Illumination by Gogol Bordello

This song is one of those great three chord songs.  The rhythm changes in the chours but 
you listen to the CD you will get it.

The rhythm is played with hard down up down stokes but let the last down stroke ring a 
This is the same for all the verse.
Intro: Am(down up down) Am(down up down) Dm(down up down) 
up down)

Verse:
Am                     Am
Don't believe them for a moment
Dm            E
For a second, do not believe, my friend
Am               Am             Dm
When you are down, them are not coming
E                 Am
With a helping hand
               Am              Dm
Of course this is no us and them
         E        (play like intro)Am   Am
But them they do not think the same
Dm            E
It's them who do not think

Chorus : the strumming is more casual here but the same chords

Am                 Dm         E
They never step on spiritual path
Am                        Dm               E
They paint their faces so differently from ours
Am                    Dm
And if you listen closely
    E                  Am(in intro rhythm)Am     Dm
That war it never stops
    E
That war it never stops
