ONE HUNDRED YEARS
tune down 1/2 step (optional)
A G D F
It doesn’t matter if we all die
A G D F
Ambition in the back of a black car
A G D F
In a high building there is so much to do
A
Going home time
G D F
A story on the radio
A G
Something small falls out of your mouth
D F
And we laugh
A G
A prayer for something better
D
A prayer
F
For something better
A
Please love me
G
Meet my mother
D F
But the fear takes hold
A G
Creeping up the stairs in the dark
D F
Waiting for the death blow
A G
Waiting for the death blow
D F
Waiting for the death blow
A G D F
Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot
A G D F
Fighting for freedom on television
A G D F
Sharing the world with slaughtered pigs
A G
Have we got everything?
D F
She struggles to get away . . .
A
The pain
G
And the creeping feeling
D F
A little black haired girl
A
Waiting for Saturday
G D F
The death of her father pushing her
A G D F
Pushing her white face into the mirror
A
Aching inside me
G
And turn me round
D
Just like the old days
F
Just like the old days
A G
Just like the old days
D F
Just like the old days
A
Caressing an old man
G D F
And painting a lifeless face
A G D F
Just a piece of new meat in a clean room
A G D F
The soldiers close in under a yellow moon
A
All shadows and deliverance
G
Under a black flag
D
A hundred years of blood
F
Crimson
A
The ribbon tightens round my throat
G
I open my mouth
D F
And my head bursts open
A G
A sound like a tiger thrashing in the water
D F
Thrashing in the water
A
Over and over
G D F
We die one after the other
A
Over and over
G D F
We die one after the other
A G
One after the other
D F
One after the other
A G
One after the other
D F
One after the other
A G D F
It feels like a hundred years
A
A hundred years
G
A hundred years
D
A hundred years
F
A hundred years
A G D F
One hundred years
