Chords for : Levellers - Fifteen Years
--------------------------------------
Opening : Am Am G Am
Verse :
AmI never was a violent man
G AmSaid the man in the bar with his head in his hands
Be's trying his best to understand
G AmThe cause of his dismay
But years of gin have broken him
And left him cold where he fitted in
And it's too late now to turn around
And find another way.
Chorus :
Dm FAll the laughs in the late night lock-in
Am GThey fade away when he gets in
Dm FThe girl from fifteen years ago
AmBas packed and gone away.
Verse :
That's never how it used to be
What happened to all that energy ?
You took one too many liberties
I'm tired of being afraid
So after a fight she took flight
Biding swollen eyes and a wounded pride
The best years of her life denied
And sold for liquid shares.
Chorus :
And the laughs in the late night lock-in
They fade away when he gets in
The girl from fifteen years ago
Bas packed and gone away.
Bridge :
Am GAnd the victims of this world
Am GThey're advertised on posters
Am GJust a beach and a pretty girl
Am GYou just take this potion.
Verse :
It's another week 'till his cheque comes through
Be's got a fiver left now to spend on food
But the doors of the bar are open
And he breaks another rule
Be sits on the stool that bears his name
Be's got a favorite glass now that's called the same
And he's never been kept waiting
'Cause he pays the landlord's wage.
Chorus :
And the laughs in the late night lock-in
They fade away when he gets in
The girl from fifteen years ago
Am GBas packed and gone away
All the laughs in the late night lock-in
They fade away when he gets in
The girl from fifteen years ago
Bas packed and gone away.
