This is "Now We Can See" by the generally excellent Thermals,
off their forthcoming album of the same title.
Just play powerchords. Otherwise, it's Dm and Am, not D and A.
If you want to get fancy, for the F at the end of the main riff,
play this:
D-2-1-2-1-2-2
A-2-2-2-2-2-2
E-1-0-1-0-1-1
Intro/Chorus
oh-way-ah-hoo-whoah
oh-way-ah-hoo-whoah
oh-way-ah-hoo-whoah (play this much a bunch of times)
then
Verse
We were born in the desert
we were reared in a cave
We conquered in the sun
but we lived in the shade
Yeah baby we were savage
we existed to kill
Our history is damaged,
at least it was a thrill
Verse II
But now we can see!
Now that our vision is strong
We dont have to
Admit we were wrong!
Now we can see
but the images don't stick
Our enemies lay dead on the ground
and still we kick!
Chorus (main riff)
Now we can see
The warnings and the signs
Reading between the lines like writing on the wall
Now we can see!
What do we need?
We should need nothing, nothing at all!
Verse chords
We were born on an island
we grew out of the sand
Never saw another creature
Never knew another man
Yeah baby we were nothing
we existed for less
Our present was empty
our history a mess
Verse II chords
But now we can see
Now we do as we please
Now we do away with our disease
Now we can see
Now the image sticks!
We still need the medicine quick
We still take the pill
But only for the fix! Hey!
Main riff chords for the solo
Chorus again
Now we can see
The warnings and the signs
Reading between the lines like writing on the wall
Now we can see!
What do we need?
We should need nothing, nothing at all!
Main riff
oh-way-ah-hoo-whoah
oh-way-ah-hoo-whoah
oh-way-ah-hoo-whoah x2
Yeah, now we can see!
End on F.
Yeah, so, sweet song. Stays in your head pretty much forever though.
