Intro: A  D  F#  A  D  F# 

                     A 
See the man with the military mind 
                       F#m 
Tryin' to make us all afraid all the time 
                      D               E                  F#m 
Tryin' to make us all stay inside and lock our doors and windows 
                  A 
See the man's got too much to count 
                        F#m 
Tryin' to recollect the Sermon on the Mount 
                D                     E                 F#m 
Blessed are the poor when they're all swinging from the gallows 


Pre-Chorus 
             D                       A 
But I ain't afraid no more, I ain't afraid no more 
         D                          E 
I ain't afraid no more, no I ain't afraid 


               A                   D                F#m 
'Cause however long the night, the dawn will break again 
          A                   D                F#m 
We'll be around when you have lost your oldest friends 
                A              D           Bm              F#m 
There's nothin' you can say or do to us to drown out this amen 
               A                   D                F#m 
'Cause however long the night, the dawn will break again 


                  A 
See the poet with nothin' left to say 
                      F#m 
Starin' down at blank pages all day 
                D             E                 F#m 
Let the alcohol take you away and sleep the way fools do 
                       A 
See the beast with the gasoline hand 
                    F#m 
Breathin' fire, drawin' lines in the sand 
                D                        E                 F#m 
Pray we find ourselves a better plan and die the way we used to 


Pre-Chorus 
             D                       A 
But I ain't afraid no more, I ain't afraid no more 
         D                          E 
I ain't afraid no more, no I ain't afraid 


        A                   D                F#m 
However long the night, the dawn will break again 
          A                    D                  F#m 
We'll be around when they have found your next of kin 
                A              D           Bm              F#m 
There's nothin' you can say or do to us to drown out this amen 
               A                   D                F#m 
'Cause however long the night, the dawn will break again 


Bridge: 
                       D 
See the woman with the roses in her hair 
                          A 
Bringin' lovin' when it's too much to bear 
                     D 
Tell me I can make a difference this time 
                  E 
All I gotta do is make it all rhyme 


Solo: A  D  F#m  A  D  Bm  F#m 


        A                   D                F#m 
However long the night, the dawn will break again 
          A                    D                  F#m 
We'll be around when they have found your next of kin 
                A              D           Bm              F#m 
There's nothin' you can say or do to us to drown out this amen 
               A                   D                F#m 
'Cause however long the night, the dawn will break again 

            A     D  F#m 
Will break again
