        D5 - E5 - D5 - C5 - D5 - A5 - A5


Verse 1:

E5                  B5
All is quiet on the Western front
        C5             A5
There appears to be a lull
   E5                             D5
Oh John and Jane Doe are sleeping well tonight
     C5
With little thoughts inside their skulls
E5             B5
Salome she's undressed to the nines
    C5                     A5
And although a few pounds fatter
        E5                    D5
She got Pavlov's bells on her ankles and wrists
    C5
She coming at you with her platter



Chorus 1:

        D5              E5
They're building a new gallows
         C5              G5  G/f#  G5
When you show up on the streets
           D5             E5
Oh they're polishing the electric chair
      C5                    D5
Gonna give you a front row seat
        D5                 E5
Heard a sneer outside the garden
    C5         A5
Salutation so well
 E5              D5                  C5
"Welcome all you suckers to Struggleville"



Repeat Intro:  D5 - E5 - D5 - C5 - D5 - A5 - D5 - C5
               D5 - E5 - D5 - C5 - D5 - A5 - A5



Verse 2:

E5                  B5
I stole down to the waterfront
   C5                 A5
To escape the desert heat
   E5                      D5
Oh what on earth you gotta do around here
C5
 To try and get yourself a drink
      E5               B5
Heard John the Baptist preaching
        C5                 A5
He said "Make way for the King
           E5              D5
But if you wanna recognize him
          C5
You gotta tell me all your sins"



Chorus 2:

        D5              E5
They're building a new gallows
         C5              G5   G/f#  G5
When you show up on the streets
           D5             E5
Oh they're polishing the electric chair
      C5                    D5
Gonna give you a front row seat
        D5                 E5
Heard a sneer outside the garden
    C5         A5
Salutation so well
 E5              D5                  C5
"Welcome all you suckers to Struggleville"
 E5              D5                  C5
"Welcome all you suckers to Struggleville"

Verse 3:

E5                    B5
I've been trying to negotiate peace
C5               A5
With my own existence
        E5                 D5
She got stockpiles full of weaponry
             C5
She breakin' every cease-fire agreement
       E5             B5
Oh the whole thing is full of decay
   C5                    A5
As sure as I'm made of dust
       E5            D5                 C5
Oh but in the rust I hear the beast is calling



Chorus 3:

        D5              E5
They're building a new gallows
         C5              G5   G/f#  G5
When you show up on the streets
           D5             E5
Oh they're polishing the electric chair
      C5                    D5
Gonna give you a front row seat
        D5                 E5
Heard a sneer outside the garden
    C5         A5
Salutation so well
 E5             D5             C5
"Final Stop! No points beyond Struggleville
E5              D5                  C5
Welcome all you suckers to Struggleville"



Outro:  D5 - E5 - D5 - C5 - D5 - A5 - D5 - C5 (x4)
