Chords for : Levellers - Fifteen Years
--------------------------------------
Opening : Am Am G Am
Verse :
Am
I never was a violent man
G Am
Said the man in the bar with his head in his hands
He's trying his best to understand
G Am
The cause of his dismay
But years of gin have broken him
And left him cold where he fitted in
And it's too late now to turn around
And find another way.
Chorus :
Dm F
All the laughs in the late night lock-in
Am G
They fade away when he gets in
Dm F
The girl from fifteen years ago
Am
Has packed and gone away.
Verse :
That's never how it used to be
What happened to all that energy ?
You took one too many liberties
I'm tired of being afraid
So after a fight she took flight
Hiding swollen eyes and a wounded pride
The best years of her life denied
And sold for liquid shares.
Chorus :
And the laughs in the late night lock-in
They fade away when he gets in
The girl from fifteen years ago
Has packed and gone away.
Bridge :
Am G
And the victims of this world
Am G
They're advertised on posters
Am G
Just a beach and a pretty girl
Am G
You just take this potion.
Verse :
It's another week 'till his cheque comes through
He's got a fiver left now to spend on food
But the doors of the bar are open
And he breaks another rule
He sits on the stool that bears his name
He's got a favorite glass now that's called the same
And he's never been kept waiting
'Cause he pays the landlord's wage.
Chorus :
And the laughs in the late night lock-in
They fade away when he gets in
The girl from fifteen years ago
Am G
Has packed and gone away
All the laughs in the late night lock-in
They fade away when he gets in
The girl from fifteen years ago
Has packed and gone away.

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 LEVELLERS 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.
