Chords for The Slits "In The Beginning There Was Rhythm"

In the beginning, _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [A] in God's face, is earth, is slime, is time, is song, is tongue, is rhythm!
[D] _ _ [E] _
Not as you dare assume, [D] not as you about lose life, not as you dare as wisdom, and not as you [Bm]
maternalize.
[A] Word, rhythm, life, rhythm, heart, and teeth, and beat, and body, and rhythm, is rhythm, is a pattern, but no more.
So if you're rhythm on, what should be [D] your music on?
_ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Where [G] music and the tunes [D] come from, it is beat, it is time, it's fun, _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [D] _
_ [B] _ _ [Ab] silence is a rhythm [D] too!
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ [A] _
_ [D] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [A]
God is made of rhythm, but you can't [E] be it, why you can't be God, [Dm] but you can see rhythm all over [A] us!
Not as [A] you can hear it, or maybe [Cm] you can see God, [D] and just didn't know where to [A] look, where to find God's _ _ rhythm!
_ [E] [A] If we only would have known God's rhythm, if we only would have [D] known God's rhythm!
[A]
Life, and pattern, and taste, and faith, and rhythm, [D] falls on reach, rhythm, art, takes rhythm on!
The [A] way we write, and our steps, and we step in time, step in the steps of the person we're stepping with,
The rhythm, we're stepping with, the rhythm, [D] is cut from trees, from water, from the air,
The rhythm, makes us create our own rhythm, based on your natural rhythm,
The rhythm, is just a beat, but I find it's a rhythm!
_ _ [E] _ Walking is a rhythm, [A] and hypnotising you, [C] in the rhythm of your head,
Time is a [A] rhythm, like the hands, the feet, the legs, going and [E] off beat,
As soon as you can still, [Dm] you start tapping [E] your feet, [A] in beat, on the bus, and back,
As soon as you can still, you start tapping your feet, in beat, with a train, and even [Am] more on the station, _
_ [D] _ _ [Em] Silence, silence is our redempt, [A] _
_ _ you see!
_ _ [D] _
_ _ What rhythm [Em] goes [A] on, and what [E] happens after death, where rhythm goes on, living or it's real, and there's someone without rhythm,
There's a someone [Bm] without roots, [A]
rhythm is [Bm] the root of life, rhythm is [A] the root of life,
You lose rhythm, and you lose roots, you [Bm] lose roots, and you lose, and you see!
[E] _ _ [A]
When [G] you've got, [E] the rhythm is so the form, [D]
of God, and comes to those who know,
Where [A] rhythm keeps the rhythm, as the album's gonna [D] play! _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
Silence, silence is our rhythm too, _ _ _
God appears in many forms, [D] but one of them is,
Rhythm, and [Ab] when you get wisdom, [A] it's you to know that God is,
Rhythm, [E] and when you get wisdom, it's you to know that God is, wisdom, and truth, and get wise,
And you are chosen to [D] be truth, and to God's gift,
Rhythm, _ _ is proof that you will never, [E] never, never lose rhythm,
Is proof that you [E] will never, never, [A] never _ _ _ lose,
_ God bless you, I [Dm] am rid of, God bless you, I am [E] rid of, [D] God bless you, I am wisdom,
God bless you, live eternal life,
Oh rhythm, it's rhythm, [G] it's roots, [A] it's our, it's eternal life,
Never [G] take it, never leave it, leave it, leave it, leave it, leave it, leave it,
God love you, _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
[A] live eternal life,
_ _ [Bb] _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ Even in the [A] weather, the climate, _ it's rhythm, _ _
You [B] [A] hear it, and you see it, and you [D] hear it, in rhythm, _ _ _
And with the north and south and all [A] directions, rhythm, _
_ That's not true, rhythm, _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] Actually, it's rhythm,
_ _ [Bb] _ _
[B] Difficult, physically, [A] how, machine, plastic, rhythm,
Maybe by [Em] mankind, but the end [Am] comes from mankind,
[A]
Like medicine comes from the air,
But then I think it's made of medicine,
Double repeat, again, and again, [E] and [Dm] again,
Can we go, like medicine, [A] actually, it's [Am] hard,
_ [G] Plastic, [A] rhythm,
_ [D] _ Civilized, actually, rhythm,
[F] Actually, it's rhythm,
[A] _ _ Oh, [G] when nature would want their [E] plant,
Yeah, when nature would want their plant,
In the [D] beginning, _ _
_ _ It's silence, [A] it's silence,
Silence, silence, silence,
[Dm] It's rhythm, _ [Am] it's silence,
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
Silence is our rhythm too, _ _ _ _ _
