What was I thinking of when I wrote this?
Here's Patriot, pay no attention to that other song above..=)
D G
And the rivers shall open for the righteous (2x)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday
D G D G
I went walking, with my brother
D G A G
And he wondered, oh, how I am

D G D G
I am a patriot, and I love my country

D G D G
And I ain't no communist, and I ain't no socialist
And I ain't no capitalist, and I ain't no imperialist
And I ain't no democrat, I sure ain't no republican either
D G D G D G A
I only know one party, and that is freedom, I am, I am, I am
Okey this should be more like it.........

Pearl Jam, Patriot (Steve Van Zandt cover)
The sun was out. Had some money. Cruised into town. Got myself a bootleg
and some food. Went home. Played it. And there was this song on it, which
had something to it.
Martin.
D A
And the rivers shall open for the righteous (2x)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday
D A D A
I went walking, with my brother
D A G A
And he wondered, oh, how I am
Said what I believe with my soul
Ain't what I see with my eyes
And there's no turning back this time
D A D A
I am a patriot, and I love my country
D A G A
Because my country is all I know
I wanna be with my family
People who understand me
I got no place else to go...I am a patriot...
I went walking, with my girlfriend
She looked so fine, I said baby what's on your mind
She said I wanna run like the lions
Released from their cages
Released from the rages burning in my soul tonight...I am a patriot...
D A D A
And I ain't no communist, and I ain't no socialist
And I ain't no capitalist, and I ain't no imperialist
And I ain't no democrat, I sure ain't no republican either
D A D A D G A
I only know one party, and that is freedom, I am, I am, I am
I am a patriot, and I love my country
Because my country is all I know
And the rivers shall open for the righteous (2x)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday
Someday, someday, someday...
Feel free to write me. Sunde@fys.ku.dk
