Anthem for a Lost Cause Lyrics
Wonderful wistful song from the Manics' 2013 Rewind album.
Lots of beautiful rolls on and off sus chords / minor chords,
which I've hopefully illustrated below.

It's a cold and lonely message at the end of a song
It in-vaded hearts and minds but they couldn't get along
It can ask you to remember it can ask you for a dance
So it seems that every song now is just one last chance

Take this it's your - s
An anth -em for a lost cau -se now ashes bone and splinter
What was once a glittering prize the composition rites

Oh re-demption love and departure I think your work is done
Paris St. Petersburg don't need a tower of song
Es-cape's not worth the capture so walk that lonesome road
No joy or earthly rapture nothing to take the load

Take this it's your - s
An anth -em for a lost cau -se now ashes bone and splinter
What was once a glittering prize the composition rites
Take this it's your - s
An anth -em for a lost cau -se now ashes bone and splinter
What was once a glittering prize the composition rites

I hope I've done it justice!
