Song For Next May Day

C F C F C F Am G


[Verse 1]
C                       F C
  They stole everything
                   F C
And locked it away
                          F
So we'll smash everything
Am              G
  That's in the way
C            F C
  Of a world
                              F C
Where we can stand to breathe
                  F
Without giving up
Am                G
 What being human means


[Chorus]
         C        G       Am      
We can't wait for someone else to 
G         F                Fm
write the songs that we'll sing on 
the barricades
C    G       Am     G       F 
Or until the last police is 
                Fm
gone to keep each other safe
C        G          Am      G  
We can't wait until we know we 
       F        Fm
aren't wrong to raise the stakes

         C        G       Am      
We can't wait for someone else to 
G         F                Fm
write the songs that we'll sing on 
the barricades


[Instrumental]
C D Em G F


[Bridge]
           C            G         
And I meet people everyday who can
        Am                     F
 barely bring themselves to believe
         C             G     F
That the sun is coming up again
       C           G             
I meet people everyday who can't 
Am                     F
bring themselves to believe
         C              G
That the world is gonna change
                              C
As if it's ever done anything else

  They stole everything

So we'll smash everything
Am              G
  That's in the way
C           F C
  Of a life
                              F C
Where we can stand to breathe
                  F
Without giving up
