Keep The Peace, Prepare For War Tabulatur von David Keenan (für Baryton)

[Verse 1]

 G                D              C             G
I impersonate the iron age, while you the age of gold
    G                D            C         Em
We learn upon a tight rope in delirium and grace
    G                             D
We are street children, we are urchins
    C                       G
We love drinking from the well
   G                              D
Tangled in each other, on the marble floor
   Em                          D     G
Keeping the peace by preparing for war

[Verse 2]
G                          D               C                   G
Well I smoked my recommendations in the name of our dormant dream
G                           D                C                         G
You sold the last of the Chinese ink to a priest who then married a queen
G           D                                 C       G
Wrap me up, women's clothing for to keep the cold at bay
G                                  D
The laughter kept us warm, drawing maps upon the floor
Em                       Em       D    
Keeping the peace by preparing for war

G
Waho
Chorus]
G                Em          G               Em
Let's hear some noise for a tuned in girl and boy
 G                    Em                     D                       C
In the echos of the handball alley when the air is but a pregnant breath
 Em                              D
No I won't pay rent, I'm giving You up for lent
  Em                             D
No I won't pay rent, I'm giving You up for lent
   Em                                           D
But your whistling still remains in my ear


[Verse 3]
 G                          D                  C                    G
I kneel in the name of not knowing, then we sprint to the empty museum
 G                         D                C            Em
You are covered in expectation while I get covered in mud
 G                         D                 C                     Em
Oh I ask the moon for some counceling but she said oh she wasn't sure
G                           D
So I swam out to shallower waters
 Em                      D          
Keeping the peace by preparing for war


[Verse 4]
G                       D
I light a candle for safe passage
C                       G
Then we head to the freshers ball
G                         D
Dressed in clothes, ancient Persian
C                                  Em
We had stolen from saint Vincent de paul
 G                     D                        C                    G
We agreed if we were to marry we'd build that house with an orange door
 G                   D                  C                Em     D
Ink these words on our body; keep the peace by preparing for war

 G
Waho

[Chorus]
G                Em          G               Em
Let's hear some noise for a tuned in girl and boy
 G                    Em                     D
In the echos of the handball alley when the air is but a pregnant breath
 Em                              D
No I won't pay rent, I'm giving You up for lent
  Em                             D
No I won't pay rent, I'm giving You up for lent
 Em                              D
But your whistling still remains in my ear

N.C
Sure it's been this way for years



Some whistling at the end
