THE SONG:
G# A G# A
Crying parents tell their children
If you survive don't do as we did
A son exclaims there'll be nothing to do to
Her daughter says she'll be dead with you
While foreign affairs are screwing us rotten
Line morale has hit rock bottom
Dying embers stand forgotten
Talks of peace were being trodden
A E F#7
Stand or fall state your peace tonight
Stand or fall state your peace tonight
Is this the value of our existence
Should we proclaim with such persistence
Our destiny relies on conscience
Red or blue what's the difference
Stand or fall state your peace tonight
Stand or fall state your peace tonight
An empty face reflects extinction
Ugly scars divide the nation
Desecrate the population
There will be no exaltation
(This line is all F#7)
Its the euro theatre
Its the euro theatre
Its the euro theatre
Stand or fall state your peace tonight
Stand or fall state your peace tonight
Its the euro theatre
Its the euro theatre
Its the euro theatre
Its the euro theatre
Listen to the song to get the rhythm right.
Note that when The Fixx plays this, the G#-A progression is played like this:
----4----0-------|
----4----5-------|
----5----6-------|
----6----7-------|
-----------------|
-----------------|
However, if you're like me, that progression has a tendency to make your hand cramp up,
I play it like this:
----4----0-------|
----4----2-------|
----5----2-------|
----6----2-------|
-----------------|
-----------------|
Also, the little lick after that is relatively easy, so during the song you can play:
----4----0-------0---0-0-2-2-----|
----4----2-----2-----------------|
----5----2-----------------------|
----6----2-----------------------|
---------------------------------|
