Where's The Enemy?

• B

Performed by the Whitlams, but composed by Tim Hall, who sings and plays

Tune your bottom string down to D.

Repeat over verse: 
 
He thinks it's best to criticise his own kind 
An animal of greed, best to sew that social seed 
I thought by my thoughts all would come clear to me 
Yeah I can shoot a gun, maybe I should join the army.

Is there a quiet place to lie? 
Maybe watch this all go by 
Wonder how can we survive 
Wasting energy, where's the enemy? 
 
 
 
Verse 2: 
 
I'd soldier on and walk the curvy line 
so straight 
But I would fall behind, maybe I am not  
so blinded 
You talk of so much pity that is 
self-related 
Blaming not yourself, said the fault lies  
somewhere else. 
 
 
Chorus: 
 
Repeated when the feeling's high 
I wish it all could just rely 
On the depth of you and I 
Wasting energy, where's the enemy? 
 
 
Bridge: 
Measure A of the intro several times, 
Then Measure B. 
 
Then when Tim is murmuring, noodle around this shape: 
Brackets indicate notes to play with.  
----------

--0------- 
--2-(0)--- 
--x----(4) 
--2------- 
 
Then finish on the C chord that ends Measure B: 
------ 
------ 
----0- 
---2-- 
--3--- 
------ 
 
And back into another chorus! 
 
Chorus repeats, slows, and finishes the song with the Em chord: 
 
-----

--0-- 
--2-- 
--2-- 
--2--
