ONE HUNDRED YEARS
tune down 1/2 step (optional)
AIt doesn’t matter Gif we all dieD  F  
AAmbition in the back of a Gblack carD  F  
AIn a high building there is Gso much to doD  F  
GAoing home time
A Gstory on the radioD  F  
ASomething small falls Gout of your mouth
And we DlaughF  
AA prayer for something betteGr
A Dprayer
For something Fbetter
Please lAove me
Meet my Gmother
But the Dfear takes holdF  
CAreeping up the stairs in the Gdark
Waiting for the Ddeath Fblow
WAaiting for the death Gblow
WaDiting for the death Fblow
AStroking your hair as the Gpatriots are shotD  F  
AFighting for freedom Gon televisionD  F  
ASharing the world with Gslaughtered pigsD  F  
HaAve we got everytGhing?
She Dstruggles to get Faway . . .
AThe pain
And the creeping Gfeeling
A Dlittle black haired girlF  
AWaiting for Saturday
The Gdeath of her father Dpushing herF  
APushing her white face Ginto the mirrorD  F  
AAching inside me
And Gturn me round
DJust like the old days
FJust like the old days
AJust like the old Gdays
DJust like the old Fdays
ACaressing an old man
And Gpainting a lifeless DfaceF  
AJust a piece of new meat Gin a clean roomD  F  
AThe soldiers close in Gunder a yellow DmoonF  
AAll shadows and deliverance
GUnder a black flag
A hDundred years of blood
FCrimson
The Aribbon tightens round my throat
I Gopen my mouth
And my Dhead bursts Fopen
AA sound like a tiger Gthrashing in the water
DThrashing in the wFater
AOver and over
We Gdie one after the DotherF  
AOver and over
We Gdie one after the DotherF  
AOne after the Gother
DOne after the Fother
AOne after the Gother
DOne after the Fother
AIt feels like a Ghundred yearDsF  
A Ahundred years
A Ghundred years
A Dhundred years
A Fhundred years
AOne hundred GyearsD  F
