G
Well they broke off the locks and they opened the doors
C
Pushed out the windows andpainted the floors
D G Gsus4 G
Grew a little garden outside in the dust and sand
G
Raised up the roof til it touched the sky
C
Picked up the pieces that were left to die
D G
Brought this building back with healing hands
Bm C
When you see trouble
Bm C
You're bound to move it on the double
Am Bm
Cause you leave your mark upon everything
C Bm
In your head those Liberty Bells still ring
Am Bm D
But we know that you don't even mean a thing you say
So you brought in the army to do job
Of kicking in doors and swinging theie clubs
Back in the morning to watch themselves on the news
You're doing the bidding of the money men
If it turns out right, they'll call you friend
One little favour, how could you really refuse
And oh my heart is sinking
Same old useless worn out thinking
You live your life in te court of kings
Bow to the ruler and kiss the ring
But we don't even understand a thing you say
Chorus:
G C G C
It could happen to you, It could happen to you
G D
It could happen to you sometime when you least expect it
Em A
Done by the one that you never suspected
C D
All your bills come due
G
It could happen to you.
You really gatta wonder what you did it for
Cause you don't need an army to move out the poor
You brought it out once I know you'd bring it again
And oh my heart is sinking
Same old useless worn out thinking
You live your life in the court of kings
Count your money as the raven sings
Safe and sound as the wrecking ball swings
But all your riches won't mean a thing someday
G C
Oh it could happen to you
G C
Oh it could happen to you
Oh it could happen to you (it could happen to you)
Oh it could happen to you
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BLUE RODEO tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
