Over My Dead Body
Steve Taylor
Intro:A(no 3rd) Asus A(no 3rd)
Am Asus
After the Nazis we were baited by the Russian bear
Am g a g G
Our liberators wanted Poland for a thoroughfare
Am Asus
I was a victim of December nineteen eighty one
Am g a g G
I took a final beating from the blunt end of a Russian gun.
G7sus
Am2 faster
Am
You plant your missiles while our people wait in line for bread
Am7 g g g G g g g G
You hand an army tank above us by a bloody thread.
Am7
You bought our government, they crawl like bleating sheep to you
Am7 g g g G g g g G g g g G
We know from history that human life is cheap to you.
CHORUS
Am C / D E
Over my dead body redemption draweth night
Am C / D E
Over my dead body I hear the battle cry
Am C / D E
Try and blow out the fire, you're fanning the flames
Am / G / D / F / E
We're gonna rise up from the ashes 'till we're ashes again.
no chords
You make a mockery of all that we hold sacred here
You drive us underground in hopes that we will disappear
We seek our sanctuary where the altar candle burns
Our dignity's a legacy the cross of Jesus reaffirms
Chorus
After the Nazis we were baited by the Russian bear
Our liberators wanted Poland as a thoroughfare
Rise up, my brothers, don't despair the Iron Curtain's rod
Someday we'll draw the string assisted by the hand of God.
Am7 throughout
I was a victim of December nineteen eighty one
I took a final beating from the blunt end of a Russian gun.
You made a memory, the memory will multiply
You may kill the body but the spirit, it will never die.
Am C / D E Am / G / D
Over my dead body redemption draweth night
Am C / D E Am / G / D
Over my dead body I hear the battle cry
Am C / D E Am
Try and blow out the fire, you're fanning the flames
G/D Am / G / D / F / E
We're gonna rise up from the ashes 'till we're ashes again.
