Is This Art
===========
Written by The Levellers, from their eponymously titled, third album.

Quite an easy song to strum along to (even I can play it). The chords are the
same throughout, with some Em C in between. No tabbing for me though.
Intro
-----
Em C x4
Em
They took me to the battlefield
C
And I saw the mushroom clouds
Em
I said "I can see the colours
C
Even when my head is bowed"
Em
They showed me the destruction
C
The slaughter a la carte
Am G D
And isn't nature wonderful,
Em C Em C
But is this art?
They took me to the hospital
And pulled aside the sheet,
Said "Look at that pulsating there
Just listen to the beat"
They showed me the incision
Then took away the heart
And isn't nature wonderful,
But is this art?
They took me to the scientist,
who opened up a phial
Said "This is only chicken pox
And rhino bile."
They showed me what it did to mice
And this is just the start
And isn't nature wonderful,
But is this art?
They took me to the tenement
And kicked down the door
Said "Have you ever seen the copulation
As practiced by the poor
We select the ones to breed now
Then we reject the part
And isn't nature wonderful,
But is this art?
And isn't nature wonderful,
But is this art?
