Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Farewell,  good fellows, your  ways are not for me
Farewell,  good  fellows, your  ways are not for  me
Rest  upon your laurels,  glad you found your peace, but
Farewell,  good  fellows, your  ways are not for  me
Rapping  at the chapel door
Sweeping  up an  enemy’s floor
Do  not touch or make a sound
Keep  your eyes  upon the ground
Read  your countless  volumes
Shunned  your many  sins
But  I cannot find  salvation
In  the rattlin’ of your  tins
 I wish  good to your  children
 And their  own children,  too
 But your armor  will not  fit me
 Although,  fine, it’s suiting  you
A  flag is waved, a bomb is thrown
So  many names and dates  to know
Books  upon the books are stacked
To  get something so simple  back
We’re  talkin’ revolution
 But  spirals not the  spins
Where  you fall down, dizzy
 And forget  where to begin
Turn  your blessings into  weapons
And  hold them before your  chest
 To  you and all your  comrades
I  only wish the  best
We  may not meet  again
 For we are  treading separate  trails
 But I’ll  cast off and  think of you
On  seas or roads or  rails
 Hit chords hard, with power:
From  chapels to the  armies
Magician  to the  knave
You  either blaze your own  trail
Or  you’re diggin’ yer own  grave
 End on A
