Snakes And Snipers by John Edmond
Snakes And Snipers
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:G
Capo:no capo
[Verse]
G C D
G
We stood for what we know is right
Am
We stood against the red star's might
D G
We won the fight upon the battlefield
G
But then the politicians came
Am
And played a silent alien game
D G
They said that we should bend and we should yield
[Chorus]
G
And the snakes and snipers
C G
Plagued us in the bush
D
But they couldn't ever beat us with the sword
G
Now the snakes and snipers
C
Hide behind the pen
C D G
And try to get us with the written word
G C D
[Verse]
G
They say the pen is bold and free
Am
And mightier than the sword could be
D G
But puppets are the scribes that write the play
G
Those puppets do not know their lot
Am
They've never heard an angry shot
D G
And only write to earn a weekly pay
[Chorus]
G
And the snakes and snipers
C
Plagued us in the bush
G D
But they couldn't ever beat us with the sword
G
Now the snakes and snipers
C
Hide behind the pen
C D G
And try to get us with the written word
[Verse]
G
So write your periodicals,
Am
Sunday penny horribles
D G
And keep on sniping at us from afar
G
It takes much more than that to keep
Am
A troopie from his beauty sleep
D G
We're proud of what we did and what we are
[Chorus]
G C D
G
And the snakes and snipers
C
Plagued us in the bush
G D
But they couldn't ever beat us with the sword
G
Now the snakes and snipers
C
Hide behind the pen
C D G
And try to get us with the written word
