INTRO: (Let notes ring)
VERSE 1:
Under the
[D]water [Em]line[C][Am][D]
No [Em]place to re[C]tire[Am][D]
(Ch[Em]ords contin[C]ue unabate[Am]d)[D]
To another time
The eyes of the world now turn
(Same chords , more strumming)
And if we think about it
And if we talk about it
And if the skies go dark with rain
Can you tell me does our freedom remain
CHORUS:
[Em]Put down that weapon[Am] or we'll [C]all be [D]gone
[Em]You can't hide nowhe[Am]re with the [C]torchlight [D]on
And it [C]happens to [Em]be an em[C]ergenc[Em]y
Some [C]things aren't meant to be[D]
Some [C]things don't [D]come for [Am]free[C]
(Let notes ring)
VERSE 2
above the
...waterline
Point the finger yeah point the bone
It's the harbour towns
That the grey metal ships call home
And if we think about it
And if we talk about it
And if the sea goes boiling black
Can you tell me what you'll do about that
CHORUS
Put down that weapon or we'll all be gone
I must know something to know it's so wrong
And if happens to be an emergency
Some things aren't meant to be
Some things don't come for free
(Let notes ring)
REPEAT these two bars through to Organ solo
They keep talking about it
Organ solo over CHORUS CHORDS:
And it [C]happens to [Em]be an em[C]ergenc[Em]y
Some [C]things aren't meant to be[D]
Some [Em]things don't [D/F#]come for fre[Am]e[C]
Two Final CHORUSES:
Put down that weapon or we'll all be gone
I must know something to know it's so wrong
And it [C]happens to [Em]be an em[C]ergenc[Em]y
Some [C]things aren't meant to be[D]
Some [C]things don't [D]come for [Am]free[C]
Put down that weapon or we'll all be gone
You must be crazy if you think you're strong
And it [C]happens to [Em]be an em[C]ergenc[Em]y
Some [C]things aren't meant to be[D]
Em D/F# Am G D/F# Em (Fine)
Some things don't come for free
