[Em] [Eb]
In the shit house of shotgun, praying hands holding down
Only the hunter was hunted in this tin can town, tin can town
No stars in the black night, looks like the sky fell down
No sun in the daylight, looks like it's chained to the ground
The water's sad, [Ab] the exit's sold, [Bb] if you want a way out, [Gb] I'll shoot her
[Eb] Back [Ab]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] to the ceiling, [Ab]
[Eb] broken nose to the [Ab] floor
[Eb] I scream at the silence, [Ab] it's crawling, [Eb] it crawls under the door
[Ab]
[Eb] As I roll around my neck, it feels up, silver and [Ab] gold
[Eb] Yes, say something, I am so [Ab] poor, I am so [Eb] low, I am so low
[Ab]
[Eb] Captains and kings, [Ab] and the shithole, [Bb] came to collect [Gb]
silver [Bbm] and gold, [Ab]
silver and gold
Silver and gold, silver [Eb]
[Ebm] [Gb]
[Ab] [A]
[Gb] and
[Ab] gold
[A]
[Gb] Coming [Ab] in the garden
[Eb]
See them [Bb] [Eb] captains and kings, see them in their blue uniforms
See them riding shiny things, [Ab]
[Eb] yeah
[Ab]
The [Eb]
temperature is [Ab] rising,
[Eb] the people waiting hot
Mister, I ain't got [Ab]
[Eb] more than this, more than you got
Tell me, for I'm a band [Ab]-aid,
[Eb] not for a shackles in my pizza
Outside are the prisoners, [Ab]
[Eb] inside the free, set them free, set [Ab]
[Eb] them free
Fly a spider [Ab] in a porno, it's told, [Bb] get where it [Db] hurts
Silver [Eb] and gold, silver and gold
Yup,
[Ebm] silver and gold
This [Db]
[Ab] song was written in a hotel room in New York City
[Ebm] Right about the time a friend of ours, Little [Bb] Steven, was [Eb] putting together a [Ab] record of artists [Ebm] against apartheid
[Ab] [Ebm]
It's a song written about a man [Ab] in a shanty town [Ebm] outside of Johannesburg
A [Ab]
man who's sick, while looking down the [Ebm] barrel of white South Africa
A man [Ab] who is at the point where he is ready to take up arms against his [Ebm] oppressor
A [Abm] man who has lost faith in the peacemakers of the [Ebm] West
While they argue, and while they fail to [Ab] support a man like Bishop Tutu
[Ebm] And his request for economic sanctions against [Ab] South Africa
Am [Ebm] I bugging you?
I don't mean to bug [Abm] you
Okay Edge, play the blues
