Chords and Lyrics Drive-By Truckers - Surrender Under Protest

Artist : Drive-By Truckers
Song : Surrender Under Protest

Intro : A  Am Em  D  Bm  C  G

Verse 1 :
           Am               Em   
From the comfort zone of history
        G                    D   
On the lips of trusted loved ones
        Bm              C              G    
To the wounded, fragile minds of angry youths
      Am          Em  
No sooner was it over
           G             D    
Than the memory made it nobler
        Bm              C                   G 
The selective means by which to point the view

Chorus : 
     Am         Em      D   
Compelled, but not defeated
      Am          Em               D 
Surrender under protest if you must
  Am            Em      D   
Compelled, but not defeated

A  Am Em  D  Bm  C  G

Verse 2 : 
           Am               Em
If it's all you can remember
        G                    D
Then it's been that way forever
        Bm              C              G
And for six long generations it's been told
               Am            Em
But-among-the fallen was tradition
        G                    D
That tradition was the mission
               Bm              C              G
And that the wrongness of the sin was not the goal

Chorus : 
     Am         Em      D   
Compelled, but not defeated
      Am          Em               D 
Surrender under protest if you must
  Am            Em      D   
Compelled, but not defeated

A  Em  D  A 

Verse 3 :  
           Am               Em
Does the color really matter?
           Am               Em
On the face you blame for failure
        G              D              A
On the shamin' for a battle's losing cause
           Am               Em
If the victims and aggressors
           Am               Em
Just remain each others others
        G              D              A
And the instigators never fight their own

A  Am Em  D  Bm  C  G

Chorus : 
     Am         Em      D   
Compelled, but not defeated
      Am          Em               D 
Surrender under protest if you must
  Am            Em      D   
Compelled, but not defeated
     Am          Em               D
Surrender under protest if you must
      Am          Em               D
Surrender under protest if you must

Drive-By Truckers - Ramon Casiano

Chords and Lyrics Drive-By Truckers - Ramon Casiano

Artist : Drive-By Truckers
Song : Ramon Casiano

Intro : E E D A
        E D E D D

Verse 1 : 
A                       E
It all started with the border
E                               D
And that's still where it is today
D                         A
Someone killed Ramon Casiano
A                     E
And the killer got away
E
Down by the Sister Cities river
E                      D
Two boys with way more pride than sense
D                           A
One would fall and one would prosper
A                     E
Never forced to make amends

Instrumental : D A E D

Verse 2 : 
D                  E
He became a border agent
E                        D
And supplemented what he made
D                      A
With creative deportation
A                        E
And missing ammo by the case
E
Since Bullet ran the operation
E                            D
There's hardly been a minute since
D                             A
There ain't a massing at the border
A                            E
From Chinese troops to terrorists

Instrumental : D A D A E E D A E

Bridge : 
E                          D
He had the makings of a leader
D                     A
Of a certain kind of men
A                             D
Who need to feel the world's against him
D                     A
Out to get 'em if it can
A                            G
Men whose trigger pull their fingers
G                            A
Of men who'd rather fight than win
A                   E
United in a revolution
E                       D
Like in mind and like in skin

Instrumental : D A E D E D A E D

Verse 3 : 
D                          E
It all started with the border
E                            D
And that's still where it is today
D                        A
Down by the Sister Cities river
A                        E
But for sure no one can say
E                                 
But killing's been the bullet's business
E               D
Since back in 1931
D                       A
Someone killed Ramon Casiano
A                           E
And Ramon still ain't dead enough

Outro : E D A (x2)
