Ramshackle Glory


Tom: Am

Am                        G           F
Goddamn we must be living in the last days if
    Am                        G         F
the president's black but the system is racist
       Am                      G           F
when I got to your house every body was wasted
      Am                      G           F
gotta hang those crackers who lynched troy davis
     Am                       G               F
if I start to believe in the words that we're saying
      Am                       G           F
gonna get locked up or knocked dead on the pavement
  Am                   G           F
chinga la frontera but while we're waiting
         Am                      G       F
got some new punk vinyl and it's fucking amazing




    C                   G               Am          F
but don't you dare push play on that record player before
 C              G                      Am               F
you can give me one good reason not to walk out of this door

Bm                   C              Am         G           F
drive your car up to oro valley and burn every store I can find
  C                        G                   Am               F
because these days it just seems like the best thing that I can try
      C              G         Am         F
is to never leave my house for weeks at a time
Bm             C            Am      G       F                  
so nobody asks how I am and I don't have to lie

If you wish to be the boss, you could substitute the "F" chord for a "D"




Am                       G        F
I swear every song is a prophesy or it's
Am                        G          F
a promise we have to live up to before it's 
Am                          G         F
even worth the time that it took to record it
         Am                        G           F
because I don't want to be another asshole on tour because
    Am                G           F
I'm too lazy to go to work in the morning
      Am                             G         F
and I guess that's true but this has got to be more than 
   Am                    G            F
a bomb shelter for us to ride out the war in
    Am                           G           F
I'd sooner kiss these ruins than fucking ignore them




    C                   G           Am      F
but don't you dare give up on us or anarchy before
C                G              Am            F
you can name one government not rotten to its core
Bm              C             Am          G           F
when this world finally burns who will be holding the torch?
C                  G                   Am          F
these days it just seems like the best thing I can try
      C             G        Am         F
is to never go back home for weeks at a time 
Bm                    C                   Am      G       F
so the landlord don't ask for the rent and I dont have to lie
