Wastelands

F#m                              E
   The boy is listening to those records from the past
   D                                C#
He wants to make them last for they make him feel alive
F#m                           E
   They are the voices of the faces on the wall
   D                    C#                              Bm  D E
He listens to them all, hangs on every little tale they tell
D
Knows them all and their life stories
E
Shares their pain and shares their glories

F#m                          E
   One day he even cut their names upon his skin
     D                         C#
They mean that much to him for them he'd take the test
F#m                         E
   His bedroom window opens to the evening air
    D                       C#                           Bm D E
The fox is in his lair, the volume of his system is full on
        D
But the neighbors moan and the parents call
     E                               A         Dsus4/A A D/A
This angry noise is the muzak of the wastelands

A         Dsus2/A A D/A G    A         Dsus4/A A D/A A         Dsus2/A A D/A G
Wastelands,              the wastelands,             wastelands

F#m                           E
   The boy is dressing in the fashion of the day
    D                                C#
The kids all dress that way, you can tell them anywhere
F#m                               E
   The boy looks out and sees his friends are waiting there
       D                            C#                                      Bm D E
In the cold electric glare of those lamps that make you think that night is day
     D
They drag their lusts into your sight
     E
With shouts and screams they meet the night

A                Amaj7            A7          A6              Aaug
 They block your way  in twos and fours in uniforms from city stores
                A                 D
They're closing in, who knows the score, it won't be long before
D/F#  E                                A         Dsus4/A A D/A
    A martyr's blood is nourishing the wastelands

A         Dsus2/A A
Wastelands,       yes, it won't be long before
  D/A               G              A         Dsus4/A A D/A
A martyr's blood is nourishing the wastelands
A         Dsus2/A A D/A G    A         Dsus4/A A D/A
Wastelands,              the wastelands
A         Dsus2/A A D/A G A         Dsus4/A A D/A
Wastelands,         oh,   wastelands
A         Dsus2/A A
Wastelands,       yes, it won't be long before
  D/A               G              A         Dsus4/A A D/A
A martyr's blood is nourishing the wastelands
A         Dsus2/A A D/A G A         Dsus4/A A D/A
Wastelands,       oooooh, wastelands
