Four Score And Seven by Titus Andronicus
Four Score And Seven
C F C
This is a war we can't win
C F C G
After 10,000 years, it's still us against them
F C Em F
And my heroes have always died at the end
C F C
So who's going to account for these sins?
C F C
And I don't know who here is my friend
C F C G
Well, I'm certain that I've seen only men
F C Em F
Christ, fuck me if I can remember when
C F C
Will I never be lonely again?
C F C
Well the tides are a-turnin' once more
C F C G
Six dark-winged devils line up at my door
F C Em F
Each one is more evil than that which came before
C F C
Seven angels find me spread across the floor
Interlude 1: F C F C F C G F (x2)
C F C
You'd like everyone to believe you're a star
C F C G
And I'll admit that it's worked out pretty well so far
F C Em F
But when they see the kind of person that you really are
C F C F
Then you won't be laughing so hard
C F C F (same for the rest of this bit)
No, you won't be laughing so hard!
No, you won't be laughing
You won't be laughing
No, you won't be laughing
You won't be laughing
No, you won't be laughing so hard
Interlude 2: F C F C F C G F (x4)
C F C G C F C G C
C C C F F F C C C GGG C C C F F F C G C
C N.C. C F
We're all depraved and disgusting I spew like a fountain,
C N.C. C G
And debased, defaced, disgraced and destroyed,
C N.C. C F
Most of all disappointed I say atop this mountain
C G C
As I urinate into the void
C F
Fuck I'm frustrated, freaking out something fierce
C G
Would you help me, I'm hungry, I suffer and I starve
C F
Oh I struggle and I stammer 'till I'm up to my ears
C G C
In miserable quote unquote awe.
C F
But however since our forefathers came on this land
C G
We've been coddling those we should be running through
C F
Please don't wait around for them to come and shake hands
C G C
They're not gonna be waiting for you
C F
'Cause these humans treat humans like humans treat hogs
C G
They get used up, coughed up, and fried in a pan
C F
But I wasn't born to die like a dog,
C G Am
I was born to die just like a man
C F C G
I was born to die just like a man!
Continue C F C G chord progression,
Before vocals start again it goes to just C F
C F
It's still us against them, it's still us against them (x a bunch)
Dm
And they're winning
G
They're winning!
Ending: C F C F C F C F C G C

Csus4
Csus4 C
There'll be no more counting the cars on the garden state parkway
Csus4 C
Nor waiting for the Fung Wah bus to carry me to who-knows-where
Csus4 C
And when I stand tonight, 'neath the lights of the Fenway
Csus4 C
Will I not yell like hell for the glory of the Newark Bears?
Csus4 C
'Cause where I'm going to now, no one can ever hurt me
Csus4 C
Where the well of human hatred is shallow and dry
Csus4 C
No, I never wanted to change the world, but I'm looking for a new New Jersey
C Am Csus4
'Cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to die

Verse 2
C
Csus4 E5
I'm doing 70 on 17, I'm doing 80 over 84
C Csus4
And I'll never let the Meritt Parkway magnetize me no more
E5
Give me a brutal Somerville summer, give me a cruel New England winter
C Csus4
Give me the great Pine Barrens so I can see them turned into splinters
Csus4
'Cause if I come in on a donkey
E5
Let me go out on a gurney
C Csus4
I want to realize too late I never should have left New Jersey

Slide occasionally from 3 to 20, slowly, as riff builds
Csus4
I sense the enemy
They're rustling around in the trees
Oh, I thought I had gotten away
But they followed me to 02143
Woe, woe is me
No one knows the trouble I see
When they hang Jeff Davis from a sour apple tree
I'll sit beneath the leaves and weep
None of us shall be saved
Every man will be a slave
For John Brown's body lies a'mouldring in the grave
And there's rumblings down in the cave
So if it's time for choosing sides
And to show this dirty city how we do the Jersey Slide
And if it deserves a better class of criminal
Then I'm'a give it to them tonight
So we'll rally around the flag, rally around the flag
Rally around the flag, boys, rally once again, shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom
Rally around the flag, rally around the flag
Glory, glory, hallelujah, His truth is marching on
