Hi! So, I really wanted to play an acoustic version of M.I.A., but couldn't find any chords on the internet, so I simply sat down with my piano and tabbed it myself. I'm pretty sure it's about 90% accurate, or something along those lines, but I took the liberty of mixing up the chords a little with parallel keys, so as to not make it very repetitive. No capo Standard tuning Dm xx0231 Gm 355333 C x32010 Bb 113331 F 133211 Fm 133111 Dm Staring at the carnage Gm C Praying that the sun would never rise Bb Dm Living another day in disguise Gm C These feelings can't be right Bb Dm Lend me your courage to stand up and fight Gm C Bb On tonight Dm Gm C Bb Ooooo.... Dm Stand up and fight Dm Bb The fighting rages on and on Gm C To challenge me you must be strong Dm Bb I walk your land but don't belong Gm C Two million soldiers can't be wrong Dm Bb It's no fun but I've been here before F I'm far from home and I'm fighting your war Bb (Not the way I pictured this, I wanted better things) Dm Bb Some are scared, others killing for fun F I shot a mother right in front of her son Bb (Take this from my consciousness, and please erase my dreams) Dm Bb Fight for honor, fight for your life C F Pray to God that our side is right Gm Dm And though we won, I still may lose Gm C Until I make it home to you Dm Bb I see our mothers filled with tears C F Grew up so fast where did those years go?

Gm Dm Memories won't let you cry Gm C Unless I don't return tonight Dm Staring at the carnage Gm C Praying that the sun would never rise Bb Dm Living another day in disguise Gm C These feelings can't be right Bb Dm Lend me your courage to stand up and fight Dm C Dm Watching the death toll rise, wondering how I'm alive Gm Bb Strangers' blood on my hands, I've shot all I can Dm C Dm There are no silent nights, watching your brothers all die Gm Bb To destroy all their plans with no thought of me Dm C F C Dm No thought of me, no thought of me Dm Bb C F Gm Dm C Ohhhhh.....
