The Cause / New Model Army (CD Smalltown England)
-------------------------------------------------

[Verse 1]
Cm              D#             A#              Gm
Headline in the paper tells of fighting in the streets
G#         A#             Cm
   Teenage battles, six arrested
Cm             D#                A#                Gm
Mutters in the council chambers, something must be done
G#            A#                     Cm
   Before our city streets become in-fested

    G#             A#                   Cm
And mommy turns to daddy "where was our little boy that day?
G#                  A#               Gm
  Why can't he just stay at home and watch the silver screen?"


[Chorus]
    Dm     Em           Am
But all we wanted was a cause we could fight for
Dm                 Em                Am
One chance for the heroes to win the day
Dm     Em           Am                                 Dm
All we wanted was a chance to see the world in black & white
	     Em                Am
Instead of a hundred shades of gray


[Verse 2]
Cm               D#         A#             Gm
Watch the raving maniacs go carving up the night
G#        A#                    Cm
  See the barmy smiles on their faces
Cm            D#            A#                 Gm
See the crazy bombers going cross their deadly wires
G#         A#                    Cm
  Blow themselves into a million pieces

G#                  A#                Cm
  The bands play it hard and fast go ripping through their sets
G#                A#                Gm
  Adrenalin going flowing drink and no regrets


[Chorus]
    Dm     Em           Am
But all we wanted was a cause we could fight for ...


[Verse 3]
What do we tell our grandchildren
When they ask us about the good old days
Boring empty daytime jobs and frozen up inside

Do you not remember what your daddy told you long ago
God, how the old men used to fight


[Chorus]
    Dm     Em           Am
But all we wanted was a cause we could fight for ...
