You Must Be Willing by Against me! a B-Side off of their Thrash Unreal 7". Very simple
powerful song, like all of AM!'s. A pretty long song for them though.
Enjoy.
(Easy slow-moving strum pattern like in song)

Intro:
Let there be a volume that cannot be denied.
Let there be an emotion that you cannot fake
A greatness unanimously acknowledged, a lie
that you just cannot tell.
Let them know hatred, fear, and war. Let
there be peace for us all.
With our goals one day met, let us know a
feeling of great accomplishment.
With our failures complete, let us learn to survive.
[CHORUS] (optional: pick the strings other than strum )
Your body will know if it’s not the right way
to go, just listen
closely to your heart and follow.
You must be willing to abandon it all.
You must be willing to starve.
Let us challenge the wait for a day of reckoning.
Let us deny shame and guilt.
Let us know with absolute certainty that we
were fools to ever second guess ourselves.
Let us know a feeling of invincibility, as
real as our fragile bones.
There's a truth to be learned, I'm sure of
it, just like I know there
is nothing at all.
[CHORUS x2] (optional: pick the strings other than strum )
Your body will know if it’s not the right way
to go, just listen
closely to your heart and follow.
You must be willing to abandon it all.
You must be willing to starve.
