Tom: A5

Intro: A5 C5 G5 
(Along with Bass solo, twice)


A5
You in your fancy
              C5
Material world

Don't see the links of chain
           G5
Binding blood


A5  
Our own ancestors
                  C5
Are hungry ghosts

Closets so full of bones
                G5
They won't close

*
*B5
Call it upward mobility
            E5                       A5
But you've been sold down the river

Just another form of slavery
         C5
And the whole man-made white world

Is your master


A5
You in your fancy
              C5
Material world

Create in your own image
            G5
A supreme god


A5
Your virgin mary
                C5
Your holy ghosts

Claimed to be pure of heart
                                   G5
Have hands that are stained with blood
*

*B5
Call it upward mobility
            E5                        A5
But you've been sold down the river

Just another form of slavery
         C5
And the whole man-made white world

Is your master


A5
You in your fancy
              C5
Material world

Don't see the links of chain
   G5
Binding


A5  
Our own ancestors
                  C5
Are hungry ghosts

Closets so full of bones
                G5
They won't close

*B5
Call it upward mobility
            E5                       A5

Just another form of slavery
         C5
And the whole man-made white world

Is your master


A5
You in your fancy
              C5
Material world

Don't see the links of chain
   G5
Binding
