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

G D C D G (x2)  (that's the intro)

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

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

G          D                  C                      
It took a long time to become the thing
D          G
I am to you
G                     D           C
And you won't tear it apart
C
Without a fight
D                      Em
Without a heart

Em                                                              D
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

Em
The lande aristocracy
D
Exploiting all your enmity
Em
All your daddy's fought in vain
D
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

Em                                          D
The center holds so they say
(It never held too well for me)
Em                                          D
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)

Em
The center held the bonded slave
D
For the sake of industry (ah)
Em
The center held the bloody hand
D
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
