Frontline

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Newcranes 

Frontline by the Newcranes. A very energetic Anglo-Ukranian folk rock group 
from the East Midlands, active in the early 90's. The recording of this song on 
the Frontline EP features an a-cappella intro in Russian (Or is it Ukranian?) not 
represented here. 
I have however tried my best to reproduce the chords for the mandolin / accordion 
instrumental breaks. Have fun!!

Am
So many people calling,
Am
Not listening to the warning,
G
Lost in their problems,
G7               Am
Not hungry for solutions,
        C                    E      E7    Am
I wanna burn out, not fade awaaaaaaaaay, (ho!)
Am
There’s plenty people falling,

The realisation’s dawning,
G                   G7
Hiding in misery,
                Am
And angry in confusion,
            C                        E       E7   Am
And running from behind to the front liiiiiiine, (ho!)

(Mandolin solo!)
G                          Am
G                          Am

        Dm
Another death, another birth,
                               Am 
Another poison in the earth,  

This is the frontline,
      Dm
Major countries deal the dirt,

Now nature’s in reverse,
            E
It’s always worse than before,
     E7
They say there’ll be another war!
   Am
So many people calling,

Not listening to the warning,
G                        G7
Lost in their problems,
                  Am
Not hungry for solutions,
            C                       E     E7    Am
I’m running from behind to the frontliiiiiine, (Hey!)

(Instrumental break)
F    G     Am    C     F     G     Am
F    G     Am    C     F     G     Am
(Mandolin vs. Melodeon folk-off!)
Am               Am    
Am               G     G7    Am
Am               Am    
Am               G     G7    Am
G    G7    Am
           Yaaaaa!

(Mandolin solo)
Am               G     
Am               G
 
            C                        E       E7    Am
I’m running from behind to the frontli-i-i-i-i-i-i-ine, (i-ine)
            C                  E          Am
I’m running from behind to the frontline (Ho!)
            C                        E       E7    Am
I’m running from behind to the frontli-i-i-i-i-i-ine, (i-ine)
            C                  E       E7          Am
I’m running from behind to the frontline!
