East chords and lyrics - THE CAT EMPIRE

Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[C#]

[Verse 1]
I see the summer in [C#]a
little green leaf now
One million trees now their
swords unsheathed now
Little children been inside
for weeks now
Running out water fighting in the streets now
I always lived for that summertime day
How to be sure good weather
coming your way
How to be sure you leave
behind clouds of grey
We head east, up to Byron Bay

[Verse 2]
[C#]Up[D][C#]

[Interlude 1]
to Byron Bay...
[C#][D][C#]

[Verse 3]
Take a bus if you [C#]must or
just drive you'll
Head straight in to the sea on arrival
Deserted beaches for me soul survival
In the East I find me gods much
greater than the bible
And now I sit by this creek while I rest
I think lucky me because
this East is still the West
I got food
I got water
I got peace
I am blessed
I got no bombs fallin on me [D]chest[C#]

[Interlude 2]
Fallin on me chest
[C#][D][C#][D]
[C#]

[Verse 4]
I'm reminded as I [C#]sit by
this creek [D]now
[C#]Camel in the desert bone
dry for a week [D]now
[C#]The scene of learning on Earth
this ancient [D]land [C#]now
Ancient libraries buried [D]in the sand now
Now every[G]body [D]jump up,

[Verse 5]
[A]
jump [D]up and [Bm]down now
The leaders [D]of this [G]country they
are [A]wearing the [Bm]crowns
Represent the [G]people of the
[A]country and the [Bm]towns
So people shout out [F#]for comp[G]assion
[C#]or this sh[A]ip is going do[Bm]wn
And [F#]in the E[F#m]ast I see

[Verse 6]
[A]fun I see [Bm]sun
But in [F#]another [G]East I hear
[A]bombs [D]I hear g[Bm]uns
Some [F#]good [G]people they [A]run [D]run [Bm]run
And we [C#]put them [D]in a cage,
[Eb]let them b[C#]urn in the s[D]un
We [C#]just let them burn in the [D]sun
What's to be [C#]done?[D]
We just let [Bm]them burn in [C#]the sun
[D][C#][D]

[Verse 7]
[C#]We so lucky why not
share it around [D]now?[C#]
We so lucky why not share
it around [D]now?[C#]
We so lucky why not share it
around [D]now?[C#]
We so lucky why not share it around now?
