Written In Anger

Em D Em D

[Verse 1]
Em
Hammersmith underpass, 7 p.m.
Em
Amongst all the drunkards and 
legions of men
  C          D         G         
A troubadour playing a song for 
   Em
the boys
C         D          G           
Busking a chorus, he silenced the 
 Em
noise
  C               D
A melody everyone heard
     C                      D
That somehow left people disturbed

[Verse 2]
Em
Crossing through town as the riots 
began
Em
The young man retires to an old 
Bedford van
    C           D         
His mattress is laid like a 
  G           Em
courtesan's bed
    C             D             G
The angst that he feels running 
           Em
wild in his head
    C                           
His voice and his heart could be 
 D
heard
       C                  D
Like a fire to ravage the world

[Chorus 1]
       G    D     Em
In the song I had written with anger
    C           D
And words I had spoken them true
          G  D        Em  
But their meaning, it barely 
                 C
resembles the feelings
   D
Or my point of view

[Verse 3]
Em
The fire in the furnace is sucked to
 its height
       Em
As the young man becomes a success 
overnight
C           D         G         
Filling out stadiums, grand 
    Em
concert halls
       C          D           
Whilst strangely around him was 
  G           Em
torture and war
C                D
Blissfully so unaware
         C                         
That the source of destruction was 
D
there

[Chorus 2]
       G    D     Em
In the song I had written with anger
    C           D
And words I had spoken them true
          G  D        Em  
But their meaning, it barely 
                 C
resembles the feelings
   D
Or my point of view
C              G
So look to yourself
C                 G
And find your own way
C             G      D/F# Em   
If bitterness climbs in-  side 
               D
it forms tidal waves
        C            D     G     
Let the last of your lines falter
   D/F#           Em
 before they're defined
        C            D        Em
Let the last of your words be kind

[Bridge]

[Verse 4]
Em
Trying to bring the old man back to 
life
    Em
His body is weak and no longer 
survives
    C             D       G      
The source of his anger replaced 
         Em
now with calm
C            D            G      
Some might believe he can do us 
  Em
no harm
    C                     D
But trauma will always be heard
       C                   D
As his message devours the world

[Chorus 3]
       G    D     Em
In the song I had written with anger
    C           D
And words I had spoken them true
          G  D        Em  
But their meaning, it barely 
                 C
resembles the feelings
   D
Or my point of view
C              G
So look to yourself
C                 G
And find your own way
C             G      D/F# Em   
If bitterness climbs in-  side 
               D
it forms tidal waves
        C            D     G     
Let the last of your lines falter
   D/F#           Em
 before they're defined
        C            D        Em
Let the last of your words be kind
        C            D        Em
Let the last of your words be kind
