Chariot

Em                        G
This is a song that came upon me one night
          Am
When the news it had been telling me
       C                D
About one more war and one more fight
      Em
And 'aeh' I sighed but then
     G
I thought about my friends
         Am
Then I wrote this declaration
         C              D
Just in case the world end

[Verse 2]
Our guns
Em             G
 We shot them in the things we said
        Am
Ah we didn't need no bullets
         C            D
Cos we rely on some words instead
Em
Kill someone in argument
G
Outwit them with our brains
          Am
And we'd kill ourselves laughing
         C                D
At the funny things we'd say

[Verse 3]
And bombs
Em              G
  We had them saved for special times
          Am
When the crew would call a shakedown
     C            D
We break down a party landmine
Em
Women that so sexy
        G
They explode us with their looks
         Am
Ah we blowing up some speakers
          C              D
Jumping round till the ground shook

[Verse 4]
And missiles
Em                   G
   They were the roadtrips that we launched
       Am
T-t-tripping across this island
            C              D
Starting missions at the break of dawn
 Em
Yawn and smile say
        G
What direction shall we take?
Am
Somewhere where it warm and wet
C                        D
This be the route we'd always take and

[Chorus]
Am                      Em
  Our weapons were our instruments
G           D          C
Made from timber and steel
              Am
We never yielded to conformity
      Em
But stood like kings
        G
In a chariot that's riding on a
   D
Record wheel

[Verse 5]
           Em
And our airforce flying
            G
When the frisbee in the sky
         Am
Have a session while we're smoking
             C           D
Now we're feeling extra high
          Em
And we'd sneak into a carpark
            G
With the skaties on our back
            Am
And we're flying down the levels howling
         C                D
On the attack now on the attack

[Verse 6]
And battles
Em                   G
  They happened in these dancehalls
           Am
See we'd rather fight with music
    C               D
Choosing one the rhythm war
Em
Battle at these shakedowns
         G
And we battle at these gigs
        Am
We do battle in our bedrooms
            C                D
Made some sweet love to the beat

[Bridge]
           Em
Then our allies grew
     G
Wherever we would roam
        Am
See whenever we're together
        C             D
Any stranger feel at home
      Em
In a way we are an army
          G
But this army not destruct
      Am
No instead we're doing simple things
       C             D
Good loving find it run amuck

[Verse 7]
Em
This be a declaration
   G
Written about my friends
        Am
It's engraved into this song
         C               D
So they know I'm not forgetting them
      Em
See maybe if the world contained
 G
More people like these
          Am
Then the news would not be telling me
       C                   D
About all that warfare endlessly and

[Chorus]
Am                      Em
  Our weapons were our instruments
G           D          C
Made from timber and steel
              Am
We never yielded to conformity
      Em
But stood like kings
