
(It never held too well for me)
AmIt never held too well for me G
(The center holds so they say)
I won't stop short of common ground
(That vilifies the trodden down)
That vilifies the trodden down
(I won't stop)
AmThe center held the bonded slave
GFor the sake of industry (ah)
AmThe center held the bloody hand
Gof the execution man (ah)
It took a long time to become the thing
I am to you and you won't tear it apart
Without a fight
Without a heart
It took a long time to become you
Become you
It took a long time to become you
Become you
