Anthem

Intro: A#m.. ...|... ...|G#.. ...|... ...|... ...|... ...| 
 
                C# 
The birds they sang 
C#sus4            C#    C#sus4 
At the break of day 
        G# 
Start again 
              C#    C#7 
I heard them say 
        F  F7 
Don‘t dwell on what 
     A#m        A#sus2 
Has passed away 
            G#sus4.. ...|G#6.. ...|G#7.. ...|G#.. ...| 
Or what is yet to be 
 
Ah the wars they will 
Be fought again 
The holy dove 
She will be caught again 
Bought and sold 
And bought again 
The dove is never free 
 
          F#          B        F#   F#sus4 
Ring the bells that still can ring 
    F#       B           F# 
Forget your perfect offering 
             C#       B      F# 
There is a crack, a crack in everything 
                D#sus4.. ...|... ...| 
That‘s how the light gets in 
 
G#sus4.. ...|... ...|G#.. ...|... ...| 
G#7.. ...|... ...| 
 
We asked for signs 
The signs were sent: 
The birth betrayed 
The marriage spent 
Yeah the widowhood 
Of every government 
Signs for all to see 
 
I can‘t run no more 
With that lawless crowd 
While the killers in high places 
Say their prayers out loud 
But they‘ve summoned up, they‘ve summoned up 
A thundercloud 
And they‘re going to hear from me 
 
Ring the bells that still can ring 
Forget your perfect offering 
There is a crack, a crack in everything 
That‘s how the light gets in 
 
You can add up the parts 
But you won‘t have the sum 
You can strike up the march 
There is no drum 
Every heart, every heart 
To love will come 
But like a refugee 
 
Ring the bells that still can ring 
Forget your perfect offering 
There is a crack, a crack in everything 
That‘s how the light gets in 
 
Ring the bells that still can ring 
Forget your perfect offering 
There is a crack, a crack in everything 
That‘s how the light gets in 
That‘s how the light gets in 
That‘s how the light gets in
