Em G D Dsus
I heard you sing a rebel song,
Em G D Dsus
sung it loud and all alone.
Em G D Dsus
We can’t afford the things you save,
Em G D Dsus
we can’t afford the warranty.
Em G
I see you walking in the glare
D C/G
down the county road we share.
Em G
Our southern blood, my heresy,
D C/G
damn that ol’ confederacy.
G D Dsus
It took a long time to
Am7 C D
become the thing I am to you.
G D Dsus
And you won’t tear it apart
Am7 C D
without a fight, without a heart.
Em G D Dsus
I’m sorry for what you have learned,
Em G D Dsus
when you feel the tables turn.
Em G D Dsus
To run so hard in your race,
Em G D Dsus
now you find who set the pace.
Em G
The landed aristocracy
D C/G
exploiting all your enmity.
Em G
All your daddies fought in vain,
D C/G
leave you with the mark of Cain.
G D Dsus
It took a long time to
Am7 C D
become the thing I am to you.
G D Dsus
And you won’t tear it apart
Am7 C D
without a fight, without a heart.
G D Dsus
It took a long time to
Am7 C D
become you, become you.
Em G D Dsus
The center holds, so they say.
Em G D Dsus
It never held too well for me.
Em G D Dsus
I won’t stop short for common ground
Em G D Dsus
that vilifies the trodden down.
Em G
The center held the bonded slave
D C/G
for the sake of industry.
Em G
The center held the bloody hand
D C/G
of the executioner man.
G D Dsus
It took a long time to
Am7 C D
become the thing I am to you.
G D Dsus
And you won’t tear it apart
Am7 C D
without a fight, without a heart.
G D Dsus
It took a long time to
Am7 C D
become you, become you.
