Gratitude And Thanks Ukulele tab

	              G                  C 
I asked a student of higher schooling 
    G              D 
He said he didn’t care 
       G                C 
When I asked about the sixties 
      G                D 
They simply said long hair 
        G             C 
Saw a child getting programmed 
          G                  D 
Getting programmed when she wakes 
       G             C 
And I heard a raving elder 
        G             D 
Cursing 20 years too late 
    Em      Am         C 
Oh how the bastards screwed me 
D      G           C       D 
 Son, life’s too short to wait 
               Am 
And then the students 
    Bm       C 
Of higher schooling 
 D        G       C        D 
Hid more pills inside his plate 
  G           C           D 
So I’d like to send gratitude 

And thanks 
G            C 
 To those who had the courage 
      D 
To defy the mighty ranks 
                 C 
Send it to the students 
               G 
Who waved the banners 
           D 
Who held flowers up to the tanks 
           C 
And to the ones who are 
       G 
Still fighting 
    D 
Yes all my gratitude 
             G    C G D G C G D 
And all my thanks 


           G             C 
So as you sit baked and hammered 
     G             D 
So grateful to be dead 
         G                 C 
Saying freedom’s here to chill out 
    G                 D 
So sit and rest your head 
           G 
Think of those who fought 
     C 
For your right 
     G                   D 
The path you walk, they paved 
      G                    C 
And those who fought for their right 
    G             D 
To carry until today 
             G                C 
When it was they who fed the hungry, 
             G            D 
Stormed the pentagon for peace 
          G               C 
While the army rounded strangers up 
 G                   D 
made them instant police 
  G               C 
They who made a union, 
             G 
dodged the draft, 
                D 
and filled the jails 
       G                C 
And spread a message of unity 
   G                 D 
Across the nation’s rails 
                    Em 
And said we’re destroying 
     Am         C 
The house that Man have built 
 D           G         C       D 
Kicking the doors and pulling nails 
    Am            Bm       C 
And you have the nerve to tell me 
D     G    C         D 
 That everyone has failed 
   G 
No, you should send 
C           D 
 Your gratitude and thanks 
G            C 
 To those who had the courage 
      D 
To defy the mighty ranks 
                 C 
Send it to the students 
               G 
Who waved the banners 
           D 
Who held flowers up to the tanks 
            C 
And to the ones who are 
       G 
Still fighting 
    D 
Yes all my gratitude  
                 Am D Am D C D C D x2 
And all my thanks 

           C 
I'd like to send out a 
 D 
Head, help, heart, and hand 
     G                C 
To those who had the courage 
    D 
To reach and rise and stand 
                C 
Send it to the lovers 
         G 
And the fighters 
               D 
To those who stood up and still stand 
              C 
Those who unchained their wrist 
      G 
And clenched their fist 
      D 
Both here and in faraway lands
