xThe Chariot - The Cat Empire Tabbed by: fishy_sluggish Email: [email protected] Tuning:Normal [Verse 1] Em G This is a song that came upon me one night Am When the news it had been telling me C D About one more war and one more fight Em And 'aeh' I sighed but then G I thought about my friends Am Then I wrote this declaration C D Just in case the world end [Verse 2] Our guns Em G We shot them in the things we said Am Ah we didn't need no bullets C D Cos we rely on some words instead Em Kill someone in argument G Outwit them with our brains Am And we'd kill ourselves laughing C D At the funny things we'd say [Verse 3] And bombs Em G We had them saved for special times Am When the crew would call a shakedown C D We break down a party landmine Em Women that so sexy G They explode us with their looks Am Ah we blowing up some speakers C D Jumping round till the ground shook [Verse 4] And missiles Em G They were the roadtrips that we launched Am T-t-tripping across this island C D Starting missions at the break of dawn Em Yawn and smile say G What direction shall we take? Am Somewhere where it warm and wet C D This be the route we'd always take and [Chorus] Am Em Our weapons were our instruments G D C Made from timber and steel Am We never yielded to conformity Em But stood like kings G In a chariot that's riding on a D Record wheel e|--6-7-3---5-7-6-7-6-7-----6-7-3---5--------7-6-7-6-7-----6-7-3---5|

the sky Am Have a session while we're smoking C D Now we're feeling extra high Em And we'd sneak into a carpark G With the skaties on our back Am And we're flying down the levels howling C D On the attack now on the attack [Verse 6] And battles Em G They happened in these dancehalls Am See we'd rather fight with music C D Choosing one the rhythm war Em Battle at these shakedowns G And we battle at these gigs Am We do battle in our bedrooms C D Made some sweet love to the beat [Bridge] Em Then our allies grew G Wherever we would roam Am See whenever we're together C D Any stranger feel at home Em In a way we are an army G But this army not destruct Am No instead we're doing simple things C D Good loving find it run amuck [Verse 7] Em This be a declaration G Written about my friends Am It's engraved into this song C D So they know I'm not forgetting them Em See maybe if the world contained G More people like these Am Then the news would not be telling me C D About all that warfare endlessly and [Chorus] Am Em Our weapons were our instruments G D C Made from timber and steel Am We never yielded to conformity Em But stood like kings G In a chariot that's riding on a D Record
