Original Song

lyrics

[D] There’s an acid [D7] flavor to the [G] wind
It’s [G] certain a sour [A] rain’s gonna [D] fall
We should face the brewing [D7] storm with a [G] grin
Ya know [A7] history [G] will surely forget us [D] all

Don’t [A7] lie for us mother [D] angel
Don’t [A7] break your fragile [D] wings
We can’t [G] bear to watch them [A] mangle
and [G] pull at [A7] your heart [D] strings

[D] We left the [D7] comfort of yours [G] arms
To [G] find some [A] purpose on are [D] own
The world our fathers [D7] left us a[G]larms
And [A7] assaults our [G] senses to the [D] bone

Chorus

The [G] tune we marched to was [D] anger
[G] Anger with the crimes of our [A7] clan
We can [D] try and face the [G] danger
To [A7] reach the hearts of [D] man

Verse break

[D] Mother angel I [D7] miss you every[G]day
Your strength is [A] with me on the [D] road
We will ride the [D7] wind to find our [G] way
And [A7] write the [G] lines to our own [D] code

Chorus

Don’t [G] lie for us mother [D] angel
Don’t [G] break your fragile [A] wings
We can’t [G] bear to watch them [D] mangle
and [A7] pull at [G] your heart [D] strings
