Chinese Lanterns The Temperance Movement
The Temperance Movement - Chinese Lanterns
In this song, Paul (who's playing the acoustic), will often mix up the major and sus
chords, to give some variation. I am just going to put the major version of the chords (no
sus's), but I have given the diagrams which show how to play these chords, if you want
to play it more like the original. There are also a couple of little non-chordal riffs in
this song which I have put below.

Verse 1
-------
Well I[C] turned out my pockets at the [G]end of the night,
[Am7] Still had some money I was do[G]ing alright but I [F]knew

Chinese lanterns set free on the rise but I knew

(INTRO/ LINK RIFF)
Verse 2 (same chords as verse 1)

I took one for the team but I never played the same,
They wrote my story and they asked for my name but I knew
And I learned how to lie how to make believe,
I tried for hours to pull you out of my sleve but I knew

I danced cartwheels around you and I walked on my hands but I knew
