Chords

Intro: Gm F Eb Gm x7, Gm F Eb Cm


Gm
Down, let's take it down
             Bb          F
Raise up the heads on a stake
        Cm      Eb
We will show no mercy
      Gm       D
On evolution's mistake
Gm
Change will have to wait
                Bb        F
If we can't decide on a fate
       Cm      Eb
Self appointed profits
      Gm          D
And a doomsday charade


Pre-Chorus:
    Cm
You preach about love
    D
And teach about fate
    Bb
But all your beliefs
          Eb            Gm-F-Eb-Gm- x2
Are still rooted in hate


Chorus:
Gm         F
Crosses to bend
Eb      Gm
Axes to fall
    Gm           F
And down on your knees
         Eb            Gm
You just don't look so tall
Gm         F
Crosses to bend
Eb      Gm
Axes to fall
    Gm           F
And down on your knees
         Eb            Cm
You just don't look so tall



 Gm
Stop, punch in the clock
              Bb          F
Punch it with all of your rage
        Cm     Eb
Put the men in office
      Gm      D
For a minimum wage
Gm
Rats fighting for scraps
           Bb            F
Siphon the gas from your tank
          Cm      Eb
Left your pockets empty
        Gm             D
As they laughed at the bank


Pre-Chorus:
      Cm
They speak about draws
    D
But make no mistake
        Bb
They're shaking your head
            Eb              Gm-F-Eb-Gm x2
While they spit in your face


Chorus:
Gm         F
Crosses to bend
Eb      Gm
Axes to fall
    Gm           F
And down on your knees
         Eb            Gm
You just don't look so tall
Gm         F
Crosses to bend
Eb      Gm
Axes to fall
    Gm           F
And down on your knees
         Eb            Gm
You just don't look so tall


Solo: 
D x4



Gm
Now, the time is now
             Bb       F
We can still turn it around
           Cm           Eb
Raise your voice like a weapon
          Gm          D
'Til they fall to the ground
Gm
Light, let there be light
          Bb        F
Without a shadow of doubt
        Cm
We will fight tooth
    Eb
And nail until
   Gm        D
Salvation is found


Pre-Chorus:
   Cm
So how can you look
    D
The world in the eyes
     Bb
When all we can see
      Eb              Gm-F-Eb-Gm x2
Is corruption and lies?


Chorus (slower)
Gm           F
Down on your knees
    Eb            Gm       Gm F Eb Gm
You don't look so tall,
Gm           F
Down on your knees
    Eb            Gm       Gm F Eb Gm
You don't look so tall

Gm           F
Cracking the whip on
    Eb           Gm
The backs of the poor
   Gm            F
We asked you to stop but
     Eb          Gm
You still wanted more
    Gm            F
The blood on your hands
       Eb           Gm
Left a trail as you crawl
Gm           F
Down on your knees you
     Eb            Gm
Just don't look so tall!

Crosses to bend
Eb      Gm
Axes to fall

open your eyes and 
    Eb     Gm
the empire falls!
