(Intro.)
|(Am) /(C) / |(G) /(Dm) / |(Am) /(C) / |(G) /(Dm)
It hung by the (Am)door (C)on a rusty old man (G) (Dm)
A symbol of (Am)pride in a (C)small-town tale (G) (Dm)
I wore it through (F)fields, through rallies and rain (G) (Dm)
But now it just (F)carries a shadow of shame (G) - - -
So Ifm burning my (Am)red hat, (C) watching it glow
The (G)fire eats the lies (Dm)I didnft want to know
I canft (Am)stand with a man (C)who divide and deceives (G) (Dm)
Burning my (Am)red hat, (C) Ifm (G)setting my-(Dm)self free (Am) (C) (G) (Dm)
He said hefd fight (Am) (C)for the working manfs hand (G) (Dm)
But his words turned to (Am)dust, (C)just smile in the sand (G) (Dm)
Turns out his (Am)promises (C)were built on the backs (G) (Dm)
Of fear and of (Am)hate, and (C)Ifm done with all (G)that (Dm)
(F)I canft unsee the truth Ifve found
(G)No more blind faith, no sticking around
So Ifm burning my (Am)red hat, (C) watching it glow
The (G)fire eats the lies (Dm)I didnft want to know
I canft (Am)stand with a man (C)who protects the obscene (G) (Dm)
Burning my (Am)red hat, (C) and (G)all that it (Dm)means (Am) (C) (G) (Dm)
(Instrumental)
|(Am) /(C) / |(G) /(Dm) / |(Am) /(C) / |(G) /(Dm) / |
(F)Ashes rise like a prayer in the night
For the (G)ones hefs wronged, for whatfs still right
Ifll (F)stand for justice, not for his show (G)
The (F)flamefs my witness, (G) now the world will know
(Outro.)
