Sugarcoating - Martin Sexton
Intro - C, Am
C, F, Dm, C
Am
It was a clear blue day in September
C
In the year two thousand and one
Am
Everybody seems to remember
C
Very few know how it was done
Am
Jet planes flying into buildings
FC
Nobody getting in their way
Am
Tall twin towers made of concrete and steel
CG
Coming down like paper Mache
Dm
And I wonder why
FG
Nobody wonders why
C
With all this sweet, sweet, sweet sugarcoating
Am
The nightly news gone entertainment biz
CF
And the politicians out showboating
CGC
One day somebody tell it like it is
Am
We went a huntin' for those old evil doers
C
Down in old Afghanistan
EmAm
Then we lost the track and headed back to Iraq
C
With our sights set on Iran
Am
Through the desert runs a money trail
C
We kill and die for to defend
Am
Oh from the banks to the bankers to the tanks to the tankers
CG
It's a war that knows no end
Dm
And no wonder why
FG
Very few wonder why
C
With all this sweet, sweet, sweet sugarcoating
Am
The nightly news gone entertainment biz
CF
Oh big business out showboatin
CGG
Won't somebody tell it like it is
FC
Oh who knows a truth (And not afraid to tell it)
FCm
This song is for you
C-A-C-G-CAm
Maybe if we talk we're just dead men walking
C
But if we're silent we're living like slaves
Am
But if we follow where we lead and we're eaten what we're fed
CGDmFG
Then we might as well be sleeping in our grave
C
With all this sweet, sweet, sweet sugarcoating
Am
The nightly news gone entertainment biz
CF
Everybody out showboating
CGC
Somebody wanna tell it like it is
CGC
Oh somebody's gonna tell it like it is
CFC
I believe somebody's gonna tell it like it is
