After The Revolution

Cmaj7          G 
 After the revolution 
Cmaj7             G 
 When my gun was still smoking 
  A7            Bsus4         B 
I bent over the man I had shot 



Cmaj7           G    Gmaj7 
 His breath was warm 
Cmaj7       G   Gmaj7 
 Against my ear 
      A7                          Am7 
And I waited what seemed like an eternity 
        Bsus4                      B 
For the words to take shape in his mouth 


 
Cmaj7        G    Gmaj7 
 There is no peace 
Cmaj7      G          Asus4 
 Unless it be through Christ 
         Am7          Bsus4                 B 
There is no freedom unless it be through God 



Cmaj7    G         Gmaj7 
 Knot in my stomach 
Cmaj7           G 
 Old rage in my head 
      A7           Am7 
And I go to shout, no 
      Bsus4                            B 
But I could not tear the voice from my throat 



Cmaj7                G    Gmaj7 
 A voice that in its time 
Cmaj7        G                         A7 
 Had vomited forth a thousand words in anger 
        Am7             Bsus4 
Men and women are we to eat these rotting greens for ever 
           B 
Or take up hammers against the reign of the monotone tide 
                              Cmaj7 
With pistols sparkling in the sun 



         G     Gmaj7 
His eyes closed 
Cmaj7                     G 
 Head slumped back to the ground 
A7            Am7 
 Gun pressed against my head 
Bsus4                  B 
 But I cannot pull the trigger

 There is no peace

 Unless it be through Christ 
         Am7          Bsus4                 B    Cmaj7 
There is no freedom unless it be through God
