************************************************************************* * * * These are the time signatures for the verses: * * * * 6/4 5/4 * * | D5 Bb5 | G5 C5 | * * The most logical way of counting this would be to count 1-2-3 * * four times, but then skip the last beat the 4th time. * * It could be notated like this, just to make it clear what I mean: * * D5 Bb5 G5 C5 * * | 1 + 2 + 3 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + | 1 + 2 + | * ************************************************************************* D5 Bb5 G5 C5 Angels on the sideline D5 Bb5 G5 C5 Puzzled and amused D5 Bb5 G5 C5 Why did Father give these humans free will? D5 Bb5 G5 C5 Now they're all confused D5 Bb5 G5 C5 D5 Bb5 G5 C5 Don't these talking monkeys know that Eden has enough to go around? D5 Bb5 G5 Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys C5 D5 Bb5 G5 Where there's one you're bound to divide it C5 D5 Right in two *The following three verses just follow that same chord progression* Angels on the sideline Baffled and confused Father blessed them all with reason And this is what they choose? Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground Silly monkeys give them thumbs, they forge a blade And where there's one they're bound to divide it Right in two Right in two Monkey killing monkey killing monkey Over pieces of the ground Silly monkeys Give them thumbs, they make a club and beat their brother down D5 Bb5 G5 C5 D5 Bb5 G5 C5 How they survive so misguided is a mystery D5 Bb5 G5 C5 D5 Bb5 Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven G5 G5 Conscious of his fleeting time here ************************************************************* * * * For the chorus herethe timing is a bit more tricky: * * * * 3/4 4/4 4/4 * * | D5 | Bb5 C5 | G5 | * * I would count it like this: * * D5 Bb5 C5 G5 * * | 1 + 2 + 3 + | 1 + 2 + | 1 + 2 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | * * * ************************************************************* D5 Bb5 C5 G5 Cut it all over right in two D5 Bb5 C5 G5 Cut it all over right in two D5 Bb5 C5 G5 Cut it all over right in two D5 Bb5 C5 G5 Cut it all over right in two *For the next verse, there aren't really any chords for as such. It's very riff-based, so the most chordy thing I could come up with would be something like this. The timing is as the verses: 6/4 5/4 | D5 D5 | D5 C5 | Fight over clouds Over earth Over sky And fight over lie Over blood Over anything Fight over love Over sun Over nothing Fight till they die Over what? For their ending Angels on the sideline again Benched along with patience and reason Angels on the sideline again Wondering when this tug of war will end Cut it all over right in two Cut it all over right in two Cut it all over right in two Right in two Right in two
