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.
GDemonstrations (320003@1)got boring,
CWell (x32010@1)it was obvious that the government was ignoring us
EmIt's (022000@1)hard to drag yourself through empty streets
FOn (133211@1)an empty stomach with no sleep
GThe (320003@1)shortcomings got clearer
CAs (x32010@1)the price we paid got dearer and dearer
EmIt's (022000@1)supposed to be a case of give and take
FWell (133211@1)I was feeling the give and making the mistake
Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) GAnd (320003@1)I've heard it said the unexamined life,
Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) GIsn't (320003@1)much worth living, and I'm sure they're right
Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) GBut (320003@1)it's hard to keep on fighting the good fight
Am (x02210@1) FWhen (133211@1)no one else seems bothered
DYeah, (xx0232@1)when no one's on your side
C (x32010@1) DBecause (xx0232@1)I'm young enough to be all pissed off
G (320003@1) CBut (x32010@1)I'm old enough to be jaded
C (x32010@1) DI'm (xx0232@1)at the age where I want things to change
Bm (x24432@1) CBut (x32010@1)with age my hopes have faded

CAnd (x32010@1)it's an easy rhyme to call them wankers
EmBut (022000@1)I must say I envy the way that they live
FAnd (133211@1)it's all; it's all take and no give
GWell (320003@1)I'm playing the lone ranger
CRiding (x32010@1)to the rescue of 6 billion strangers
EmArmed (022000@1)with only an original song
FAnd (133211@1)a sense that something's wrong
C (x32010@1) G/B (143121@7) Am (x02210@1) GAnd (320003@1)I must admit that I'm tired of saying no, all the time
C (x32010@1) G/B (143121@7) F (133211@1) GWell (320003@1)I must admit that I don't really know what would be right
C (x32010@1) BAnd (x2444x@1)if politics, is helping other people

EmAnd (022000@1)everybody's jaded and tired and bored
FAnd (133211@1)no one lifts a finger, because
GIt's (320003@1)just not in our culture
COur (x32010@1)culture is carrion and we're all vultures
EmAnd (022000@1)no one seems bothered by the state of play
FIt (133211@1)seems that the stench is with us to stay
Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) GSo (320003@1)I had a go, I tried examining life
Am (x02210@1) FIt (133211@1)wasn't much worth living
GI (320003@1)guess they're right
Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) GAnd (320003@1)I'm tired of fighting the fight that's not my fight
Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) DSo (xx0232@1)is everybody else, we're all on the same side.
