Become You

[G] [D] [C] [D] [G]

[Em]I heard you sing a rebel song                  [D]
[Em]Sung it loud and all alone               [D]
[Em]We can't afford the things you say                  [D]
[Em]We can't afford the warranty                [D]

[Em]Well I see you walking in the glare
[D]Down the county road we share
[Em]Our southern blood my heresy
[D]Damn that old confederacy

[G]It took a l[D]ong time to become [C]the thing
[D]I am to you[G]
[G]And you won't tear it [D]apart       [C]
[C]Without a fight
[D]Without a heart        [Em]

[Em]I'm sorry for what you've learned (learned)                     [D]
When you feel the tables turned
To run so hard in your race (race)
Now you found who set the pace

[Em]The lande aristocracy
[D]Exploiting all your enmity
[Em]All your daddy's fought in vain
[D]Leave you with the mark of cain

It took a long time to become the thing
I am to you and you won't tear it apart
Without a fight
Without a heart

It took a long time to become you
Become you

[Em]The center holds so they say                [D]
(It never held too well for me)
[Em]It never held too well for me               [D]
(The center holds so they say)
I won't stop short of common ground
(That vilifies the trodden down)
That vilifies the trodden down
(I won't stop)

[Em]The center held the bonded slave
[D]For the sake of industry (ah)
[Em]The center held the bloody hand
[D]of the execution man (ah)

It took a long time to become the thing
I am to you and you won't tear it apart
Without a fight
Without a heart

It took a long time to become you
Become you

It took a long time to become you
Become you
