Nomads Revolt

Intro:

D F# Bm G x3 A

Verse1:

D     Bm           A             D
We go down to throw rocks at the river

      Bm         A
Curses at the parade

G         Bm           A           G
We're just stoning the gears of the clockworks

       A                      D
Try to keep us from acting our age

Bm              A               D                  Bm           A
We swore we'd carry on like this forever, 'til the free spirits bled.

G          Bm       A           G
But now can you believe who's a mother, and that

A                            (D)
so-and-so's cut of their dreads...


Chorus:

D F# Bm        G      D F#        Bm     G   D
      Kill of Columbus    and turn the world around

      F#     Bm         G        A
After all the nomads are settling down


Verse2:

D       Bm            A            D
Used to give most the bread to her landlord

          Bm            A
leave the crust for the squats.

G        Bm             A            G
Now the death weighed as we paid the bankers.

            A                       D
Seemed to kill all the flies in one swat.

Bm               A                D                   Bm            A
Hear the wedding band strike up a number. Dear they're playing our song.

G         Bm           A              G
Hold your breath cause we're gonna go under;

A                             (D)
get the little ones singing along.


Chorus:

D F# Bm        G      D F#        Bm     G   D
      Kill of Columbus    and turn the world around

      F#     Bm         G        A
After all the nomads are settling down    x2


Bridge:

  G             Bm                        A
No way, not to so-and-so said he'd never change

         G          Bm A
said he'd never grow.

G                     Bm
We'd stay always on a role

A                                  G         Bm A
run besides the trains past the mossy stones.

                F#                     Bm
Now there's more hope than ever and its all fallin'

             G                     A        (play verse chords: D Bm A x2 G Bm A G A D)
down and the rebels are running for mayor in your hometown.


Verse3:

D      Bm          A             D        Bm
As the nomads are dropping their anchors. Falling

         A    G        Bm               A
into the sea. And I've stopped throwing rocks at the

G       A                              D
river. Now you'll find me a swimmin up stream. There

   Bm       A          D               Bm          A
is power in unions of ramblers that got nothing to own.

G           Bm          A             G
But there's more in one fist swing in mothers swearin,

A
"my children shall never be sold!"
