The Change Cage

Intro.

A, A, C, D

A, C, D(I like to let it ring out a bit, and tremolo/vibrato bend it a bit)


Verse(First half clean)


A
I take a steam train to work
C                        D
Just like the one my father took
A
And I pass over the walls
C                  D
I see the people as I look



(transtion from clean to distortion during these lyrics)


I see



Verse(second half heavy distortion[prolly use power chords])


A
 there's the block

For folks with purple skin
C                    D
There's the block for folks who have no chin
A
There's the block for me & all my kin
         C                                D
And over there is the change cage where we throw the rebels in


CHORUS
A
I work the change cage

Here on our side of the wall
C                       B
And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall
(2x)



Verse 2(first half clean)


A
Walls of iron bolted with steel
C                         D
Two miles high that should hide how we feel
A
And in the city we've walled off each block
C                            D
This should work to segregate any racial melting pot



Verse 2(second hald heavy distortion)


A
Long ago we learned of the trouble
C                           D
When a man steps out of his life's plastic bubble
A
So we walled off the city, caged thoughts that were free
           C                                   D
And now our lives are safe from any change that

Could have come between you & me



Repeat the CHORUS (2x)



Solo [I'll include this, with the tab later] (played over the verse chords)



Repeat the CHORUS (2x)



Verse 3(first half clean)

A
They say an artist from block 616
C                         D
Revived some old art just for his own kicks
A
They say his pictures were lude

They say his women were nude
C                D
So we throw them inside



Verse 3(second half, heavy distortion)

A
Well now that artist can run, he can hide
C                        D
But sooner or later we'll throw him inside
A
I don't think the people should see
                        C
Well that's not art to me
                        D
So we'll throw them inside
