Billy Bragg - I Will Be Your Shield Chords

[Intro]
Em    G

Em    G
D
 
[Verse 1]
 
    Em            G    D
When things start to unravel
    Em        G          D
And days fill you with dread
    Am       G            D
And comments dent your confidence
   Bm           C
Confide in me instead
     Em    G         D
When every little setback
     Em        G         D
Just makes you want to cry
        Am          G          D
And the whole world seems against you
Bm                 B    C
And you don't know why
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       G       D
In the battle against your demons
C    G           D
I, I will be your shield
        C                  G
And the world has lost all meaning
       D             Em       C
Together, we'll stand for our love
           G            D
Is the one thing that's real
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
     Em             G      D
When pressure wrought by changes
  Em        G      D
Becomes too much to bear
    Am         G        D
And pain stops you from functioning
Bm                C
Trust in me to care
         Em       G        D
When the world beyond your doorstep
    Em      G        D
No longer makes much sense
    Am          G       D
And hostile thoughts suround you
     Bm             B       C
I'll come to your defence
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       G       D
In the battle against your demons
C    G           D
I, I will be your shield
        C                  G
And the world has lost all meaning
       D             Em       C
Together, we'll stand for our love
           G            D
Is the one thing that's real
 
 
[Bridge]
               Am
I will be your shield
                        C
When the angry wave are pounding
               G
I will be your shield
                           D
When the wind whips up the shore
               Am
I will be your shield
                          C
When you hear the thunder sounding
        G                  D
And the rain beats on your door
               Am
I will be your shield
 
[Outro]
