Hi! So, I really wanted to play an acoustic version of M.I.., but couldn't find
any chords on the internet, so I simply sat down with my piano and tabbed it
myself. I'm pretty sure it's about 90% accurate, or something along those lines,
but I took the liberty of mixing up the chords a little with parallel keys, so as
to not make it very repetitive.
No capo
Standard tuning

Staring at the carnage
Praying that the sun would never rise
Living another day in disguise
These feelings can't be right
Lend me your courage to stand up and fight
On tonight
Ooooo....
Stand up and fight
The fighting rages on and on
To challenge me you must be strong
I walk your land but don't belong
Two million soldiers can't be wrong
It's no fun but I've been here before
I'm far from home and I'm fighting your war
(Not the way I pictured this, I wanted better things)
Some are scared, others killing for fun
I shot a mother right in front of her son
(Take this from my consciousness, and please erase my dreams)
Fight for honor, fight for your life
Pray to God that our side is right
And though we won, I still may lose
Until I make it home to you
I see our mothers filled with tears
Grew up so fast where did those years go?
Memories won't let you cry
Unless I don't return tonight
So many soldiers on the other side
I take their lives so they can't take mine
(Scared to make it out alive, now murder's all I know)
Nobody tells me all the reasons we're here
I have my weapon so there's nothing to fear
(Another day, another life, but nothing real to show for)
Fight for honor, fight for your life
Pray to God that our side is right
And though we won, I still may lose
Until I make it home to you
I see our mothers filled with tears
Grew up so fast where did those years go?
Memories won't let you cry
Unless I don't return tonight
Staring at the carnage
Praying that the sun would never rise
Living another day in disguise
These feelings can't be right
Lend me your courage to stand up and fight
Watching the death toll rise, wondering how I'm alive
Strangers' blood on my hands, I've shot all I can
There are no silent nights, watching your brothers all die
To destroy all their plans with no thought of me
No thought of me, no thought of me
Ohhhhh.....
Walk the city lonely
Memories that haunt are passing by
A murderer walks your street tonight
Forgive me for my crimes
Don't forget that I was so young
Fought so scared in the name of God and country
Hope you enjoyed, and feel free to let me know if you think there is any way to
make this better. :)
