Version 1
            Am:002210
F:133211
G:355433 (best played as a barre chord rather than 320033)
Em:022000
D:xx0232

The strumming pattern is relatively easy to work out – a mixture of the chords and then palm muted, but the
pattern is the same throughout the entire song.


[Intro]
Am
Go through the motions, every day out in the square
F
Listen for the hidden rhythms on the air
G
Nod in agreement when the tyrant holds forth
Em
Look for a beacon from the North

[Verse 1]
Am
Protect yourself
F               G             Am
Vouch for every member of the team
F              G                       Am
This is just a momentary ripple in the stream

[Verse 2]
Am
Join in the rebuilding, sing loudly at your labour
F
Make friends with the new guys, be nice to your neighbour
G
Profess keen interest in the welfare of the state
Em
Taste everything they feed you, say it tastes real great

[Verse 3]
Am
Spit it down your sleeve
F        G                Am
   Every time you get the chance
F              G                          Am
This is just a brief improvisation in the dance

[Verse 4]
F
Raise up the columns
D                Am
Take the statues down
F
Praise the columns
D
Spread the word around town

[Verse 5]
Am
Behold the temple where the old one stood
F
Is it not a thing of beauty, don't it make you feel good?
G
Is it not a big improvement on the way things used to be?
Em
Is it not a stately beacon for the whole world to see?

[Outro]
Am
We will be right here
F         G              Am
On the day it finally burns
F                     G              Am
Everybody hold a spot Until Olympius returns

Yeah!

Am F G Am
