Room Without a Window

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Intro:

G G G

The position being taken is not to be mistaken for attempted

D G G G

education or righteous accusation. Only a description, just

G G G G G G

an observation of the pitiful condition of our degeneration.

[Verse:](played with ska upstrokes)

C F G

Walls made of opinions, through which we speak and never

C F G

listen. Ceiling made of pride, vicious and self-satisfied.

C F G C

Door that's made of rage, hard and slowly aged, always

F G

closing tighter with every war we wage.

Chorus:

Bb F# F Bb

In this room without a window can't see out. Room without a

F# F

window, Can't see out! Can't see out!

Verse:

C F G

Floor is made of lives, we'll gladly end to stay inside.

C F G

Corners made of borders, and borders made of law and order.

C F G

Painted with the words of politicians and religion,

C F G

plastered with the wreckage of our cultural division.

Chorus

[Toast break:] (C - F repeated.)

Ha ha ha ha ha Oh, we so stupid! Killing each other.

Don't we learn nothin'?

[Bridge:](2x) (continue C - F)

Got a room inside our minds, yeah we gotta, we can't see out because

we're blind, but I got to choke. Gotta make ourselves drink (all right)

from a room without a window to a different way to think.

Intro

Then play the verse chords, with the words from the chorus.

End on a C.

That's it! I hope this sounds right to you. E-mail me with any comments, etc.
