Gratitude And Thanks

                                   G                                   C 
I asked a student of higher schooling
         G                           D 
He said he didn?t care
               G                               C 
When I asked about the sixties
             G                               D 
They simply said long hair
                 G                         C 
Saw a child getting programmed
                     G                                   D 
Getting programmed when she wakes
               G                         C 
And I heard a raving elder
                 G                         D 
Cursing 20 years too late
         Em           Am                 C 
Oh how the bastards screwed me
 D           G                     C             D 
  Son, life?s too short to wait
                               Am 
And then the students
         Bm             C 
Of higher schooling
   D               G             C               D 
Hid more pills inside his plate
     G                     C                     D 
So I?d like to send gratitude
And thanks
 G                       C 
  To those who had the courage
             D 
To defy the mighty ranks
                                   C 
Send it to the students
                               G 
Who waved the banners
                       D 
Who held flowers up to the tanks
                       C 
And to the ones who are
               G 
Still fighting
         D 
Yes all my gratitude
                           G       C  G  D  G  C  G  D 
And all my thanks
                       G                         C 
So as you sit baked and hammered
           G                         D 
So grateful to be dead
                   G                                 C 
Saying freedom?s here to chill out
         G                                 D 
So sit and rest your head
                       G 
Think of those who fought
           C 
For your right
           G                                     D 
The path you walk, they paved
             G                                       C 
And those who fought for their right
         G                         D 
To carry until today
                           G                               C 
When it was they who fed the hungry,
                           G                       D 
Stormed the pentagon for peace
                     G                             C 
While the army rounded strangers up
   G                                     D 
made them instant police
     G                             C 
They who made a union,
                           G 
dodged the draft,
                                 D 
and filled the jails
               G                               C 
And spread a message of unity
       G                                 D 
Across the nation?s rails
                                         Em 
And said we?re destroying
           Am                 C 
The house that Man have built
   D                     G                 C             D 
Kicking the doors and pulling nails
         Am                       Bm             C 
And you have the nerve to tell me
 D         G       C                 D 
  That everyone has failed
       G 
No, you should send
 C                     D 
  Your gratitude and thanks
 G                       C 
  To those who had the courage
             D 
To defy the mighty ranks
                                   C 
Send it to the students
                               G 
Who waved the banners
                       D 
Who held flowers up to the tanks
                         C 
And to the ones who are
               G 
Still fighting
         D 
Yes all my gratitude
                                   Am  D  Am  D  C  D  C  Dx2 
And all my thanks
                       C 
I'd like to send out a
   D 
Head, help, heart, and hand
           G                               C 
To those who had the courage
         D 
To reach and rise and stand
                                 C 
Send it to the lovers
                   G 
And the fighters
                               D 
To those who stood up and still stand
                             C 
Those who unchained their wrist
             G 
And clenched their fist
             D 
Both here and in faraway lands
