Machine Head – Bastards chords

[Verse]
BYesterday I told my sons, "Sometimes the bad guys win."
    F#And that it made me scared about the world that we live in
      G#mBut I had to reassure them that it wouldn't be for long
ESons we have to be ourselves, we have to be strong

         BI said, 'Boys you are the future, so let this be a lesson
       F#There may come a day you have to fight off their aggression
       G#mCause fear and hatred won today, the darkness ate the light,"
     EBut both of you look in my eyes, it'll be all right.

   BIn every step you take
    F#I'm with you all the way
              G#mCause I would die for you, and do what's right for you
               EIn hopes that when I'm gone, you'll carry on
       EThese words I wrote for you

[Chorus]
      F#'Til then
       EI'll sing

B           F#Stand your ground
      G#m               EDon't let the bastards grind you down
   B         F#Be bold, be strange
      G#m                      EDon't let their fears make you afraid
        F#              EThere's hope, they'll change

[Verse]
        BWell I looked out to the world today, thought 'What a bloody mess!'
        F#They stripped our morals from us, put 'em under house arrest
    G#m'Liberty and country' are the words they need to speak
          EA little “god,” a little “freedom,” if we don’t agree, we're weak

     BAnd every politician stood there idle and so smug
   F#Empowering the racists and Second Amendment thugs
   G#mWall St. and the billionaires, convinced us they’re so smart
        ESaying “vote with your wallet, instead of with your hearts!”

    BBut we won't go away!
    F#You won’t forget our name!
    G#mThe pussy generation, the PC and the brave
    EThe protesters that slink along these streets of misery

[Chorus]
    F#And so...
     EI'll sing

B           F#Stand your ground
      G#m               EDon't let the bastards grind you down
   B         F#Be bold, be strange
      G#m                      EDon't let their fears make you afraid
        F#              EThere's hope, they'll change
       F#We'll change
        EWe'll change

[Interlude]
BNo, no, no, no, no. Fuck no
F#No, no, no, no, no. Fuck no
G#m                 ENo, no, no, no, no. Fuck no!

[Verse]
    BSo give us all your faggots, all your niggas, and your spics
  F#Give us all your Muslims, the so-called terrorists
       G#mWe'll welcome 'em with open arms and put 'em in our mix
       EWe're better off together now, embrace our difference

   BRemember there is love!
     F#Our words can stop their guns
   G#mForget the rednecks, living in the past
       EWe're never going back now, we've reached critical mass!

    F#And so...
     EI'll sing

[Outro]
 B        F#Stand my ground
      G#m                EWon’t let the bastards grind me down
     B        F#I’m bold, I’m strange
       G#m                     EWon’t let their fears make me afraid
        F#              EThere’s hope, they’ll change
