Here is my interpretation of this great song... Hope this will be useful to somebody :o) Intro (tuning is drop-D throughout song) |------x--2--0-----0--------0-|-6-6----------------| |------x--1--0-----0--------0-|-6-6----------------| |---------------2-----2--0----|-----------------xx-| |--0--------------------------|-4-4---6-6-0-5---xx-| |--0--------------------------|-2-2---6-6-0-5---xx-| |--0--------------------------|-------6-6-0-5---xx-| D7 (Chords are fingerpicked) Circle around the park Emadd9 Joining hands in silence D7 Bmadd13- G/B Watch the evil black the sky D7 The storm has ripped the shelter Emadd9 Of illusion from our brow B5 G#5 Gmaj7(II) This power is no mystery to us now. Dmaj7 D Dsus2 Leave your spirit genocide Gmaj7 G Gmaj7 The cancer you won�t remove Dmaj7 D Gmaj7 We cast our funeral rose inside G Gmaj7 And bury the need to prove D Gmaj7 (Riff 1) Our mutilation is to gain from the system Riff 1: |------------------------| |------------------------| |----5----(2)-4/55555----| |-0-----4--0-----------4-| |-0--3--0--0--2/33333--0-| |-0--0--0--0--0-00000--0-| Emadd9 (etc�) Ooh, turn your head away From the screen, oh people It will tell you nothing more Don�t suck the milk of flaccid Bill K. Public�s empty promise To the people that the public can ignore This way of life is so devised To snuff out the mind that moves Moving with grace the men despise And women have learned to lose Throw off your shame or be a slave to the system I see you take another drag One more lost soul to raise your flag The sky is a landfill I see you take another drag Let�s see you take another drag G(II) You like to dance to the rolling F# Head of the adulteress A5 E5 D5 You sing in praise of suicide G(II) We know you�re useless F# A5 E5 D5 Like cops at the scene of the crime G(II) With your steroids and your feedbag Bb5 And your stable and your trainer B(b9) G#5 G(II) I got a mail bomb for you Mister Strong Arm. D7 Throw out the stones from all the cemetery homes Bmadd13- G/B etc. For the violence of a nation gone by Or the politics of weakness And the garbage dump of souls That will now black the sky Their yellow haze and crowds of eyes Will plug up the mind that moves Moving with grace the men despise And women have learned to lose We�ll share our bodies In disdain for the system Oh, I see you take another drag One nation bends to kiss the hag The sky is a landfill I see you take another drag I see you take another drag I have no fear of this machine!
