Am Am
This one's for the shoeshine boy
And the farmer in debt
Am Am
Each string is barbed wire
Each chord is a threat
G G
This blues guy I met
That never had a hit
Am Am
Said you don't gotta be loud, son
To be heavy as shit
Am Am
Well I'm the triggerman, baby
And tonight I'll prove
Am Am
That this machine here
Well it kills fascists too
G G
And don't be surprised
If the sermon on the mount
Am Am
Next time is delivered
In a little coffee house
Dm Dm
Cause somebody here's
Gotta let them know
Am Am
I doubt it's me
But here I go
Dm Dm
I hit the button
Tape started to roll
Am Am
The song's got fire
G G
But it's got no soul


C C Am Am G G
There's a lonely stretch of blacktop
G G Am Am
Between here and home
C C GAm
Drop down into the valley
GAm
Piano playin' in the living room
F F Am Am
And when you see the white barn
G G Am Am
You'll know the journey's through
C C G G Am Am
My dog's barking in the backseat
G G Am Am
Cause he knows it too

Dm Dm - C C - G G

Am Am
You'll need a fake passport
And fix your disguise
Am Am
And don't fire, sugar
Til you see the whites of their eyes
G G
I turned the other cheek
But now I'm through
Am Am
The skin you're in
Makes choices for you
Dm Dm
I was checking off names
And I came late to dinner
Am Am
Seems the slices of pie
Keep getting thinner and thinner
G G
Brothers and sisters
Rejoice and repent
Am Am
The landlord's dead
You can keep the rent
Dm Dm
You got twelve fine friends
But one of 'em's rotten
Am Am
There's a hole out back
Ain't got no bottom
Dm Dm
Forty days in the wilderness
Forty sleepless nights
Am Am
I'm confused, half blind
G G
And sure I'm right


C C Am Am G G
There's a lonely stretch of blacktop
G G Am Am
Between here and home
C C GAm
Drop down into the valley
GAm
Piano playin' in the living room
F F Am Am
And when you see the white barn
G G Am Am
You'll know the journey's through
C C G G Am Am
My dog's barking in the backseat
G G Am Am
Cause he knows it too

Dm Dm - C C - G G

Dm Dm
Officer please
I won't be long
Am Am
Called the radio station
Requested this song
Dm Dm
I had my doubts
About what I knew
Am Am
So I turned it up
G G
Then it sounded true
Am Am
Kiss the ring
If the Queen will let you
Am Am
But come over the fence
And the dogs will get you
G G
On a rope hung the traitor
On a hook hung the meat
Am Am
You and me are missing persons
C C G G
Til we're counted in the streets
Am Am
So seize the time
And storm the tower
G G
And come correct
Maximum Firepower (continued)

Am Am (??)
With Maximum Firepower
For the sins of the fathers
The son he must pay

Am Am
The Nightwatchman giveth
C C G G
And he taketh away
Dm Dm
Thought hard about this next line
Pretty sure it's true
Am Am
If you take a step towards freedom
It'll take two steps towards you
Dm Dm
So mister I ain't scared
And mister I ain't worried
Am AmG G
Cause on that lonely stretch of blacktop
I sit as judge and jury


C C Am Am G G
There's a lonely stretch of blacktop
G G Am Am
Between here and home
C C GAm
Drop down into the valley
GAm
Piano playin' in the living room
F F Am Am
And when you see the white barn
G G Am Am
You'll know the journey's through
C C G G Am Am
My dog's barking in the backseat
G G Am Am
Cause he knows it too

Dm Dm - C C - G G

Am Am
The clock strikes the hour
Tonight we ride
The clock strikes the hour
Tonight we ride
The clock strikes the hour
Tonight we ride
G G
You've got three more seconds
Am Am
To choose sides
