Another Age
By Phil Ochs
Tuning: One semitone lower than standard
[Intro] 
Am F G Am F G
AmThere's a man walking round the island with a Esnake AmcaneE  Am  
AmHe picked it up in Thailand from a EhurAmricaneE  Am  
And you Cknow he's not gonna Ggo there
He's been one time too FlonGg
Now all the gods are CgoneAm  
AmThe younger boys are drowning in a Eshallow AmseaE  Am  
AmThe night belongs to snipers in Epalm AmtreesE  Am  
And their sCabres flashed like Glightning
In the charge of the last FbrigaGde
They must have been aCfraid
ESoldiers have their sorrow
The Fwretched have their rage
DmPray for the aged it's the Gdawn of another age
Of another aAmge
Of another aCge
Of another aAmge
AmThe blood running down the blackboard on a Eblank AmscreenE  Am  
AmThe convicts shake their cages of a bEad AmdreamE  Am  
And they'll cCoach you in the Gclassroom
That it cannot happen FhereG  
But it has happened Chere
AmI remember nothing that I EmemorAmizedE  Am  
AmI got my education from a Eblack AmeyeE  Am  
And they'll Cteach you law and Gorder
If you dare to raise your FhandG  
Spare the Cglove and spoil the man
ESoldiers have their sorrow
The Fwretched have their rage
DmPray for the aged it's the Gdawn of another age
Of another Amage
Of another Cage
Of another Amage
AmThomas Paine and Jesse James are Eold AmfriendsE  Am  
AmAnd Robin Hood is riding on the Eroad AmagainE  Am  
We were Cborn in a Grevolution
And we died in a wasted FwarG  
It's gone that way CbeforeAm  
AmThe dogs are chasing chicken bones aEcross the AmlawnE  Am  
AmIf that was an election, I'm a EViet AmCongE  Am  
So I pledge alClegiance against the Gflag
and the flaw for which it FstandGs
I'll raise it if I Ccan
ESoldiers have their sorrow
The Fwretched have their rage
DmPray for the aged it's the Gdawn of another age
Of another Amage
Of another Cage
Of another Amage

Another Age

By Phil Ochs

Tuning: One semitone lower than standard

[Intro]

Am F G Am F G

Am E Am E Am

There's a man walking round the island with a snake cane

Am E Am E Am

He picked it up in Thailand from a hurricane

C G

And you know he's not gonna go there

F G

He's been one time too long

C Am

Now all the gods are gone

Am E Am E Am

The younger boys are drowning in a shallow sea

Am E Am E Am

The night belongs to snipers in palm trees

C G

And their sabres flashed like lightning

F G

In the charge of the last brigade

They must have been afraid

Soldiers have their sorrow

The wretched have their rage

Dm G

Pray for the aged it's the dawn of another age

Of another age

Am E Am E Am

The blood running down the blackboard on a blank screen

Am E Am E Am

The convicts shake their cages of a bad dream

C G

And they'll coach you in the classroom

F G

That it cannot happen here

But it has happened here

Am E Am E Am

I remember nothing that I memorized

Am E Am E Am

I got my education from a black eye

C G

And they'll teach you law and order

F G

If you dare to raise your hand

Spare the glove and spoil the man

Soldiers have their sorrow

The wretched have their rage

Dm G

Pray for the aged it's the dawn of another age

Of another age

Am E Am E Am

Thomas Paine and Jesse James are old friends

Am E Am E Am

And Robin Hood is riding on the road again

C G

We were born in a revolution

F G

And we died in a wasted war

C Am

It's gone that way before

Am E Am E Am

The dogs are chasing chicken bones across the lawn

Am E Am E Am

If that was an election, I'm a Viet Cong

C G

So I pledge allegiance against the flag

F G

and the flaw for which it stands

I'll raise it if I can

Soldiers have their sorrow

The wretched have their rage

Dm G

Pray for the aged it's the dawn of another age

Of another age
