This is the chord progression of Think Before You Drink by The Voidz on Piano, Guitar, Ukulele and Keyboard.

C                                          G
As a child I had no knowledge
G                                C
No way to understand
F                                             Dm
My father kept me sheltered
G                                             C
He would hold me in his hand

C                                             G
You know I was protected
G                                                   C
With no threat from anywhere
F                                 Dm
I drank my mother’s milk
G                                             C
And I didn’t have a care

C                                  G
But it didn’t last forever
G                                             C
I was soon sent off to school
F                                                       Dm
Where the teachers gave me poison
G                                    C
And I drank it like a fool

C                                             G
We took pride in our past
G                                                            C
What our leaders said they fought for
F                              Dm
To justify the murders
G                                             C
Of the children in the war

C                                             G
They said that Mother Nature
G                                             C
Couldn’t give us what we need
F                                               Dm
And that explained the factories, and
G                                 C
pollution in the stream

C                                             G
They gave us all the facts
G                                     C
Explaining economic war
F                                 Dm
And like a fool I listened
G                                             C
But I won’t listen anymore

[Outro]
F                                             Dm
So before the final slaughter
C                       F              Am
Please stop and think
F                                             Dm
You can lead a horse to water
C                       F                       Am
But you cannot make it drink

F                                             Dm
So before the final slaughter
C             F                       Am
Please stop and think
F                                             Dm
You can lead a horse to water
C                       F                       Am
But you cannot make it drink
Dm
