Intro 1
(A minor) (G major) (F major) (E major)
Verse 1
The (A minor) country
is a bleeding (G major) child
And a broken, (F major) withered whore (E major)
With (A minor) righteous anger, time (G major) after time,
Come (F major) clawing at her door (E major)
And the fatherless (A minor) child,
(G major) running wild,
Screaming (F major) - - No no (E major) more
Please (D major) believe – my (F major) hands are clean (D major)
I've never seen the guil (F major) lot (D major) ine
Must you (C major) say I'm (A minor) guilty,
(G major) guilty all the same?
Such (C major) things can (E minor) 't be in my (A major) USA
'Cause (F sharp major) no no no, it (E major) just can't be
In a land (F sharp major) like mine, all (E major) de cent and free
You (F sharp major) must be mistaken, not (E major) my country
(F sharp major) Such things happen across (E major) the sea
(G major) No no no, (B major) not (E major) my land
You're (A minor) green and rotting corpses
are (F major) reeking in the sun
(E major) Calvary horses laying in their dung
And the plague (A minor) on your household's
(D major) only just begun (E major)
You can (D major) see that it's come (E major)
You (D major) raise (E major) up the guns
And (D major) aim them to blot out the (E major) sun
But no (F sharp minor) no (F sharp major) no, it (E major) just can't be
In a land (F sharp minor) like (F sharp major) mine, (E major) decent and free
You must (F sharp minor) be (F sharp major) mistaken, not (E major) my country
(F sharp minor) Such (F sharp major) things happen across (E major) the sea
(G major) No no no, (B major) not (E major) my land
(A minor) I'll go on giving to charity (G major)
Long as (F major) I needn't look back at (E major) life
I'll go to church, (A minor) be proud of my (G major) piety
I'll pray (F major) only when you say it's all (E major) right
I want to follow (A minor) in your society (G major)
'Cause I'm (F major) too damned scared (E major) to fight
I will (D major) close myself up (F major) in a (D major) wall
Pretend I can't see or hear (F major) at (D major) all
I will (C major) point my (A minor) finger (G major) back across the sea
Ig (C major) noring all (A minor) that goes
(G major) on around me
Saying (C major) "Look what (E minor) goes on
in (A major) that other country"
'Cause no (F sharp minor) (F sharp major) no no, it (E major) just can't be
In a land (F sharp minor) like (F sharp major) mine, (E major) decent and free
You must (F sharp minor) be mistaken,
(F sharp major) (F sharp minor) not my (E major) country
Such (F sharp minor) thing (F sharp major) s happen across (E major) the sea
No (G major) (B major) (E major) (G major) (B minor) (B major) (E major) no (G major) (B major) no, not (E major) my land (A major) (E major)
