5 to 9 Chords & Lyrics by The Riot Before
5 to 9
guitar chords lyrics
There's lots of palm muting and sometimes ringing out just listen for the changes.
Also when Brett plays C and Am sometimes he drops his pinkie on the third fret of the B
He does this in the outro and in between verses.
Like so:
C Am
E ----0-0-----0-0---------|
B ----1-3-----1-3---------|
G ----0-0-----2-2---------|
D ----2-2-----2-2---------|
A ----3-3-----0-0---------|
E ----x-x------x-x--------|
Hope I could explain that well enough. Anyway it's a really fun song with awesome
Hope you enjoy!
C
Tired muscles, tired eyes
Am
Can't sleep through this Oaxacan night
Em
He's kept away from dreaming, haunted by thoughts of failing
C
The family whom he shares a bed
Am
A tiny room even less bread
Em
He cries out to himself silently
C Am Em
I am not a man no I am not a man
C Am
I am not a man I can't feed my children
Em
This is no life for them
C Am Em
C
So he's out of bed with the sunrise
Am
He kisses his wife and kids goodbye
Em
Then heads north to the border To work, become a provider
C
But gathered at the country line
Am
Are protesters all holding signs
Em
He can't read but translates perfectly
C Am Em
I am not a man No I am not a man
C Am
No I am not a man I'm just a Mexican
Em
Illegal immigrant
Dm
The politicians the pundits the public debate
Am G F
But one question's lost in policy
Am C
"Is a man not a man if he's born outside a boundary?"
Dm
Stumbling through the desert alone and afraid
Am G F
He almost dies from the heat
G
But he thinks of his family and that keeps him going
F
He won't stop for death least the laws of a country G
Arrested is no threat
F
when you're already living unfree
Unfree!
C
So he works the fields from 5 to 9
Am
Plus any job that he can find
Em
Saves up all his money, sends it to his family
C
Before he falls asleep at night
Am
A thousand miles from his life
Em
He assuredly repeats
C Am Em
I am a human Yeah I am a human
C Am
Yeah I am a human a father a husband
Em
A global citizen
C Am Em
C Am Em
Not a debatable statistic
C Am Em
I'm not your problem economic
C Am
I'm not a threat to patriotic
Em
That's idiotic
C
I Am a...
