Hingminashi Eikhoi

Capo 5th chords E Bf A Bf



VERSE 
A                        E                      D                   E
When your own governments against you
War is all you've ever known
Corruption undermines everything
Votes are bought and sold

Armed gunmen drive through the streets
AFSPA says they do that you please
Your own military, is adversarial
Who do you turn to for peace?

BRIDGE
A
There's nothing to say
E
Only to sing

CHORUS

VERSE
No one sheds tears for Manipur
Or the forgotten North East of India
Hidden away, people shot every day
Quietly one by one

With bullets fired from Western-built guns
Who profits from peace?
Keep going no one will know
When will the winds of change blow?

Filtered air to breathe 
Weighted blankets on top
Grounding mat underneath
 
You'll have a good night honey, Guaranteed

A song about singing

VERSE
Dm
I'd been driving for years
Am
Lost in foreign lands
C
Searching for answers
G
Some guiding hands

I'd gone cross country
Even lost the road
I was given directions
By people, far gone themselves

But it was in my darkest hour
That I heard her name
Whispered on the wind
And I was guided to a place

[More speaking]

The parking lot was packed
the queue went round the block
But a desperate man won't be denied
I found a window unlocked

I climbed into her chamber
And poured out my heart
Of how I'd lost my voice somewhere
She watched me in the dark 

"Your problems obvious
You've forced your tone
Singing should be an effortless thing
Leave well alone"

After an hour together
I felt changes deep inside
And I walked out the door two inches taller
With words to reach the sky   

CHORUS
And I could sing sing sing
Such a pure and simple thing
Go within
And let it ring

Yes I could sing sing sing
A recrowned king
I went within
And let it ring

VERSE
Her technique was simple
As light as love
An iron fist
Inside a velvet glove

She took away the parts
That were not me
Like Michaelangelo
Had done for David

With balanced tone 
The right vibrations
Like a type rope walker
I had bold and new sensations

Our town

VERSE
D#m                           A#m
In our town we have pride
                           G#m          A#m
We don't form factions or divide
                  D#m                       G#m   
We chose to come together
       A#m             D#m
And together we decide 

By ourselves we don't wait
For the government or state
To help us with our problems
We fix issues that we face

CHORUS
         B
We are united
            F#
We are neighbors
          C#       
To get things done
        D#m
We work as one

We rise together
Or not at all
We share a future
When we stand tall

VERSE
In our town we've made changes
To get young people to stay
By giving them the helpful breaks
They can do things here their way

And our town's always growing 
While keeping heritage
It isn't small, it isn't big
It's perfect as it is

CHORUS
We are united
We are neighbors   
To get things done
We work as one

We rise together
Or not at all
We share a future
When we stand tall

OUTRO
                        F#
Our town was made from what we do
                           C#
Our town was built by me and you
                 B
Our town's alive 
                          F#
Our town is true

                      D#m
Our town is black, our town is white
                    C#
Our town is red, our town is blue
                       B
Our town's the color     
                      F#
Of me and you

It wasn't drawn up from top-down 
We raised it up out of the ground
Our town has roots
Our towns foundations

Our town is living history 
Our town is straight simplicity
Our town is honest
Our town is free

[INSTRUMENTAL]
Our town has people that belong
Our town will go on living long
Our town is stable
Our town is strong

This is our town
Look at our town
It is our town
We love our town





We've ideas and innovations
No we're not afraid of change
We hold on to our heritage
But always rearrange      

No we don't discrinate
Based on age or sex or race
We welcome those with energy
To make this a better place

Roll back the surveillance state

VERSE
E                                                  A
Big tech monopolies are on the march
E              Bf
Acting improperly

Working for the government and sucking us in
They capitalise on me

BRIDGE
A               
I thought I was protected
C#m
Pretty much hid
A
But they've got more power
Bf
Than the Stasi ever did

CHORUS
E                        Bf                 C#m            A
But I don't want big brother deciding my fate
A                         Bf             E
Roll back the surveillance state

VERSE
The door doesn't swing both ways, I can't see back
But I've welcomed them into my home

Behind DRMs, and a legal maze
Now I can't even open things I own

BRIDGE
Am I sensor?
Or something to be sensed?
The smart cities watching 
And they know I'm against

CHORUS
But I don't want big brother deciding my fate
Roll back the surveillance state

MIDDLE
A
I've seen the sum it
Bf
And no good can come of it
C#m            E
Stories like this always
A       Bf
End unhappily

Democracy dies
Everyone cries
Behind closed doors then
Descend dramatically

CHORUS
But I don't want big brother deciding my fate
Roll back the surveillance state

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE (Quiet)
In a world without scarcity I'm doing alright
I've every necessity

Every need met and I've security
Except the basic right to be free

BRIDGE
I thought I was protected
Pretty much hid
But they've got more power
Than the Stasi ever did

CHORUS
But  I don't want big brother deciding my fate
Roll back the surveillance state
