          C                               G
Well, I'm drunk as a parish priest on the lies that you told us
    F                                  C
I'm sick to the fookin' teeth o' the excuses that you sold us
C             Em/B          Am          
Wondering how long in your thoughts you might hold Us
D                 G
Hey man you're no good

     C                              G
I no longer believe you got my best interests in your heart
  F                           C
I should've known better than believe them from the start
C            Em/B       Am  
Hey, Mr. politician its time to depart 
F     G    C
   we want blood

        C           
We want blood 
        F
We want blood
         C                                 /B /A G
Let that scarlet red river turn our cities into mud
     C             Am            D             
I've heard all the lies that I'm ever gonna wanna hear now
F  G    C
We want blood

         C                                      G
You made promises that you couldn't keep well I guess that's alright
    F                            C
But whose gonna take my baby out dancing tonight?
      C                     Em/B          Am  
Is my daddy's gonna have to work till the day that he dies
D                    G
Like he said that he would?

        C                        G
Let the down-trodden rise with a fire in their soul
        F                       C
Let the song of the working man make your heart whole
C        Em/B         Am                   
How many times do you need to be told 
F  G    C

     C             Am            D             
I've heard all the lies that I'm ever gonna wanna hear now
F  G    C
We want blood

Am              G
Indigo, indigo, indigo
C                 F
Indigo, crimson & black
        C
All the colours of the flag that I hoist up in the air
          G
When I've taken my dignity back!

        C                        G
Let the down-trodden rise with a fire in their soul
        F                       C
Let the song of the working man make your heart whole
C        Em/B         Am
