Awakening Americans

Ton: E major



E                                
We watch movies of murder and we 
A
censor the breast
E                                
Give thanks for the murders of Chris
A
 Columbus
E                                
We kill our own and we vote for the 
A
man
E                                
The lesser of evils and us starring 
A
in the role of victim


B                            A
I wonder how we change if we can in 
this land
B                               A
I wonder how many mountains we'd 
move if we band together
G             D       E
Us priveleged Americans


E                              A
We pass our revisions onto the next 
generation
E                        A
We kneel to the gods of corporation
E                      A
We eat when we're full and we hord 
all the rest
E                       A
With our hands on remotes we say 
"Yes, we're the best!"


B                                 
I wonder what we'd change in this 
A
land cause we can
B                                 
Even with western centricity this 
A
rampant
G       D        E
Us ugly Americans


F#dim           E
Tied are not my hands
F#dim           E
But see strangers and lineaments
F#dim           G
As part of me; as you
            B                E
For me this awakening Canadian


E                        
We teach our offspring for 
   A
themselves; every man
E                           A
We shrug our shoulders and create 
yet another "ism"
E                           A
We dissuade our young from using 
their imagination
E                           A
We avert our eyes from this Our very
 own manifestation


B                                 
I wonder what will change in this 
A
land, cause we can
B                                 
I wonder how many mouths we'd fill 
A
if we band together
   G        D         E...
Us awakening Americans


CODA ( GUITAR ): G   D   E... and 
stop.
