Cassius, Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Past my window, out in the street
Life makes short work of all I see
[F]Men take the change from beggars
Tight bound in sheets
[Eb]Red and blue, the useless sirens s[G]cream

[Verse 2]
[G]
The song [Am]of ma[G]sses, passing outside
All inciting the fifth of July
When [F]guns for hire open fire,
blind against the dawn
[Eb]When the knights in iron took the [G]pawn
[Eb]You and I, out into the night
Held within the line that they've [G]drawn

[Verse 3]
[C]As I went they're all beside us in silence
As if unaffected amid the violence
Oh, [Am]are [Em]we al[D]so ta[C]med?
I was in a river, as if in [Am]water
[C]Wife, a son, a son, a son, and a daughter[Am]
[C]Oh, are[Am] we a[C]ls[D]o tame[C]d?
[G]

[Verse 4]
I walked home, no words to say
Cassius, one month gone on his way
And [F]who will lead us and
who remains to die?
[Eb]By a thread, drop my head to c[G]ry

[Verse 5]
[C]As I went they're all beside us in silence
As if unaffected amid the violence
Ooh, are [Am]we al[Em]so t[D]amed?[C]
I was in a river, as if [Am]in water
[C]Wife, a son, a son, a son,
and [Am]a daughter[C]
Ooh, [Am]are w[Em]e al[D]so ta[C]med?
[Am]Ooh

[Verse 6]
[C]Ooh
[Am]Oo h[C][Am][D][C]
