[Intro 1]
[Dm][Am][Dm][A][Dm]
[Am][Dm]

[Verse 1]
Ivory [Dm]tusk,
smash into thine [Am]own
[Dm]To show thee fit to continue
[D]I weep for the[Dm]m and I weep for me[Am]
We [Dm]rally to charge to die
[Am]And laugh when[A] it's [Dm]through
[Am]Well

[Verse 2]
rise and walk [A]now
you're [Am]a man
Don't try to play [A]catch me if you can
Just do as you're told
[Am]son you [A]must a[Am]bide
[A]Have you gone crazy
it never was a free ride
Just take your medi[Am]cine
and help it go down
[A]Do as you're told boy no need to frown
You know it [Am]happened to me
and [A]your Granddad [Am]too
Not a Goddamn any one can do

[Verse 3]
[D]Well sir I don't [C]know but I [Am]hear them [A]say
If [D]there's no free [C]ride then [Am]ride [A]away
And it [D]could [Dm]be me[C],
and it [Am]could be [A]strange
But I [D]keep hearing [C]voices singing [Am]"Comes
[A]a change"
[Dm][Am][Dm][Am]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]
Blood drop spill unto the parched earth
[Am]And nour[Dm]ish that[Am] which[Dm] is hungry
Feast [Am]well avenging [Dm]mad [Am]ness
Then [Dm]call your buzzards [Am]down
to clean the car[Dm]cass
[Am]Well your

[Verse 5]
[A]life's not yours
it's everyone's
So do [Am]the right thing
and go [A]for your guns
It's how the world [Am]was saved
and how the West was won
So here he comes [A]now you
gotta [Am]stand [A]or run
Just level your iron boy and sight him in
You ain't out to die boy
You're out to win
You know you [Am]hate him,
you must know [A]he hates you
Not a Goddam[Am]n anyone can do
[A]Well if

[Verse 6]
[D]my life is [C]everyone's
well [Am]good [A]that's fine
But you've [D]yet to prove [C]that
that makes [Am]his l[A]ife mine
And it could [Am]be me[C] and
I [Am]could be [A]strange
But I [Dm]keep hear[D]ing [C]voices singing
[Am]"Comes a [A]change"

[Verse 7]
Like [E]rain [D]and thunder washing
[A]everything [E]away[D]
That's what I hear [A]them [E]say
[D]You might just [A]prefer [E]to pray
[D]It's the same thing anyway[Dm]

Ivory [Dm]tusk, smash into thine [Am]own

[G]Well sir

[Verse 9]
[D]I don't k[C]now but I h[Am]ear them s[A]ay

You might just [A]prefer [E]to [D]pray
Like [E]rain [D]and thunder washing
everything [E]away[D]
That's what I hear [E]them [D]say
You might just [E]prefer
to pray
