Another Age

Am                            
There's a man walking round the 
                E     Am  E Am
island with a snake cane
Am                                 
He picked it up in Thailand from a 
E  Am     E Am
hurricane
        C                   G
And you know he's not gonna go there
                       F  G
He's been one time too long
                     C    Am
Now all the gods are gone

Am                                 
The younger boys are drowning in a 
E       Am  E Am
shallow sea
Am                              E
The night belongs to snipers in 
    Am    E Am
palm trees
           C                 
And their sabres flashed like 
 G
lightning
                          F    G
In the charge of the last brigade
                     C
They must have been afraid

E
Soldiers have their sorrow
    F
The wretched have their rage
Dm                         G
Pray for the aged it's the dawn of 
another age
            Am
Of another age
            C
Of another age
            Am
Of another age

The blood running down the 
                  E     Am     E Am
blackboard on a blank screen
Am                                
The convicts shake their cages of 
   E  Am   E Am
a bad dream
             C              
And they'll coach you in the 
 G
classroom
                      F   G
That it cannot happen here
                    C
But it has happened here

Am                        E    
I remember nothing that I 
Am   E Am
memorized
Am                        E     
I got my education from a black 
Am  E Am
eye
            C                 G
And they'll teach you law and order
                          F   G
If you dare to raise your hand
          C
Spare the glove and spoil the man
E
Soldiers have their sorrow
    F
The wretched have their rage
Dm                         G
Pray for the aged it's the dawn of 
another age
           Am
Of another age

Thomas Paine and Jesse James are 
E   Am     E Am
old friends
Am                              E
And Robin Hood is riding on the 
    Am   E Am
road again
        C        G
We were born in a revolution
                        F  G
And we died in a wasted war
                   C      Am
It's gone that way before

Am                                
The dogs are chasing chicken bones
  E         Am  E Am
 across the lawn
Am                             E 
If that was an election, I'm a 
   Am  E Am
Viet Cong
              C                    
So I pledge allegiance against the 
G
flag
                          F    G
and the flaw for which it stands
                   C
I'll raise it if I can
E
Soldiers have their sorrow
    F
The wretched have their rage
Dm                         G
Pray for the aged it's the dawn of 
another age
