Capo 1                                             
Am                   Am7                           (La France Nouvelle x3)
All pledge to things as they had been              
Am                     Am7                         Are you pledged to what was as to what will?
As they were and shall remain                      Are you to meet your new master still?
C                        Am7                       Who remembers the fortress as a warm place     
Are you to meet your new owners yet?               And longs for a realm full of grace
C                   Am7                            
Can't run a country on regret                      You're one of them are you not?
                                                   You'd hope the rumour will die young
Where once just none seemed amiss                  But sometimes a flair goes up, and
So how has now come to this?                       You see where every one has gone
Thus spoke the Anywhere                            
Thus spoke the Atlantacist                         [Chorus]
                                                   
[Chorus]                                           [then, "La France Nouvelle" chanted after every line]
[a lot of the chord changes fall                   They set their blackest flag
on the "France" sung by the backing vocals]        Within the very stone
Dm                                                 Of this land once loved
   Are we sure this place                          Soft and virginal
F                                                  To violate our code
   Set to burn our city                            In this spiritual war
C                                                  Against the consensus
   Would not bring light to it                     Will you stand against us?
Dm                                                 By long charitous flame
   This one you cannot cancel                      Spat upon and beheaded
Dm                                                 Was it all in vain
   Living on rights they'd never                   This new life so dreaded                              
F
Give. In return our pity  
C
   Is but/quite a sorry counsel 
Dm
   Is but a sorry counsel
Dm
   This one you shouldn't cancel
