Against the Grain Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C][Em][C][Em]
Three thou[C]sand miles
of wilderness [Em]overcome by the flow
A lonely [C]restitution [Em]of pavement,
pomp and show
[C]I seek a thousand answers,
[Em]I find but one or two
I main[C]tain no discomfiture,
[Em]my path again [C]renewed[Em]

[Verse 2]
Against the grain,
[C]tha[Am]t's w[Em]here I'll stay[C][Am]
[Em]Swimming upstream,
I [C]maintain against [Em]the grain
[C]

[Verse 3]
[Em]
[C]Here labeled as a lunatic,
[Em]se questered and content
[C]There ignored and defeated by
[Em]the government
[C]There's an oriented public whose
[Em]magnetic force will pull
[C]But away from the potential of [Em]the individual
[C][Am][Em]

[Verse 4]
Against the grain,
[C]tha[Em]t's where I'll st[C]ay[Am]
[Em]Swimming upstream,
[C]I maintain against t[Em]he grain
[C]

[Verse 5]
[Em]
The flow [C]is getting stronger with
[Em]small increments of time
And [C]eddies of new ideas are
[Em]increasingly hard to find
[C]You need all that the other has,
[Em]it's your right to seize the day
But in all [C]your acquisitions you [Em]will soon
be swept [C]away[Em]

[Verse 6]
Against the grain,
[C]tha[Am]t's w[Em]here I'll stay[C][Am]
[Em]Swimming upstream,
[C]I maintain against t[Em]he grain
[C]

[Verse 7]
[Em]
There's [C]a common consensus
[Em]and an uncomfortable cheer
A rever[C]berating chorus
[Em]that anyone can hear
It [C]sings 'leave your cares behind
you, just [Em]grab [C]tenaciously'
This lulling sense of purpose
[Em]will destroy [C]us rapidly[Am]
[Em]

[Verse 8]
Against the grain,
[C]tha[Em]t's where I'll st[C]ay[Am]
[Em]Swimming upstream,
[C]I maintain against t[Em]he grain
[C]

[Verse 9]
[Am]
[Em]Against the grain,
[C]aga[Em]inst the grai[C]n[Am]
[Em]Against the [C]grain[Am][Em]
