======================================================== The Loan Sharks Copyright (c) 2000, 2001 by Mad Teddy ======================================================== Lyrics and chords ----------------- ( Introduction: Em Em Em Em ) Em They come, dressed up in their suits and ties, Em Wheeling their deals and spinning their lies, G But they just don't seem to realize D Em D Em That the Earth's billions are seeing red. Em They come from far and they come from wide, Em Their hearts are greedy, their motives are snide, G And they think they'll take us all for a ride D Em As they kid themselves that rage is dead. A Em But as they file into swank hotels, B7 Em We know the air around them smells A Em Of greed, corruption, and evil spells B7 Em Designed to enslave the world. A Em They hide inside, and they lay their plans B7 Em To crush the spirit of woman and man - A Em The blood of millions is on their hands, B7 Em As their flag of shame is unfurled. Dm They think that people cannot see, C Dm They think that we peasants don't know, Dm As on their despicable cynical way C Dm The rich and powerful go. F C The price of their gain is the whole planet's pain - F Dm C Dm C Dm Her agony increases with each sov'reign state they overthrow. Em They think that we are such stupid fools, Em Won't see the police as political tools G As bones are broken and teeth are smashed D Em D Em While human rights and freedoms are trashed. Em In Melbourne, Washington, Prague or Seattle, Em Wherever they meet, we'll take up the battle, G And whether red, brown, white, yellow or black, D Em Make no mistake - we will be back! A Em And even though the Earth is maimed, B7 Em The people's heritage will be regained. A Em An age of justice will be proclaimed - B7 Em It's only a question of when. A Em So join with us in this vital quest! B7 Em They'll give of their worst, we'll give of our best. A Em Take careful note, I do not jest - B7 Em The times are a-changing again! B7 Em The times are a-changing again! B7 (C0 B7 C0) Em D Em The times are a-chang-ing a - gain! ***************************************************** GUITAR CHORD FINGERING (x = don't play this string) ----------------------------------------------------- Em G D A A (alternative) x ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| That's how I play |23||| |1|||| |||1|2 ||123| ||213| <= it - because I've |||||| 2||||3 ||||3| |||||| |||||| fat fingers! :-) B7 Dm C F C0 x x x x ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== ||1||| |||||1 ||||1| ||||11 ||1|2| |2|3|4 |||2|| ||2||| |||2|| |||3|4 |||||| ||||3| |3|||| ||3||| |||||| _ _|2|_ |1| |3| | | | |_ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | | |4| | | | | | B7 (better) C (better) F (better) F (best) |\| | | | | x | | | | | | ====== ====== ====== ====== | | | ||1||| ||||1| ||||11 111111 | | | 22|3|4 ||2||| |||2|| |||2|| \ Left | |||||| 34|||| |34||| |34||| \ Hand / | | | | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
