Capo I, Shuffle
VERSE 1
C#m
Headlights, white lines, black tar rivers
F#m A E F#m
Dragging me around this country as it withers
C#m
The billboards, signposts, standing in our way
F#m A E F#m
Tell of the state of nations, that we find today
CHORUS:
A E D
And we'll play and we'll play and we'll play
A E D
To every day, every day, every day
A
To Every day...
VERSE 2:
C#m
In the front rooms of old towns far from the city
F#m A E F#m
With beaten up guitars and hearts full of pity
C#m
The people gather round singing songs from everywhere
F#m A E F#m
Torn from the nation, left without a care
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
F#m E F#m A
And we’ll rid the bloody world for a moment in a word
F#m E
Yes we'll rid the bloody world, cos
D A
The words that you heard when you were young will always stay
E D A
The one's that always stay make the world go away... go away
VERSE 3:
C#m
Warm night, clear sky, European town
F#m A E F#m
Outside the bar, singing their hearts out to a crowd
C#m
Open boots, violin, banjo and a voice
F#m A E F#m
Exiled buskers, happy with their choice
