About Chris and Kate

The Gascd is Chris and Kate's album dedicated to social justice and the legal defence of protestors

 

             D                        G                  A
I will resist war, I will not be seduced by hate

                D                    G              A           
I'll live in service, the only enemy is my own heart

                D                     G                       A
should I decide to late to challenge the very name

                D                          G                   A
for what is war? Rich spending poor inside a game

                        D                              G                  A
it's not just the bullets, it's more than cannons in the field

                     D                     G                 A
it's the brutal fabric sewn by every crooked deal

                                  D                               G                 A
and the loose threads of justice, pulled for this contest we are in

                D                  G                    A
for what is life if it takes them to die for us to win-

              D            Bminor             G                  A
are you listening?       There is a prophet in our midst

             D        Bminor              G               A
he is a corpse-     a dead hand curled into a fist

               D      Bminor             G                A
will you ignore      the timeless story of the name

                D     Bminor          G                      A
of what war is     and how it all turns out the same

(instrumental bridge-    F#minor/G ,  repeat)

(instrumental vs.-      D,Bminor/G,A   repeat)

BRIDGE -
         F#minor/G                   F#minor/G                F#minor/G         F#minor/G
Oh truth     what's to be done?                They've made a liar       of everyone

                 D                       G            A
And every tyrant    is built a dollar at a time

                      D                        G                  A
So here's your hitler standing on nickles and on dimes

             D                G             A
Oh the crimes being done every day

                    D                          G                A
And nothin's changing    and it's perpetuating hate

              D     Bminor        G                     A
One more lie,   one more battle , one more grave

                   D           Bminor       G                      A
War without end-        and if the willing and the brave

                              D          Bminor           G          A
And the deaths of millions      has promised us no relief

                      D        Bminor         G                    A      
Then I take my life      and place it on the side of peace

BRIDGE out - but this time reverse the chords -     G/F#minor   repeat
