Protest Song

protest song by great big sea

capo on 4

chorus :

G C G
does the world really need another protest song?
Em C D
sing about everything going wrong
G C G
the revolution has come and gone
Em C D G
does the world really need another protest song?

verse :

Em D/F# G C
i want to sing for singing’s own sake ,
C Am
i want to carry a tune .
Em D/F# G C
no message to give , no message to take ,
C D G
a melody will do .

[ chords for the rest of the song continue as above . . . . ]

does the world really need another protest song?
sing about everything going wrong
the revolution has come and gone
does the world really need another protest song?

i want a rhythm that moves my feet
wild as the river runs .
i’ve never wanted to march to the beat
of somebody else’s drum .

does the world really need another protest song?
sing about everything going wrong
the revolution has come and gone
does the world really need another protest song?

i’ll tell you a story with this old guitar ,
just three chords and the truth .
every good story is laced up with lies ,
and the best of those lies are half truth

does the world really need another protest song?
sing about everything going wrong
the revolution has come and gone
does the world really need another protest song?

does the world really need another protest song?
sing about everything going wrong
the revolution has come and gone
does the world really need another protest song?
does the world really need another protest song?
