Intro: D5 C#5 B5 A5

A5                 D5                  E5                   A5
The songs of my ancestors still ricochet through the wind,
                 D5                  E5                 A5
And the smoke is rising through the words I and I sing.
                D5         E5                 A5
Music is my ammunition; I fire down Babylon!

[one more time]
                   D5                E5                    A5
The songs of my ancestors still ricochet through the wind,
                 D5                  E5                 A5
And the smoke is rising through the words I and I sing.
                D5       E5                A5
Music is my ammunition; fire down Babylon!

A5             F#5    D5              E5
Imprisonment, poverty and Babylon's system;
      ( D5 C#5 B5 A5 )
We've been suffering all this time (all this time)
        F#5                    D5        E5
I and I keep on chanting down 'Till our children will face
( D5 C#5 B5 A5 )
The front of that line

[I gotta say]
                  D5                  E5                   A5
The songs of my ancestors still ricochet through the wind
(through the wind),
                 D5                  E5                 A5
And the smoke is rising through the words I and I sing.
                D5               E5                 A5
Music is my ammunition, lord; I fire down Babylon!

[one more time]
                  D5                 E5                    A5
The songs of my ancestors still ricochet through the wind,
                 D5                  E5                 A5
And the smoke is rising through the words I and I sing.
                 D5              E5                A5
Music is my ammunition, lord; I fire down Babylon!

[Roberto Luti Guitar Solo] ( A5 D5 E5 A5 ) 4X
A5         D5           E5           A5
Peace and dignity are not very far out of our reach
              D5
It just comes down (just comes down)
E5               A5
to what I and I choose to teach
         F#5     D5          E5
Truth and honesty will free our hearts
    ( D5 C#5 B5 A5 )
And free our minds (free our minds)
      F#5            D5          E5
So then our children can live together as one
( D5 C#5 B5 A5 )
'Till the end of time

                 D5                  E5                 A5
And the smoke is rising through the words I and I sing.
                 D5              E5                 A5
Music is my ammunition, lord; I fire down Babylon!
                  D5                 E5                    A5
The songs of my ancestors still ricochet through the wind
