Emily Davison blues

Intro: G, D, Cadd9, G


G                       D                Cadd9                  G
Stop the clocks and open up your ears and drown out one flat string
G                 D                         Cadd9                       G
 Because there is more than one voice here and baby we are here to say something
G              D                               Cadd9                   G
 Weve come to burn down the halls weve come to break down the halls of history
G               D                     Cadd9          G
 Weve come to set fire to this land and demand accountability

        Bm                G               Em7            D
So we marched over the mountains we marched over the Thames
           Bm              G               Em7           D
 When you said you couldnt hear us we sang louder and then,
    Bm                G      Em7            D
When all the kings horses and all the kings men 
         Bm         G           Em7 D
Couldnt put this country back together again
              C                Bm7       G       D
 When no ones listening only violence makes the news
           Cadd9 G   D   G
 Ive got the Emily     Davison blues


G                       D              Cadd9            G
Stop the clocks and open up your ears and hear our voices sing
G             D                      Cadd9                   G
 in every street across this land let the sound of revolution ring.
G             D                                Cadd9                  G
 Weve come to take back whats ours weve come to make the powers justified.
G                D                            Cadd9         G
The selling of our futures by a man who stole our votes with a lie


      Bm                G               Em7            D
So we marched over the mountains we marched over the Thames
           Bm              G               Em7           D
 When you said you couldnt hear us we sang louder and then,
    Bm                G      Em7            D
When all the kings horses and all the kings men 
         Bm         G           Em7 D
Couldnt put this country back together again
              C                Bm7       G       D
 When no ones listening only violence makes the news
           Cadd9 G   D   G

G                       D                     Cadd9       G
Stop the clocks and open up your ears and hear our voices sing.
G               D             Cadd9           G
 Because there is more than one voice here and baby
Cadd9                    G
 Weve come to say something
Cadd9                    G
 Weve come to say something
Cadd9                    G
 Weve come to say something


         Bm                G               Em7            D
So we marched over the mountains we marched over the Thames
           Bm              G               Em7           D
 When you said you couldnt hear us we sang louder and then,
    Bm                G      Em7            D
When all the kings horses and all the kings men

              C                Bm7       G       D

 Ive got the Emily     Davison blues


              C                Bm7    G         D
When no ones listening only violence makes the news
               C                  Bm7     G     D
 Its not an option that we would ever gladly choose
                  C           Bm7       G      D
 But it seems whichever way I vote I always lose
                  C    Bm7       G      D
 And there is no victim no minority whose
                 C             Bm7     G     D
 Hopes you wont stand on wont abandon wont abuse
              C             Bm7       G       D
 When only millionaires and Tories write the news
           Cadd9 G   D   G
 Ive got the Emily     Davison blues
