Matthew Good - A Silent Army in the Trees
appears to be alot of hammer-on//pull-offs
Matthew Good - A Silent Army in the Trees (Quebec City, QC)
GWhat will you find, Gwhere will you be
Gwhen you gotta trade Gfor company
EmThose plastic guns Emand infantry
Emfor a silent army Emin the trees?
GWell this ain't the woods Gbehind the house
Gthere ain't nobody Gscreaming out
Emfor you to come Eminside and eat
EmYou're just Emholding your friends
and Gwatching them bleed
GWore camouflage Gon Halloween,
Ga plastic bag, Gan M-16
EmDoor to door and Emhouse to house
Embut ain't nobody Emhanding it out, yeah
Gnothing's ever Gwhat it seems
Gwhen you're kicking in teeth Gand wishing it dreams
EmJust plastic guns Emand infantry
Emfor a silent army Emin the trees
G   G   Em   Em
GNow baby don't you Glet me down
Ga world away and Gstill somehow
EmCan't shake the Emfeeling that you're out
EmWith another man's arms Emwrapped tight around you
GAt night it's cold, Gwe sit and freeze
Grunning red lights Gin our Humvees
EmNever thought I'd Emlive to see the day I'd be
Emafraid of little kids EMplaying in the streets
GWell this ain't the Gwoods behind the house
GThere ain't nobody Gscreaming out
Emfor you to come Eminside and eat
EmYou're just Emholding your friends
and watching them Gbleed
G   G   Em
  BmI'm Gon fGire
BmAll Emice Gon the outside
BmThat Emold Gman in the sky
BmWell he's Emall Gice on the outside
G   G    Em   Em
GA muted whale out Gin the streets
GYou watch the stage Gbut burn the seats
EmTwo metal legs Emto get along
EmYou ain't got much Emwithout one to stand on
GSometimes at night, GI hear it roll
GA hundred cars Glong, pulling out slow
EmLike the engineers Eminside my head
EmCold and dark Emlike your side of the bed yeah,
Gnothing's ever Gwhat it seems
GAnd even if Git is, ends justify means
EmWith plastic guns Emand infantry
Emfor a silent army Emin the trees
BmI'm Emon fGire
BmBut Emall Gice on the Goutside
BmThat Emold Gman in the Gsky
BmWell Emhe's Gall ice on Gthe outside
