• F#

: F#    D#    F#    B     (2x) 
F#                              D#                       F#         B 
All your glorious battles, what did they amount to, what did they prove? 
F# 
All for your pride of country, 
D#                              F#              B 
All for your sacred democracy, rival national myths. 
F#                               D#             F#        B 
All for your rich ancestry of warmongers, you hailed as heroes. 
 F# 
Don't believe in your jingoistic pride, 
       D#                     F#    B 
That fuels your imperialistic genocide  
                                                                          Riff 
Riff                                          E|-x--x--x--x--x--| 
When all I cry for  is Anarchy                                    B|-x--2--x--x--x--| 
Riff                           G|-4--x--4--3--4--| 
When all I plea for is to be free.                    D|-x--x--x--x--x--| 
Riff                                     A|-2--2--2--2--2--| 
Their slavery will never get the best of me.                      E|-x--x--x--x--x--| 
Riff 
Their restrictions will never imprison me 
Riff 
Their poisons will never disable me. 
Riff 
Love is the force that drives me. 

F#                                     D#              F#       B 
A better world will emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past. 
    F#                                             D# 
Considering tens of millions lost their lives in conflict, 
                F#           B 
Surely it’s not too much to ask? 
 F# 
Wars of religion, nationalism, 
         D#                                    F#         B 
made all the more devastating by advances in perverted science. 
F#                                   D# 
Led the innocent to early deaths, soldiers to shallow graves. 
 F#               B 
How can you sleep at night? 

Riff 
When all I cry for is to be free. 
Riff 
When all I plea for is Anarchy. 
Riff 
Their slavery will never get the best of me. 
Riff 
Their restrictions will never imprison me. 
Riff 
Their poisons will never disable me. 
Riff 
Love is the force that drives me. 
Riff 
Hatred will never overtake me.
