(VERSE 1)

                                              "aa   aa         aaaah"
(repeat last 2 bars x4)
A      C#              E  A  D
Hungry mouths to feed,
G       A
Sick aggregate.
C#    G#  B    F#
Sworn in, scorning,
C#       F#                D
Fast and just wheezing for air.
A   B
And hail.
A      C#         E  A  D
Golden phrasing I,
G          A
Lights and principles.
C# G# B     F#
On-ly squeaking.
C#       F#           D    A
Luck's ferocious left hand,
B
Stalled.
Eb  Bb   C#  G#  E                 A   Eb
Now mult-i-ply a ten-strong baying million,
F   C            D              A
All charred, all hearts full of hurting.
F          Bb C
Testifying in me.
(G  O - basically the main verse melody with wah pedal and a bit of tremolo picking here and there)

                                              "aa   aa         aaaah"
(repeat last 2 bars x4)

(VERSE 2)

                                              "aa   aa         aaaah"
(repeat last 2 bars x4)
A           C#          E  A  D
Thwart this ditzy scene,
G      A
Gilded capital.
C#  G#   B    F#
Hanging, swinging,
C#      F#                  D
Loss of fury, heed, loss of spark.
A      B
Raise! Pull!
Eb  Bb   C#  G#  E                 A   Eb
Now mult-i-ply a ten-strong baying million,
F   C            D              A
All charred, all hearts full of hurting.
F          Bb C
Testifying in me.
Eb     Bb      C#          G#     E                   A Eb
Please calming time and disarm to cease this lynching army,
F   C        D            A
Bad hour, condemned and revolting,
F               Bb   C
Lasting out not shortly.
Eb     Bb       C#       G#      E               A     Eb
All ranting, merciless chanting, smash my legs beneath me,
F     C       D           A
Lives darkly, this is the moment,
F               Bb  C
Honest, this is rid me.
