Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Will someone please say the unsayable?
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Will someone please tell me I'm wrong?
ch]D7[/ch] [ch]Gmaj7[/ch
I live every day like a sad beast of prey
ch]Cmaj7[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
For I have to appear to be strong
ch]D[/ch
And that's wrong
[ch]E[/ch] | [ch]Am[/ch] | [ch]Esus4[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] |
I'm too weak to be strong
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Today I met with the generals
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And the head of my secret police
ch]D7[/ch] [ch]Gmaj7[/ch
Discussing conspiracies and prison facilities
ch]Cmaj7[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
For opponents I can never release
ch]D[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
And there'll be no peace
| [ch]Am[/ch] | [ch]Esus4[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] |
Until they're released
Middle 8
ch]C/E[/ch
Of course, I'm in league with the army
ch]D/E[/ch
It's not like I've got any choice
ch]C/E[/ch
They officially adore me and my father before me
ch]D/E[/ch
But gunpoint has a firm voice
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
The joke is I'm not even a demagogue
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Have you heard me giving a speech?
ch]D7[/ch] [ch]Gmaj7[/ch
My facts are invented, I sound quite demented
ch]Cmaj7[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
So deluded it beggars belief
ch]D[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
It would be such a relief
| [ch]Am[/ch] | [ch]Esus4[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] |
Not to give another speech
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Can someone please say the impossible?
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Crowds should be out on the street
ch]D7[/ch] [ch]Gmaj7[/ch
I've lost any will to threaten or kill
ch]Cmaj7[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
I'll be easy for you to defeat
ch]D[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
And any resistance I meet
| [ch]Am[/ch] | [ch]Esus4[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] |
I'll beat a retreat
Middle 8
ch]C/E[/ch
I'd rather that you didn't shoot me
ch]D/E[/ch
But I'd quite understand if you did
ch]C/E[/ch
Watch out for the army, the generals will go barmy
ch]D/E[/ch
At the thought of a takeover bid
Verse 5→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Oh, please will somebody put me
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Out of my misery?
ch]D7[/ch] [ch]Gmaj7[/ch
This sad old dictator must sooner or later
ch]Cmaj7[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
Flee so that you can be free
ch]D[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
If you get rid of me
| [ch]Am[/ch] | [ch]Esus4[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] | [ch]A[/ch] | % |
We can all be free
