No High Ground --- Leslie Fish
[Am]You don’t [G]need
com-[C]mittees or sta-[Am]tistics
[G]to be [Am]sure
How [Am]much the [G]rich
and [C]power-[G]ful
a-[Am]buse the [G]weak
and [Am]poor.
And [C]just as sure
as [G]nothing stops the [Am]world
from turning [Em]‘round,
The [Am]victims [E]in
the [Am]end rise [G]up
and [C]throw their [G]masters
[Am]down.
[Am]Up
to the dusty attic; [G]out with the
trusty [Am]gun.
The [C]lawyer
and the lawbook only [G]go [C]so
[G]far.
[Am]Sooner
or [G]later, [F]push
gonna come to [Am]shove.
Don’t [F]think
that it can’t [G]happen where you [Am]are.
[F]No [G]high
[Am]ground, [G]no
high [Am]ground, [F]no
high [G]ground any-[Am]more.
[F]No [G]high
[Am]ground, [G]no
high [Am]ground, [F]no
high [G]ground any-[Am]more.
The [Am]masters [G]know
it’s [C]coming [G]and
they [Am]try to [G]keep
it [Am]back
With [Am]buying [G]off,
or [C]scaring [G]off,
or de-[Am]flecting [G]the
at-[Am]tack.
They [C]may succeed
for [G]centuries in [Am]holding
tight their [Em]crown,
But [Am]soon or [E]late
the [Am]people [G]rise
and the [C]ava-[G]lanche
comes [Am]down.
[F]No [G]high
[Am]ground, [G]no
high [Am]ground, [F]no
high [G]ground any-[Am]more.
[F]No [G]high
[Am]ground, [G]no
high [Am]ground, [F]no
high [G]ground any-[Am]more.
They [Am]veil their
[G]chains in [C]pretty
[G]words of [Am]God
and [G]truth and [Am]right.
They [Am]ban the [G]poor
folks’ [C]weapons [G]and
they [Am]teach them [G]not
to [Am]fight.
They [C]play divide
and [G]conquer: ‘Go [Am]hate
the Jews or [Em]Blacks…’
Un-[Am]til their [E]victims
[Am]stand up [G]tall
and [C]dump it [G]off
their [Am]backs.
[Am]Up
to the dusty attic; [G]out with the
trusty [Am]gun.
The [C]lawyer
and the lawbook only [G]go [C]so
[G]far.
[Am]Sooner
or [G]later, [F]push
gonna come to [Am]shove.
Don’t [F]think
that it can’t [G]happen where you [Am]are.
[F]No [G]high
[Am]ground, [G]no
high [Am]ground, [F]no
high [G]ground any-[Am]more.
[F]No [G]high
[Am]ground, [G]no
high [Am]ground, [F]no
high [G]ground any-[Am]more.
The [Am]law can [G]never
[C]make you [G]free,
for [Am]look who [G]makes
the [Am]laws;
The [Am]shark makes
[G]rules to [C]sweep
the [G]smaller [Am]fish
in-[G]to its [Am]jaws.
And [C]God will
never [G]make you free, for [Am]look
who speaks for [Em]God;
The [Am]shepherd [E]fleeces
[Am]every [G]lamb
that he [C]guided [G]with
his [Am]rod.
[F]No [G]high
[Am]ground, [G]no
high [Am]ground, [F]no
high [G]ground any-[Am]more.
[F]No [G]high
[Am]ground, [G]no
high [Am]ground, [F]no
high [G]ground any-[Am]more.
[Am]Ain’t
no freedom [Em]here, [E]not
unless you [Am]take it.
[Am]Ain’t
no justice [Em]here, un-[G]less
you make it [Am]all.
[C]Ain’t
no safety [G]anywhere unless you keep
your [Am]rifle there.
[Am]Time
and change are [Em]everywhere, and [G]you’ve
gotta rise or [Am]fall
[F]No [G]high
[Am]ground, [G]no
high [Am]ground, [F]no
high [G]ground any-[Am]more.
[F]No [G]high
[Am]ground, [G]no
high [Am]ground, [F]no
high [G]ground any-[Am]more.
The [Am]only [G]friend
the [C]poor folks [G]have
is [Am]truth that [G]can’t
be [Am]killed,
For [Am]vict’ry [G]goes
not [C]to the [G]strong
but [Am]mainly [G]to
the [Am]skiled.
So [C]always
question [G]what you’re told and [Am]ask
“Who does it [Em]serve?”
And [Am]if that [E]someone
[Am]isn’t [G]you,
then [C]give ‘em what [G]they
de-[Am]serve.
[Am]Up
to the dusty attic; [G]out with the
trusty [Am]gun.
The [C]lawyer
and the lawbook only [G]go [C]so
[G]far.
[Am]Sooner
or [G]later, [F]push
gonna come to [Am]shove.
Don’t [F]think
that it can’t [G]happen where you [Am]are.
[F]No [G]high
[Am]ground, [G]no
high [Am]ground, [F]no
high [G]ground any-[Am]more.
[F]No [G]high
[Am]ground, [G]no
high [Am]ground, [F]no
high [G]ground any-[Am]more.
