Lyrics

When the Enemy’s Making Mistakes, Don’t Interrupt Them (Dargan)

(descending riff over D, E)

A D A When the enemy’s making mistakes, don’t interrupt them E When they start to beat themselves, you just lie low D E Without fighting you’ll win the war A F#m And avoid these battles evermore Bm E D (descending riff over D, E) When the enemy’s making mistakes, just let them go

D E Ignorance, fury, or pride D E Coming in from your broadside D E G Let history be your guide, and…

CHORUS

Minimal energy spent All advice and consent Strive to circumvent, and…

CHORUS

Bm A Patience as they’re causing their own downfall Bm D G A Just step aside as they’re digging their own grave

GTR SOLO over VERSE

CHORUS

This is great- great lyric, great advice and a fine fine demo- love that descending riff, it really elevates it all.

That's such good advice. Although it never does any harm to give them the occasional nudge towards the edge of the precipice. They're nearly there, after all...
