Chords for Myles Kennedy: Get Along - Live At The Fox (Official Video)

_ [E] _ _ [Am] _ Get Along.
[E] That's a fascinating track in the sense
that it was written [A] _ in late March, [Am] early April,
as the record was just starting to take shape.
I [G] came [Am] up with the chord progression
and had [A] the da-da-na-na-na [Abm]-na-na-na,
kind of like in stride,
or something that I [Am] had sitting around for a while.
[G] I'd written that on the road, that [G] part,
[A] but I needed to build a song around it.
[F] The [D] first lyric that happened was,
why [Am] can't we all just get [Em] along?
And [C] _ that [Em] came from,
[F] _
not [E] intentionally,
but I think I probably heard that [Am] back in the 90s.
I [C] think it was a press conference, maybe,
that Rodney King had said that,
[F]
and so it became kind of this [D] mantra
for _ [C] that time period.
So [G] the lyric was inspired by that,
by the unrest in [D]
Los Angeles back [A] in the early 90s.
Having no idea what was [C] just around the bend
in [G] the United States in the [D] summer of 2020.
Things were gonna get pretty [A] heated.
So I think people probably will hear that song go,
oh, it was written about all the unrest of 2020.
[Am] No, in fact, I was concerned as [E] the song was being written
that it wasn't gonna have any relevance
[Am] because it was [Em] about something that had happened
[C] 30 years prior, but [Am] it turned out to be prophetic.
It was just like,
[D] _ _ obviously there [Am] are still a lot of open [C] wounds,
a lot of things that need to be addressed. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] I still remember [C] just like it was yesterday,
_ _ [F] the moment the [A] gavel brought the fires and the rain.
_ [Am] Now it stands to reason that [C] in time we'd see a change,
[F] but the more things keep on shifting [A] around,
the more they stay the same.
_ _ _ [G] Please don't [C] tell me that it's [G] over.
It breaks my [A] heart.
I fear we'll never make amends.
Where [C] is the love within [G] these borders?
When will [A] this end?
_ _ _ Why can't we all just get along?
_ _ [E] _ Why can't we all [A] just get [A] along?
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ Our father said, [Am] son, you'd [C] better keep this truth in [F] mind.
If we come back [A] together, we might all get out [Am] alive.
But the war that is [C] raging between the hearts of [F] men
for our ideas not worth saving
[A] might just break us in the end.
[C] With empty words we [G] keep on fighting.
We're only [A] getting weaker because we're too [E] headstrong.
[Em] When [A] there is no real way of [G] deciding
who's right or [D] wrong.
_ _ _ [E] Why can't we all just get [A] along? _
[Am] _ _ [Em] Why [A] can't we all just get [A] along? _
_ [E] _ _ _ You're either ignorant or blind.
_ _ I thought we left this shit behind.
_ _ So tell me I don't belong.
Don't insist you're right or wrong.
Yes, surrender, fuck or what?
_ [Em] _ [E] _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] Well, empty [C] words we [G] keep on fighting.
We're only [A] getting weaker because we're too [E] headstrong. _
When [C] there is no real way of [G] deciding
who's right or [D] wrong.
_ _ [Em] Why can't we all just get along?
[Am] _ _ [Em] _ Why can't [E] we all just get [E] along?
_ [Am] _ _ Why can't we all just [A] get along?
[Am] Why _ [Em] _ can't we [E] all just get along? _ _ _ _ _ _
