Rush - Bastille Day: chords

       E          G     C            D    A D
Ooh, there's no bread, let them eat cake.
  E        G        C           D   C  D
There's no end to what they'll take.
  E          G        C     D    A D
Flaunt the fruits of noble birth.
 E        G      C      D    C D
Wash the salt into the earth.

Chorus:
 G          D/F# G    C     B     A
But they're marching to Bastille Day.
    G                A                D
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize.
  G      D/F# G  C       B    A
Free the dungeons of the innocent.
     G                   A               D
The king will kneel and let his kingdom rise.

Ooh, bloodstained velvet, dirty lace
Naked fear on every face
See them bow their heads to die
As we would bow when they rode by

Chorus:
And we're marching to Bastille Day
The guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Sing, oh choirs of cacophony
The king has kneeled to let his kingdom rise

Lessons taught but never learned
All around us, anger burns
Guide the future by the past
Long ago the mould was cast

Chorus:
For they marched up to Bastille Day
The guillotine claimed her bloody prize
Hear the echoes of the centuries
Power isn't all that money buys
