[Intro 1]
[Am][F][G][Am][F][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
There's [Am]a man walking
round the island with [E]a snake [Am]cane
[E]He [Am]picked it up in
Thailand from a [E]hurricane[Am]
And you [C]know he's not
gonna [G]go there
He's [Em]been one time too [F]long[G]
Now all the gods are [C]gone
[Am](Though the game is gone)
The younger boys are drowning
in a shallow [E]sea[Am]
The night belongs to snipers
in [E]palm [Am]trees[E][Am]
And their [C]sabres flashed like [G]lightning
In [Em]the charge of the last [F]bri[G]gade
They must have been [C]afraid
[E]Soldiers have their sorrow
The [F]wretched have their [Dm]rage
Pray for the aged it's
[G]the dawn of another age
Of another [Am]age
Of another [C]age
Of an[Am]other [F]age[G][Am]
The blood running down the blackboard on [E]a
[Am]blank(?) screen (in a thin stream?)
The convicts shake their cages
of a bad [E]dream[Am]
And [C]they'll coach you in the classroom
[G]that it can[Em]not happen her[F]e[G]
But it has happened [C]here[Am]
I remember nothing that [E]I mem[Am]orized (The cockroach
cops are crawling on a battle ground)
I got my education from a [E]black [Am]eye (The shields are in the shadows,
it's a college town)
[C]And they'll teach you law and [G]or der
If you [Em]dare to raise your [F]hand[G]
Spare the glove and spoil [C]the man
[E]Soldiers have their sorrow
The [F]wretched have their [Dm]rage
Pray for the aged
It's the [G]dawn of another age
Of another [Am]age
Of another [C]age[Am][F][G][Am]
Thomas Paine and Jesse
James are [E]old [Am]friends
And Robin Hood is riding
on the [E]road [Am]again
We were [C]born in a revolu[G]tion and
we [Em]died in a wasted [F]war[G]
It's gone that way [C]be [Am]fore
The dogs are chasing chicken
bones [E]across [Am]the lawn
If that was an election, I'm a [E]Viet [Am]Con g
So I [C]pledge allegiance [G]against the flag
and the [Em](fall,flaw,cloth?) for
which it [F]stand[G] s
I'll raise raze it
if I [C]can
(Pledge allegiance to the land)
[E]Soldier have their sorrow
The [F]wretched have their [Dm]rage
Pray for the aged
It's the [G]dawn of another age
Of another [Am]age
Of another [F]age
Of another [E]age

[Outro 1]
Of another age
