A                       D
So tomorrow there will be another number
A                    D
For the one who had a name
A                    D
Desert wind and a perverse desire to win
A                  D
History buried in shame


A
All the beating drums
E
Celebration guns
F#m
The thunder and the laughter
D
The last thing they remember
A
All the beating drums
E
Celebration guns
F#m
The thunder and the laughter
D
The last thing they remember


A                           D
Then the next day how will you know your enemy
A                       D
By their colour or your fear
A                  D
One by one we can cage them in your freedom
A               D
Make them all disappear.


A                       D
Six hundred sixty six hundred sixty days
A               D
Two guards one uncharged
A                            D
This morning's paper's ink stains my fingers
A                       D
My hands grow darker everyday



A
All the beating drums
E
Celebration guns
F#m
The thunder and the laughter
D
The last thing they remember

Celebration guns
F#m
The thunder and the laughter
