Cease Fire

D
So rested he by the tumtum tree
G
Is that the prosecutor or the 
defence attorney?
A
Said he "The system is working" and 
we had to agree,
D                   A
It's working all too well

D
At last he got up and readied 
himself to leave
G
And we all shook our heads in shared
 disbelief
A                                 
Coz we swore that this would never
        D
 happen again


[Chorus]
                G
We got to cease fire
                D
We got to cease fire
                A
We got to cease fire
before we all just shoot ourselves 
D
away


[Verse 2]
D
If it were a different town, if it 
was the other way around
Continúa después del anuncio
G
If it was a white boy that lay still
 on the ground
A                                 
Would there be any difference? 
                       D
Would there be a trial then?

D
Until the fire hose is beaten back 
by the rain
G
Until all our colour is more or less
 the same
A                                 
Until we can't stand to see 
                         D
another father by his child's grave


[Chorus]
                G
We got to cease fire
                D
We got to cease fire
                A
Got to cease fire
before we all just shoot ourselves 
D
away

             G
Yeah can we cease fire?
                D
We got to cease fire
             A
Can we cease fire?
before we all just shoot ourselves 
D
away

G
Oooooooo
Bm
Oooooooo
A
Oooooooo
D
Ooh

             G
Can we cease fire?
                D
We got to cease fire
             A
Can we cease fire?
before we all just shoot ourselves 
D
away

             G
Can we cease fire?
                Bm
We got to cease fire
             A
Can we cease fire?
before we all just shoot ourselves 
D
away
