(ver. 1)
Grant-Lee Phillips
[Intro]
Em  Bm  C
Em  Bm  C
Em  Bm  C
 
[Verse 1]
Em                              Bm                     C
tyranny steps lightly, sets one foot before the next
Em                                     Bm                   C
you never hear the marchin', 'till its coming up the steps
Em                        Bm                    C
the temporary majors of a nation in distress
Em                                Bm              C
a choice between two evils one of (..  ...) your regret
 
[Interlude]
Em  Bm  C
Em  Bm  C
 
[Verse 2]
Em                            Bm                  C
and tyranny advances like the darker deed of night
Em                                 Bm                  C
when it's for the greater good you don't put up a fight
Em                                 Bm                  C
you're blind at the beginning, you can not see the end
Em                                  Bm           C
this is the near side of this here ordinary man
 
[Chorus]
    Am                    G      Dsus4/F#
and then,  a great accelleration
Am                      G      Dsus4/F#
    to the beating of a drum
Am                  G       Dsus4/F#
    the afwull recognition
   C              G
of all you have become
 
[Interlude]
Em  Bm  C
Em  Bm  C
 
[Verse 3]
    Em                          Bm              C
and tyranny speaks calmly as it offers up a deal
Em                     Bm                   C
even as it presses you underneath its heels
Em                       Bm                   C
a temporary major do you wonder what it meant?
Em                            Bm             C
what you have surrendered to,    without the discent?
 
[Chorus]
    Am                    G      Dsus4/F#
and then,  a great accelleration
Am                     G      Dsus4/F#
   to the beating of a drum
Am                  G       Dsus4/F#
    the afwull recognition
   C              G
of all you have become
   C              G
of all you have become
 
[Outro]
