Laying Down The Law

Intro: D9

D9                   Em
I'm laying down the law
D9                    Em
Showdown in the northland
D9                       Em
Just the whiff of corruption
D9                      Em
Is the tip of the iceberg
D9                     Em
Savor and sweet liberty
D9                              Em
And there's trouble from the south
D9                      Em
Shouting from the gallery
D9                               Em
Now I find I've got to shut it out

G        A9           G/A
I'm searching for a light
    D9                 G
To kill my sense of fear
     A9                      G/A
To break through darkened nights
     A9
And take me through the years
D9                       Em
There's no need to tell you
D9                       Em
What I think has gone wrong
D9                           Em
There's grey clouds of dissension
D9                                   Em
Let it show, let it show a silver lining
D9                    Em
Sweet blood on the razor
D9                     Em
Is it poetry or politics?
D9                       Em
Forget about the nightmare
D9                                    Em
I'll make it a dream that changes everything
G        A9           G/A
I'm searching for a light
    D9                 G
To kill my sense of fear
     A9                      G/A
To break through darkened nights
     A9
And take me through the years
