Frank Turner We Shall Not Overcome Lyrics

Found a few incorrect chord sheets for this song, which, in my opinion, is the
best song on Tape Deck Heart. So, hope you enjoy! Comment and correct as you see need.
Piano/Synth Intro:
The bands I like, they don't sell too many records
And the girls I like, they don't kiss too many boys
Books I read will never be best sellers, yeah
But come on fellas at least we made our choice, hey!
Intro: A E D x4
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey!
tab intro: after first chorus
Verse: palm muted leading up to the pre-chorus
What do we want?
And when do we want it?
And how would we feel if we knew that we were never gunna get it?
And where did we start from?
And where are we going?
Can anyone here say with any certainty that they know what they're doing?
Pre-Chorus:
Ever feel like an awkward understudy thrown into a cast where you just don't get along?
Crowd and the crew all standing silent staring and you can't shake the feeling that somehow
you're doing it wrong
What do we want
Verse 2:
Mum and dad always seem like that had a plan
Everything fell apart when mum moved on, now dad's a broken man
And all these decisions that keep getting made
I can't remember making them and nobody wants to explain
Pre-Chorus:
We're all awkward understudies wearing comfortable shoes getting comfortable with doing it wrong
Missed the dress rehearsals and we had to rush a drink before the show but now it's show time and
we're singing our song!
Chorus: Single strum of chords with clapping
Because The bands I like, they don't sell too many records
And the girls I like, they don't kiss too many boys
Books I read will never be best sellers, yeah
But come on fellas at least we made our choice
The bands I like, they don't sell too many records
And the girls I like, they don't kiss too many boys
Books I read will never be best sellers, yeah
But come on fellas at least we made our choice
Bridge:
Be a fan of every band that made you want to move your feet
Fall in love with every person who ever made your heart want to skip a beat
So come on, come on, come on!
What do we want?
A E D (2nd guitar plays intro)
We shall not overcome!
d--7-7-7-7---6-6-7-6---4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---| To end of song
WE SHALL OVERWHELM!
Tag:
Hey, hey!
Because the lives we lead, they will be so very perfect
And the plans we make made us serve some kind of purpose
But the hearts we meet still beat the way they used to
If you're doing it wrong, well yeah what you gunna do?
What do we want?
