Verse 1
D
Work and wedding
is all she's known
Lived by the golden rule since
G
the day she was born
D
Through all these troubled years
C
She raised a family
G
There was no time for tears
D
She's done her best, the kids are grown
G
She prays each day for a life of her own
D
Last night she disappeared,
C
she's joined another tribe called
Heretics and
G
D
G
Privateers.
D
He's walked this treadmill
since sixty -four
Now he shows a little gray and
G
they show him the door
D
God bless the company
C
For two weeks severance pay
G
And all that sympathy
D
All he believed and all he learned
What made him proud and what he
G
thought he had earned
D
Have now become his fears
C
He'll join the other side
G

The heretics and privateers

D
He's 21, she's just 19, ah,
G
D
but they learned a lot from what they've seen, they know
G
Blind obedience to the rules
C
Can leave you shattered,
D
lickin' your wounds
He holds her close,
looks at her face, he says
Chasin' the carrot is a never
G
-endin' race
D
Success at any price
C
Demands it's sacrifice
G
Some part of us will die
D
She says one size does not fit all
And stepping on others, well
G
It won't make us stand tall
D
Let's find the last frontier
C
And live another way
G
Like heretics and privateers
D
Let's make our own frontier
C
And raise the children there
G
Like heretics and privateers
D
Mm -hmm
C
Whoa -oh
G
Heretics and privateers
