CAPO ON 7TH FRET!!! (Amy usually plays this song with a capo on that position)

G5 D5 C5 D5 G5 (x2)  (that's the intro)

E5                                             D5
I heard you sing a rebel song
E5                                       D5
Sung it loud and all alone
E5                                                  D5
We can't afford the things you say
E5                                          D5
We can't afford the warranty

E5      
Well I see you walking in the glare
D5
Down the county road we share
E5
Our southern blood my heresy
D5
Damn that old confederacy

G5          D5                  C5                      
It took a long time to become the thing
D5          G5
I am to you
G5                     D5           C5
And you won't tear it apart
C5
Without a fight
D5                      E5
Without a heart

E5                                                              D5
I'm sorry for what you've learned (learned)
When you feel the tables turned
To run so hard in your race (race)
Now you found who set the pace

E5
The lande aristocracy
D5
Exploiting all your enmity
E5
All your daddy's fought in vain
D5
Leave you with the mark of cain

It took a long time to become the thing
I am to you and you won't tear it apart
Without a fight
Without a heart

It took a long time to become you
Become you

E5                                          D5
The center holds so they say
(It never held too well for me)
E5                                          D5
It never held too well for me
(The center holds so they say)
I won't stop short of common ground
(That vilifies the trodden down)
That vilifies the trodden down
(I won't stop)

E5
The center held the bonded slave
D5
For the sake of industry (ah)
E5
The center held the bloody hand
D5
of the execution man (ah)

It took a long time to become the thing
I am to you and you won't tear it apart
Without a fight
Without a heart

It took a long time to become you
Become you

It took a long time to become you
Become you
