Chord/Tab song: Cannons

Not entirely happy with this but let me know what you think :) - Hayley x

[A] [G]
Look alive
Pick a side
Draw a line
In the sand
You're just the band

They[D] treat us like we're extras in an [C]epic

They [D]treat us like we're mud on their boo[C]ts

They [Bb]leave us on the stretchers when the [C]credits roll

Re[D]treating safely to instit[C]utes

Where dinner [D]party military fo[C]rces

Toast them[D]selves with the blood of us a[C]ll

[Bb]Smashing regimes between co[C]urses

Chanting edu[D]cation, education and [C]war

[A] [G] We're gonna need a lot more cannons

[A] [G] We're gonna need a lot more cannons


[A] [D] If you wanna be h[G]ome by Christmas
[A] [D] If we're gonna be [G]home by Christmas

I [F]know there is another way

If you[C] want to see their face again

And I k[Am]now they feel the same way

over [Em]there

[D]They're making all the difficult de[C]cisions

Put[D] politicians and childre[C]n first

[Bb]Followed by their personal phy[C]sicians who say

You will be [D]happy if you expect the [C]worst

Armed with [D]paper straws and a [C]bible

Lamps are going [D]out across

department [C]stores

You will be [Bb]issued with a rifle

on ar[C]rival chaps

For edu[D]cation, education and [C]war

[A] [G] We're gonna need a lot more cannons

[A] [G] We're gonna need a lot more cannons


[A] [D] If you wanna be h[G]ome by Christmas
[A] [D] If we're gonna be [G]home by Christmas

I [F]know there is another way

If you[C] want to see their face again

And I k[Am]now they feel the same way

over [Em]there

I [F]know there is another way

If you[C] want to see their face again

And I k[Am]now they feel the same way

over [Em]there

Show us the way to go
Hell or heaven help us
Show us the way to go
Save our souls
Show us the way back home
Save our souls
Show us the way to go
