The King Blues - 'The Streets Are Ours'
(from the album 'Save The World, Get The Girl')
INTRO: Em (passing C) B
VERSE: Am B
BRIDGE: Em B Em
SAMBA: no guitar
(there's a fiddly bit in the bass you might be able to replicate by going from
if you time it properly in the verse, but I'll leave that out)
I recommend using barre chords the whole time:
Em Am B C Am/G (if you want to use it)
|-7--5--7--8 --5-|
|-6--5--7--8 --5-|
|-9--5--6--9 --5-|
|-9--7--9--10--7-|
|-7--7--9--10--7-|
|-7--5--7--8 --3-|
INTRO
[Em] [C][B]

VERSE
We [Am]stood in front of tanks at Tiananmen Square,
From [B]Berlin to Chiapas we are everywhere,
And [Am]over the sirens of the police cars,
You can [B]hear us shout ?The streets are ours!?
BRIDGE
[B]In S[Em]eattle we chased out the World Trade Organisation,
[B]On M[Em]ayday we gave Winston Churchill a mohican,
[B]Kept the [Em]water for the people in Cochabamba,
[B] De[Em]manded autonomy on the dawn of NAFTA,
[B]So [Em]send in the clowns, someone send in the clowns,
[B] The [Em]black bloc, the antiFA and the undergrounds,
[B] A [Em]big, pink, marching samba band,
And [B]we'll [Em]take our own route that ain't pre-planned
