• Song:

    Us Government Acoustic

  • Artist:

    Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

This is an acoustic version I downloaded from the BRMC forum pages somewhere
and search around.  Love these guys, their hard stuff and acoustic stuff.

Because this is the acoustic version, it does not fit with the album version, but I love 
version anyway.

(Save the world)

CHORUS:

She's alright I'll be fine

We are the ones that burn your pride

And you're burning bright

INTRO:

BRIDGE:

I've been waiting for the sun to come

Lead me through the gates of Rome
You're gonna know they were never

Never yours to kill

I've been waiting for the sun to come

Surely I must be undone
You're gonna know they were never

Never yours to kill

OUTRO:
Am (mix in some hammers to Asus4)
