I'll Fight

Capo 3, Chords relative to the capo

Intro

Am
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go
I'll go for you
 C
I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll fight
I'll fight for you
Dm
I'll kill, I'll kill, I'll kill
I'll kill for you
C			Em
I will, I will, I will

Am
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go
I'll go for you
  C
I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll fight
I'll fight for you
Dm
I'll die, I'll die, I'll die
I'll die for you
C			   Em
I will, I will, I will

E7
And If I die
I'll die, I'll die alone
F				C 
On some forgotten hill
F				C
Abandoned by the mill
	  F
All my blood
		G
Will spring and spill
F
I'll thrash the air
	G
And then be still

	 Am
You'll wake with a start
From a dream and know
	 C
That I am gone
	Dm
You'll feel it in your heart
			   C		  
But not for very long

 Am 
You will rise each day as planned
			C
Your will is your command
   Dm
And stand each Sunday at hymnal
		   C	  Em
Steady in your hand

E7
And you'll sing to yourself
F
The rising, falling melody
			 C
That you could never read
F				C
Without your choirs lead
F				G
Still alone and lost indeed
F					G
In your soul, you'll not be free

Am	   
I will go, I will go, I will go
			  C
Into war's waters I will wade
   Dm
And I will know without remorse
					C	  
Or regret, the fairness of our trade

Am
For you to live I took your place
					 C
A deal was made and now it's paid
   Dm
And the gold as I was told
						C	  Em
At the place where my body could be laid

E7
And then you'll steal your life
And die old in better homes
F				C
Surrounded by your peers
F				C
Without suffering or fear
F				 G
Grandchildren far and near
F					G
And none will shed a tear
F				   G
For the love no longer here

Intro

(Same as the others
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go
I'll go for you, I will
I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll fight
I'll fight for you
I will, I will, I will
I'll kill, I'll kill, I'll kill
I'll kill for you, I will
I'll die, I'll die, I'll die
I'll die for you
I will, I will, I will

E7
And if I die
I'll die, I'll die alone
F				   C   
Like Jesus on the cross
F				C
My faith cannot be tossed
F					 G
And my life will not be lost
F				  G
If my love comes across

anytime there is an E it should be an Em.

 

And there are times where you have an E and it doesn't go to E at all.

 

Not everytime, the verses "And if I die I'll dive alone on some forgotten hill" and everyone after that it is either E or E7. Nice catch on the Em for the choruses.

Can't wait for someone to post the intro to this song. It is one of the musical highlights of the new record, IMHO.

 

I am tackling that part the next time I pick up my guitar

Oh yeah, your E7's are fine. I wasn't talking about those.

The intro bit is basically picking on/around the chords listed above and yeah, most of the time it's an Em.

 

My attempt at the intro. Let me know what you think.
