Highwire

The Rolling Stones

Tom: G

(intro) A C G D G D G D C G

    G
    We sell 'em missiles, We sell 'em tanks
    C
    We give 'em credit, You can call the bank

    G
    It's just a business, You can pay us in crude
    C
    You love these toys, just go play out your feuds

    G
    Got no pride, don't know whose boots to lick
    C
    We act so greedy, makes me sick sick sick

(A C G D G D G D C G)
    So get up, stand up, out of my way
    I want to talk to the boss right away

(A C G D G D G D C G)
    Get up, stand up, whose gonna pay
    I want to talk to the man right away

(refrão)
    G            C   G
    We walk the highwire
                                D
    Sending the men up to the front line
                                 C
    Hoping they don't catch the hell fire
                       D
    With hot guns and cold, cold nights

                 C   G
    We walk the highwire
                                D
    Sending the men up to the front line
                                C
    And tell 'em to hotbed the sunshine
                       D
    With hot guns and cold, cold nights

A C G D G D G D C G
    Our lives are threatened, our jobs at risk
    Sometimes dictators need a slap on the wrist

A C G D G D G D C G
    Another Munich we just can't afford
    We're gonna send in the eighty-second airborne

    Get up, stand up, who's gonna pay
    I wanna talk to the boss right away
    Get up, stand up, outta my way
    I wanna talk to the man right away

(refrão 2x)
    We walk the highwire
    Putting the world out on a deadline
    And hoping they don't catch the shellfire
    With hot guns and cold, cold nights

    Get up! Stand up!
    Dealer! Stealer!
    Hey!

(refrão 4x)
