xHere is a song called For Pat. Written by Anti-Flag's Justin Sane in his solo
album , Life, Love, And the Pursuit of Justice.
The lyrics are great, the chords are kinda the same all over the song...
I feel like this should be an acoustic song, even though Justin did it overdriven-
electric-guitar way. Which si kinda fun too with that song on an acoustic guitar
is that with a capo on first, it because an very easy open-chords song.

Still, Justin Sane's last meal before he recorded that song wasn't necessarily
made by Justin Sane himself. An d he probably doesn't remember anyway. It's kinda
sad we'll never know...
A# D# A#
Walking these streets all by myself
D# A# F
I don't care about anybody else
A# D# A#
'Cause sometimes don't you know that I just feel that way
D# F A#
And sometimes I'm just so ready to strike out!
F
And the people sit and stare
D# A#
From their main street terraces
D# A# F
And coffee shops as I pass by
A#
But they never say "Hello"
D# A#
'cause they could never understand
D# F A#
All the foreign concepts in my mind
N/C A# D# A#
You see I'm thinking of a world
D# F
Where people stop and think for themselves
A# D# A#
And I'm thinking of a world,
D# F
Where people wouldn't fuck you for money
A#5
And I know,
A#5/A
it's just a dream,
G5
But it's one I won't let go
G5/F D#
'cause I'm so tired of getting fucked
F
By you and you,
A# D# F
And you and you...
A# D#///F xxxxx F
A# D# A#
Priorities prioritized in sickening ways
D# A# F
By the capitalist pushers of the world
A# D# A#
As the yuppies and the bankers of this neighbourhood
D# F A#
Drive in F.U.V's to work
A#
And I think to myself,
D# A# D# A# F
"What a success these 'excess junkies' are!"
A# D#
And I'm sure the homeless and those with no health
A# D# F A#
Care would surely concur
N/C A# D# A#
You see I'm thinking of a world
D# F
Where people stop and think for themselves
A# D# A#
And I'm thinking of a world,
D# F
Where people wouldn't F you for money
A#5
And I know,
A#5/A
it's just a dream,
G5
But it's one I won't let go
G5/F D#
'cause I'm so tired of getting fucked
F
By those of you... who
A# D# F
Protect their conscience,
A# D# F
By saying that it's only business
A# D# F
Protect your conscience,
A# D# F
By saying that is just the way it is
D# D C A A#
Because it's not the way it has to fuckin' be!
Have fun!
And watch Barbet Schroeer's 1969 movie ''More''. It's delightful.
