5 to 9 The Riot Before
There's lots of palm muting and sometimes ringing out just listen for the changes.
Also when Brett plays C and Am sometimes he drops his pinkie on the third fret of the B
He does this in the outro and in between verses.
Like so:
[C] [Am]
E ----0-0-----0-0---------| B ----1-3-----1-3---------| G ----0-0-----2-2---------| D ----2-2-----2-2---------| A ----3-3-----0-0---------| E ----x-x------x-x--------|
Hope I could explain that well enough. Anyway it's a really fun song with awesome
Hope you enjoy!
[C]Tired muscles, tired eyes
[Am]Can't sleep through this Oaxacan night
[Em]He's kept away from dreaming, haunted by thoughts of failing
[C]The family whom he shares a bed
[Am]A tiny room even less bread
[Em]He cries out to himself silently
I am not a m[C]an [Am] no I am not a m[Em]an
I am not a [C]man I can't feed my child[Am]ren
This is no life for th[Em]em
[C] [Am] [Em]
[C]So he's out of bed with the sunrise
[Am]He kisses his wife and kids goodbye
[Em]Then heads north to the border To work, become a provider
[C]But gathered at the country line
[Am]Are protesters all holding signs
[Em]He can't read but translates perfectly
I am not a ma[C]n [Am] No I am not a [Em]man
No I am not a m[C]an I'm just a Mexic[Am]an
[Em]Illegal immigrant
[Dm]The politicians the pundits the public debate
[Am]But one qu[G]estion's lost in pol[F]icy
[Am]"Is a man not a man if he's born outside a bound[C]ary?"
[Dm]Stumbling through the desert alone and afraid
[Am]He almost [G]dies from the [F]heat
[G]But he thinks of his family and that keeps him going
[F]He won't stop for death least the laws of a country G
Arrested is no threat
when you're already living unf[F]ree
Unfree!
[C]So he works the fields from 5 to 9
[Am]Plus any job that he can find
[Em]Saves up all his money, sends it to his family
[C]Before he falls asleep at night
[Am]A thousand miles from his life
[Em]He assuredly repeats
I am a hum[C]an [Am] Yeah I am a h[Em]uman
Yeah I am a hu[C]man a father a hus[Am]band
A global citi[Em]zen
[C] [Am] [Em]
Not a debatable statis[C]tic[Am] [Em]
I'm not your problem econom[C]ic[Am] [Em]
I'm not a threat to patriot[C]ic[Am]
That's idiot[Em]ic
I Am [C]a...
