A Better Life

"Attention, battalion!
To rank right, face!
Forward, march!"

Em                        C
As fearless leader of the Ravenskill
 Militia
Em                      
The blood of warriors flows 
Am             D
throughout my veins
Em                        C      
My brother's gift remains my 
        Bm
secret ammunition
Em                         
It is our hope, our pride, a 
D          Dsus     D
catalyst for change
Am                 G          
Still the fires of revolution 
G/F#     Em      D
burn within my eyes
Am                       C        
On this perilous road to freedom, 
 D               D9
he's our one and only guide

Em
For many years, I've seen
C
Our people starve and suffer
Em                     Am        
How many more will die before we 
          D
stand and fight?

Em                        C      
They ask me "Arhys, could things 
        Bm
be any tougher?"
Em                         D     
The answer's no surprise: "Yes, 
     Dsus     D
you bet your life".
Am                 G          
Now the fires of revolution 
G/F#     Em      D
won't burn forever more
Am                       C    
I see liberty in our future, and 
     D               D9
it's one we're fighting for

Em      D         C        Bm
We all long for a better life
Em      D/F#            G      Am
Like a dream that can't be denied
Am          Bm      C          D
This is the moment, now is the time
B  C    B  C   B  C   B   C   B
Freedom if we live or if we die

Em    D/F#        G         D
I shall give him a better life
Em       Bm            C      Am
I swore this vow to my dying wife
Am           C         G
Sure, she would not survive
F          Em
Peacefully she slipped away
A
The meaning in my life
Was born that day
     B                             
And so I found the strength to 
 C       Am        A#
carry on with this crusade
 E/G#     F E
It is my fate.

Am                  G        
Evangeline, you lived a life of 
     F           Am
misery and pain
Am                   G       
Evangeline, I'll never let your 
     F            Em
memory die in vain
Em         G       F             
Evangeline, my heavy heart still 
Am
bleeds
Am              G             Em
I dedicate my life to set you free
   F         G                 Am
And I will carry on to plant the 
seeds
A#               C            
I promise in the name of our new 
    D
son;
A#                 Am             
This battle won't be over until it's
D
 won!
