A Thousand Men
Joe Pug
Capo 5th
G C G Em D G
See Thomas Jefferson, on the eve of bunker hill
G C G
Writing Words to die for, writing sentences to kill
C G Em D G
They've come to paint his portrait, so he grabs a chair and sits
C G
As the surgeon orders cotton, for a thousand tourniquets
Em C D G
For god and country, for us and them
C Em
Every good idea kills at least a thousand men
C Em
At least a thousand men
C D G
See the able bodied Christain, in a dark and savage land
C G
Telling all those who will listen
C G
That god was once a man
Em D G
Through needles eyes so narrow, he will lead them four by four
C G
He's got 900 shackles, he needs at least a hundred more
Em C D G
A thousand men, a thousand men
C Em
Every good idea kills at least a thousand men
C Em
At least a thousand men
C D G
G C G C
See the able bodied student, in his laboratory coat,
C G
Whispering calculations like prayers stuck in his throat
C G Em D G
Soon he will discover some flawless medicine
C G
But right now he needs an oven that holds at least a thousand men
Em C D G
Some are the means, some are the ends
C Em
Every good idea kills at least a thousand men
C Em
At least a thousand men
C D G
1001, 1001, every man I know thinks that he's 1001
D Em C Em
909, his day is done, every man I know thinks that hes 1001
D Em C Em
I know im 1001.
C D G
