Vera Sola - The Colony

      Capo 3rd Fret

[Intro]
Am

[Verse 1]
                          E
I found myself a new world
                     Am
Sailed around it's ring
Am
I bought myself a country
E                         Am
And I crowned myself it's king
Dm         Am
I made myself religion
D                Am   
Carved Christ in I--vory
Dm              Am
And I deemed an air tight Sunday
E                     Am
Justify myself while I read
E          Am
I clawed myself a nation
E                          Am
And I shocked it's water ways
                 E               Am
I've cracked the dirt for smoking
                 E      F          
Out runs all the energy
                Am
And I've got myself a pipeline
F          Am
I did not sell the mud
F         Am
I take myself a forest
E                              Am
To suck the growing up of the shine

[Bridge]
Dm      Am      F       Am
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh ooh 
F       E       F       Am
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Dm       Am      F       Am
Ooh ooh  ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh
F        E       F       Am
ooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

[Verse 2]
                                 E
I've helped a ghost from dancing
                                  Am
Swept the prayers from lost ones way
Am
I've kept the drums from breathing
E                             Am
It's time to walk the plank I swear
E                            Am
I's time to walk the plank I swear
F          E
Just me at sunset Canada
F                 E
I run from the condors way
F         E
I feed on love and body
E
Take an anthem and the stars from me
E                                 Am
Take an anthem and the stars from me
