George Washington Tab

This is a great song, from Hope of the State's first album.
 
The timing is a bit off, but its quite easy to pick up if you listen to the song.
 
A reasonable starting strumming pattern for the chord sections is D D D U
(D=Down, U=Up)
 
Many thanks to the person who produced ver 1 (in_your_world@hotmail.co.uk)

I am burning in a smoke-choked house but
D                   Bm             A
Tonight is empty of warm glows and whispered good nights

Riot, disorder. Set the banks on fire.

Once I heard it and the sound it made was sad but hopeful

Stand up be counted, no-ones buying me
