capo on 7th fret!!! ( amy usually plays this song with a capo on that position )

G D C D G ( x2 ) ( that’s the intro )

Em D
i heard you sing a rebel song
Em D
sung it loud and all alone
Em D
we can’t afford the things you say
Em D
we can’t afford the warranty

Em
well i see you walking in the glare
D
down the county road we share
Em
our southern blood my heresy
D
damn that old confederacy

G D C
it took a long time to become the thing
D G
i Am to you
G D C
and you won’t tear it apart
C
without a fight
D Em
without a heart

Em D
i’m sorry for what you’ve learned ( learned )
when you feel the tables turned
to run so hard in your race ( race )
now you found who set the pace

Em
the lande aristocracy
D
exploiting all your enmity
Em
all your Daddy’s fought in vain
D
leave you with the mark of cain

it took a long time to become the thing
i Am to you and you won’t tear it apart
without a fight
without a heart

it took a long time to become you
become you

Em D
the center holds so they say
( it never held too well for me )
Em D
it never held too well for me
( the center holds so they say )
i won’t stop short of common ground
( that vilifies the trodden down )
that vilifies the trodden down
( i won’t stop )

Em
the center held the bonded slave
D
for the sake of industry ( ah )
Em
the center held the bloody hand
D
of the execution man ( ah )

it took a long time to become the thing
i Am to you and you won’t tear it apart
without a fight
without a heart

it took a long time to become you
become you

it took a long time to become you
become you
