Anthem
Five Iron Frenzy
(Reese/Scott and Dennis)
Tabbed by: nastryker@juno.com
A [D]nation stands with [B]heart in hand to [G]sing their anthem [A]proudly.
[D]Voices raised to [B]sing their praise of [G]their hollow [A]country.
[D]All this talk of [B]freedom, [G]and this talk of [A]liberty,
[D]From your plastic [B]podium [G]you try and con[A]vince me.
[C]I can't [D]fall [B]any[A]more [C]for some [D]silver-[B]tounged [A]song.
Your [C]freedom [D]isn[B]'t [A]free, [C]so let me [D]say[B] what [A]freedom means to--
[D]I can't see red, white, and blue [G]waving in the [A]air.
[D]I don't hear the [B]bombs bursting and [G]I don't even [A]care.
I'm [D]sorry for my [B]lack of faith, I'm [G]not the greatest [A]patriot.
If this is all there is to freedom I don't want it.
[C]I can't [D]fall [B]any[A]more [C]for some [D]silver-[B]tounged [A]song.
Your [C]freedom [D]isn[B]'t [A]free, [C]so let me [D]say[B] what [A]freedom means to--
[D]Pushing us a [B]drug that [G]you call [A]freedom [G]and dem[A]ocracy[B],
[D]Promiss us that [B]selfish[G]ness is the [A]means [G]for [A]happi[B]ness.
[D]I burned that [B]bridge so [G]long [A]ago that [G]I can [A]hardly [B]see,
[D]Anything but [B]solace in what [G]free[A]dom [G]means [A]to [D]me.
[C#] [B] [A] [C#] [G]
[D] [C#] [B] [A] [C#] [G] (x3)
[C]I can't [D]fall [B]any[A]more [C]for some [D]silver-[B]tounged [A]song.
Your [C]freedom [D]isn[B]'t [A]free, [C]so let me [D]say[B] what [A]freedom means to--It [D]cannot mean to [B]serve our[G]selves, that [A]doesn't [G]mean a [A]th[B]ing.
It [D]doesn't mean to [B]give the [G]license to [A]seek our[G]selves in [A]any[B]thing.
[D]That would be [B]slavery[G] [A]to [G]ourselves, it [A]isn't [B]free.
[D]Jesus Christ, the [B]only [G]thing that [A]free[G]dom [A]means [B]to [D]me.
