The Streets Are Ours Lyrics

The King Blues - 'The Streets Are Ours'
(from the album 'Save The World, Get The Girl')
INTRO: Em (passing C) B
VERSE: Am B
BRIDGE: Em B Em
SAMBA: no guitar
(there's a fiddly bit in the bass you might be able to replicate by going from
if you time it properly in the verse, but I'll leave that out)
I recommend using barre chords the whole time:
Em Am B C Am/G (if you want to use it)
We stood in front of tanks at Tiananmen Square,
From Berlin to Chiapas we are everywhere,
And over the sirens of the police cars,
You can hear us shout ?The streets are ours!?
In Seattle we chased out the World Trade Organisation,
On Mayday we gave Winston Churchill a mohican,
Kept the water for the people in Cochabamba,
Demanded autonomy on the dawn of NAFTA,
So send in the clowns, someone send in the clowns,
The black bloc, the antiFA and the undergrounds,
A big, pink, marching samba band,
And we'll take our own route that ain't pre-planned
