Start Jamming...
I'm not sure [G]
you're [C] interested in the geographical
Yeah, there's always these.
I should play a game also.
Anyway, so I was introduced to this song, the first verse sort of deals slightly with the cult of celebrity,
which is a, [Eb] I think it's a modern phenomenon, where people [D] are on [G] TV and as such [C] are deemed [Eb] interesting
and people take an interest in their [C] lives.
But the reason they [Bb] are on TV in the first place is [D] seemingly anyone's guess.
[Em] [D]
Because actually [B] underneath it all they're deeply [Cm] uninteresting people.
I can remember being a kid growing up and the people who were famous were famous because they were kind [C] of better than we were.
Like, you know, you can never write songs like The Beatles.
[Em] You can never be as kind of cool and swaggery as [D] The Stones.
[Am]
You can [D] never be as suave [Db] as Humphrey Bogart or as good [C] looking as William Hepburn.
Not that I particularly wanted to be a [E] little like William Hepburn.
[N] I don't know.
I've had my moments, you know.
That's another story for another [C] show.
So, um, [G] and so I was saying all this stuff about, you know, because nowadays [C] people are famous for being famous
and [D] not because they're particularly good at [G] anything.
And somebody shouted something out.
[G]
And it was a [D] word that I hadn't [C] heard before.
[G] And I was [C] wondering, I thought it maybe sounds like a Korean [Abm] automobile [C]
manufacturer
or I thought [Em] maybe it was like one of those sort [Eb] of Central Asian [Bb] tribes
that would [Ab] sweep across the plains destroying [D] everything in its path.
But [Eb] apparently it's none of those things.
But the word that they said was the word Kardashian.
[G]
And I thought maybe, [Eb] as I said, maybe everyone in [C]
[G] the Caucasus in [D] the 1600s were terrified of the advancing Kardashians.
[Em]
[C]
[G] [Gm] And I still have no [F] idea what the word means.
[Bb] [Cm]
I think I was wrong [C] on all parts.
So I thought that has very little [B] relevance to [Ab] this song in particular.
[G]
[D] I feel like we're sharing.
We're bonding, right?
[Em] [D]
[C] So this is actually a song [Bb] about the modern age.
Some of the dangers and pitfalls of the [G] modern age.
And some [Ab] interesting and [G] fulfilling ways of coping.
This is called The Hellwood War.
[D]
[Em]
[C]
[D] [Em]
[Bm] [Em]
[C]
Tightfaces scream from [D] their bright magazine.
[Em] They've got their fingernails clamped to the [C] page.
[G]
With the look of the born to [D] be paying for the ordinary.
[Em]
Caught so [D] desperately.
[C] [G] [C] There's no stories [G] to tell but there's [D] a spokesperson yelling.
[Em] The phone rings, drowned [C] out your voice.
Saying justice be done, there's [D] a change gonna come.
But [Em] it's secret [D] and you won't have a choice.
[C]
[G]
So [C] the hell with the world, I still [D] love you my girl.
[Em] You've been crazy to stay by [C] my side.
So let's stand and let's sing and there [D] are beautiful things if [Em] you know.
[D] Places [C] they can hide.
[G]
[C] All my bands playing cheating ain't [D] nothing to you.
But [Bm] you can [Em] dance and get along with the devil you [C] know.
All along I was told to [D] keep my head above the water.
[Em] But I might just [D] prefer it [C] below.
Yes I'm made with the greatest of [D] heroes.
And having [Em] stories that nobody [C] hears.
Yes I'm made with songs that could [D] have brought you to life.
But they [Em] weren't allowed to [D] come close to your [C] ear.
[G]
So the [C] hell with the world, I [D] still love you my girl.
You've [Em] been crazy to [C] stay by my side.
So let's stand and let's sing and there [D] are beautiful things if you [Em] know.
[D] Places [C] they can hide.
And [B] they'll hide from you [C] darling.
They will [G] far away from [Gb] the changing [Em] raging.
[D] [C] There's a light, there's a right tonight.
[D]
Isn't [Bm] as dark as it seems.
[Em]
[D] [C]
[Em]
[C]
[D]
[Em]
[G]
[C] [D]
[Bm]
[C]
So when victory comes.
At too [D] heavy a price.
Will this [Em] honor and truth seem to float.
[C] [G]
Like the boy who was given the [D] keys to a world.
And [Em]
decided to [D] sleep in [C] the street.
[G]
So [C] the hell with the world, I [D] still love you my girl.
[Bm] You've [Em] been crazy to stay by my [C] side.
[G]
So let's stand and let's sing and there are [D] these beautiful things if you [Em] know.
[D] Places [C] they can hide.
