Diaspora

• G5

(intro) 

(verse 1) 
(you can strum this or use the chords) 

or 

G5                   Csus 
Warm yourself by the fire son, 
D5                        Csus 
And the morning will come soon. 
G5                         Csus 
I'll tell you stories of a better time, 
D5                      Csus 
In a place that we once knew. 

(verse 2) (a little more distorted for electric) 
G5                               Csus 
Before we packed our bags and we left all this 
D5               Csus 
Behind us in the dust, 
G5                           Csus 
We had a place that we could call home 
      D5                Csus 
And a life no-one could touch. 


Em 
Don't hold me up now, 
G 
I can stand my own ground 
D 
I don't need your help now, 
C 
You won't let me down, down, down. 
Em 
Don't hold me up now, 
G 
I can stand my own ground 
D 
I don't need your help now, 
C 
You won't let me down, down, down, ddoowwnn.. 

(filler) 

(verse 3) 
G5                       Csus 
We are the angry and the desperate, 
    D5              Csus 
The hungary and the cold. 
G5                        Csus 
We are the one's who kept crying, 
    D5                      Csus 
And always did what we were told. 

(verse 4) (a little more distorted for electric) 
G5                        Csus 
But we've sweaty when you slept so cold, 
       D5             Csus 
In the safety of your home. 
G5                         Csus 
We've been pulling out the nails that holds up, 
D5                Csus 
Everything you've known. 

Em 
Don't hold me up now, 
G 
I can stand my own ground 
D 
I don't need your help now, 
C 
You won't let me down, down, down. 
Em 
Don't hold me up now, 
G 
I can stand my own ground 
D 
I don't need your help now, 
C 
You won't let me down, down, down, ddoowwnn.. 

(bridge) 
Csus         D5                      Csus 
So open your eyes, so lets be on our way, 
Csus               D5                Csus 
Broken windows and ashes guiding the way. 
Csus           D5                            Csus 
Keep crying no longer we'll sing through the day, 
Csus                 Em7                     D5 
The lives that we've lost, the lives we've reclaimed.
