| | | Artist: | Phil Ochs |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Another Age | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 57 | | | | Lyrics: | Tuning: One semitone lower than standard
Intro: Am- F G Am- F G
Am E Am E
Am
There's a man walking round the island with a snake cane
Am E Am E Am
He picked it up
in Thailand from a hurricane
C G
And you know he's not gonna go there
F G
He's been
one time too long
C Am
Now all the gods are gone (Though the game is gone)
The younger
boys are drowning in a shallow sea
The night belongs to snipers in palm trees
And their
sabres flashed like lightning
In the charge of the last brigade
They must have been
afraid
E
Soldiers have their sorrow
F
The wretched have their rage
Dm
G
Pray for the aged it's the dawn of another age
Am
Of another age
C

If you dare to raise your hand
Spare the glove and spoil the man
Soldiers have
their sorrow
The wretched have their rage
Pray for the aged
It's the dawn of another
age
Of another age
Of another age
Thomas Paine and Jesse James are old

And Robin Hood is riding on the road again
We were born in a revolution and we died
in a wasted war
It's gone that way before
The dogs are chasing chicken bones across the
lawn
If that was an election, I'm a Viet Cong
So I p | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
