Chadwick Stokes – Cease Fire chords

[Verse 1]
DSo rested he by the tumtum tree
GIs that the prosecutor or the defence attorney?
ASaid he "The system is working" and we had to agree,
D                   AIt's working all too well

DAt last he got up and readied himself to leave
GAnd we all shook our heads in shared disbelief
A                                         DCoz we swore that this would never happen again


[Chorus]
                GWe got to cease fire
                DWe got to cease fire
                AWe got to cease fire
                                   Dbefore we all just shoot ourselves away


[Verse 2]
DIf it were a different town, if it was the other way around
GIf it was a white boy that lay still on the ground
A                                                        DWould there be any difference? Would there be a trial then?

DUntil the fire hose is beaten back by the rain
GUntil all our colour is more or less the same
A                                                          DUntil we can't stand to see another father by his child's grave


[Chorus]
                GWe got to cease fire
                DWe got to cease fire
                AGot to cease fire
                                   Dbefore we all just shoot ourselves away

             GYeah can we cease fire?
                DWe got to cease fire
             ACan we cease fire?
                                   Dbefore we all just shoot ourselves away
