Purity New Model Army
Standard tuning
Capo version (4th fret)
Intro chords:
[Am] [-] [G] [-] [F] [-] [F] [-] [C] [-] [G]
Verse:
The [Am]rains move [F]eastward in [G]waves of [C]succession
[Am]Drawing lines of g[F]rey across the [E]sky
With [Am]history just as c[F]lose as a [G]hand on the [C]shoulder
In [Am]hunger and i[F]mpatience we [E]cry
The [Am]battle against [F]corruption [G]rages in each [C]corner
There [Am]must be something [F]better, something [E]pure
And the [Am]call it is [F]answered from the [G]caves to the [C]cities
Come the [Am]dealers of S[F]alvation on [E]Earth
Violin part:
[Am] [-] [F] [-] [G] [-] [C]
[Am] [-] [F] [-] [E]
[Am] [-] [F] [-] [G] [-] [C]
[Am] [-] [F] [-] [E]
Verse:
We've [Am]seen the restless c[F]hildren at the[G] head of the [C]columns
Come to [Am]purify the [F]future with the [E]arrogance of youth
[Am]Nothing is as c[F]ruel as the r[G]ighteousness of i[C]nnocents
With [Am]automatic we[F]apons and a [E]gospel of the truth
Chorus:
[E]Revolution for [D]ever, s[C]uccession of the [B]seasons
Wi[C]thin the blood of [G]Nature, all r[F]aised to rot and d[E]ie
F E Am - F - G - C etc.
This purity, purity is a lie
Violin part
Verse:
Now i[Am]mmaculate con[F]ception in s[G]terilised l[C]aboratories
[Am]How the v[F]anity goes [E]on
Or in the [Am]message of the [F]preacher with his [G]morals and [C]obsessions
The [Am]wars that we [F]wage upon o[E]urselves
[G]Purity is a virtue, [F]purity is an angel
[Am]Purity is for madmen to make f[E]ools of us all
So [Am]forgive yourself my f[F]riend, all t[G]his will soon be [C]over
What [Am]happened here to[F]night is [E]nothing at all
Chorus:
[E]Revolution for [D]ever, s[C]uccession of the [B]seasons
Wit[C]hin the blood of N[G]ature, all ra[F]ised to rot and di[E]e
F E Am - F - G - C etc.
This purity, purity is a lie
Violin part
I will [Am]always see [F]Brendan at that [G]broken down [C]piano
His f[Am]ingers thick and [F]red, [E]shaking on the keys
[Am]Battered by the [F]years of [G]alcohol and w[C]orking
Still p[Am]laying with the f[F]aith that never [E]leaves
So s[Am]it us down, [F]buy us a drink, [G]tell us a good st[C]ory
[Am]Sing us a son[F]g we [E]know to be true
I [Am]don't give a d[F]amn that I [G]never will be [C]worthy
Am F E Am... etc
Fear is the only enemy that I still know
Violin outro
I couldn't find these anywhere so I worked them out. 'Purity is a virtue...' may
not be 100% but it can work well this way.
Great song, enjoy.
