Frank Turner - Once We Were Anarchists
Tabbed by Charlie Banks
The other version was inaccurate and lazy, so I worked it out myself.
There may be 7ths/add9s/sus chords in there, but just play around with it until you have
how you want, or listen really carefully.
G
Demonstrations got boring,
C
Well it was obvious that the government was ignoring us
Em
It's hard to drag yourself through empty streets
F
On an empty stomach with no sleep
G
The shortcomings got clearer
C
As the price we paid got dearer and dearer
Em
It's supposed to be a case of give and take
F
Well I was feeling the give and making the mistake
Am F G
And I've heard it said the unexamined life,
Am F G
Isn't much worth living, and I'm sure they're right
Am F G
But it's hard to keep on fighting the good fight
Am F
When no one else seems bothered
D
Yeah, when no one's on your side
C D
Because I'm young enough to be all pissed off
G C
But I'm old enough to be jaded
C D
I'm at the age where I want things to change
Bm C
But with age my hopes have faded
C D
I'm young and bored of being young and bored
Bm Em D
If I was old I could say I've seen it all before
C D G
In short; I'm tired of giving a shit
G
I've got friends who are bankers
C
And it's an easy rhyme to call them wankers
Em
But I must say I envy the way that they live
F
And it's all; it's all take and no give
G
Well I'm playing the lone ranger
C
Riding to the rescue of 6 billion strangers
Em
Armed with only an original song
F
And a sense that something's wrong
C G/B Am G
And I must admit that I'm tired of saying no, all the time
C G/B F G
Well I must admit that I don't really know what would be right
C B
And if politics, is helping other people
Em D C
Then my political career is pretty fucked
C D G
Because the truth is I don't like people all that much
G
The times they aren't a-changing
C
Yeah England's still shit, and it's still raining
Em
And everybody's jaded and tired and bored
F
And no one lifts a finger, because
G
It's just not in our culture
C
Our culture is carrion and we're all vultures
Em
And no one seems bothered by the state of play
F
It seems that the stench is with us to stay
Am F G
So I had a go, I tried examining life
Am F
It wasn't much worth living
G
I guess they're right
Am F G
And I'm tired of fighting the fight that's not my fight
Am F D
So is everybody else, we're all on the same side.
C D
Because I'm young enough to be all pissed off
G C
But I'm old enough to be jaded
C D
I'm at the age where I want things to change
Bm C
But with age my hopes have faded
C D
I'm young and bored of being young and bored
Bm Em D
If I was old I could say I've seen it all before
C D
In short; I'm tired
C D
And in short; I'm probably fired
C D G
If the revolution doesn't want me, I don't give a shit.
