Chords for American Dread

Listen, in this time of tribulations, trials and judgment, only dread will come over. _
_ I hate a song that makes you think that you're not any good.
I hate a song that makes you think that you're just born to lose, bound to lose, no good
to nobody, no good for nothing, because you're either too old or too young or too fat or
too slim or too ugly or too this or too that.
Songs run you down.

I am out to sing songs that will prove to you [D] that this is your [G] world, that the past
hit you pretty hard and knocked you down for a dozen loops, no matter how hard it run you
down or rolled over you, no matter what color, what size you are, how you're built.
I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself and your work.
The songs I sing are made up for the most part by all sorts of folks just about like you.
