Purity

Am  G  F  F  C  G

[Verse 1]
    Am         F           G     
The rains move eastward in waves 
   C
of succession
Am                F              E
Drawing lines of grey across the sky
     Am               F         G
With history just as close as a 
           C
hand on the shoulder
   Am          F            E
In hunger and impatience we cry
    Am             F          G  
The battle against corruption 
           C
rages in each corner
      Am                F     
There must be something better, 
            E
something pure
        Am         F              
And the call it is answered from 
   G            C
the caves to the cities
         Am          F           
Come the dealers of Salvation on 
E
Earth

[Verse 2]
      Am                 F        
We've seen the restless children 
     G            C
at the head of the columns
        Am         F               
Come to purify the future with the 
E
arrogance of youth
Am             F        
Nothing is as cruel as the 
    G                C
righteousness of innocents
     Am          F           E
With automatic weapons and a gospel 
of the truth

[Chorus]
E              D      C         
Revolution for ever, succession 
       B
of the seasons

  C                 G         
Within the blood of Nature, all 
   F                 E
raised to rot and die
     F       E
This purity, purity is a lie

[Verse 3]
     Am           F        
Now immaculate conception in 
   G          C
sterilised laboratories
Am       F          E
How the vanity goes on
          Am             F        
Or in the message of the preacher 
         G          C
with his morals and obsessions
    Am           F          E
The wars that we wage upon ourselves
G                   F
Purity is a virtue, purity is an 
angel
Am                            E
Purity is for madmen to make fools 
of us all
   Am                   F         
So forgive yourself my friend, all
  G                C
 this will soon be over
     Am              F      
What happened here tonight is 
  E
nothing at all

[Chorus]
E              D      C         
Revolution for ever, succession 
       B
of the seasons
   C                 G        
Within the blood of Nature, all 
    F                 E
raised to rot and die
     F       E
This purity, purity is a lie

       Am         F               
I will always see Brendan at that 
G           C
broken down piano
     Am               F    E
His fingers thick and red, shaking 
on the keys
Am              F        G      
Battered by the years of alcohol
      C
 and working
       Am               F         
Still playing with the faith that 
      E
never leaves
    Am          F               G
So sit us down, buy us a drink, 
                C
tell us a good story
Am           F    E
Sing us a song we know to be true
  Am            F          G     
I don't give a damn that I never 
        C
will be worthy
Am           F      E
Fear is the only enemy that I still 
know
