Am (x02210@1)                                        F (133211@1)Your class, your caste, your country, sect, your name or your tribe
         C (x32010@1)                           DmThere's (xx0231@1)people always dying trying to keep them alive
     C (x32010@1)                    DmHis (xx0231@1)body's decomposing in containers tonight
         FIn (133211@1)an abandoned building where

Am (x02210@1)                        FA (133211@1)squatter's made a mural of a Mexican girl
      C (x32010@1)                              DmWith (xx0231@1)fifteen cans of spray paint in a chemical swirl
       C (x32010@1)                          DmShe's (xx0231@1)standing in the ashes at the end of the world
             FFour (133211@1)winds blowing through her hair

Dm (xx0231@1)    G (320003@1)               Dm (xx0231@1)  GBut (320003@1)when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon
          F (133211@1)     C (x32010@1)                F (133211@1)         CShe (x32010@1)just can't sustain the pressure where it's placed
     DmShe (xx0231@1)caves

Interlude: Am, F, C, Dm, C, Dm, F

Am (x02210@1)                                  FThe (133211@1)Bible's blind, the Torah's deaf, the Qu'ran is mute
          C (x32010@1)                              DmIf (xx0231@1)you'd burn them all together you'd get close to the truth still
          F (133211@1)                         DmThey're (xx0231@1)pouring over sanskrit on the ivy league moons
                FWhile (133211@1)shadows lengthen in the sun

Am (x02210@1)                          FCast (133211@1)on a school of meditation built to soften the times
     C (x32010@1)                             DmAnd (xx0231@1)hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds
       F (133211@1)                           DmIt's (xx0231@1)knocking over fences, crossing property lines
             FFour (133211@1)winds, cry until it comes

Dm (xx0231@1)    GAnd (320003@1)it's the song of man
                  Dm (xx0231@1)   GSlouching (320003@1)towards Bethlehem
              G (320003@1)     C (x32010@1)               G (320003@1)    CA (x32010@1)heart just can't contain all of that empty space
    Dm (xx0231@1)       GIt (320003@1)breaks, it breaks, (it breaks)

Interlude: Am, F, Am, F, Am, F, G

Em (022000@1)                       CWell, (x32010@1)I went back, I rent a Cadillac, a company jet
        C (x32010@1)                      DmLike (xx0231@1)a newly orphaned refugee, retracing my steps
        C (x32010@1)                   DmAll (xx0231@1)the way to Cassadega to commune with the dead
                   FThey (133211@1)said, "You'd better look alive"

Am (x02210@1)                       FAnd (133211@1)I was off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps
         C (x32010@1)                             DmIn (xx0231@1)the black hills, the bad lands, the calloused east
    C (x32010@1)                 DmI (xx0231@1)buried my ballast, I made my peace
                   FWith (133211@1)four winds, levelling the pines

Dm (xx0231@1)    G (320003@1)               Dm (xx0231@1) GBut (320003@1)when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon
          F (133211@1)    C (x32010@1)                 F (133211@1)   CShe (x32010@1)just can't remain with all that outer space
     Dm (xx0231@1)         G (320003@1)         Dm (xx0231@1)      GShe (320003@1)breaks, she breaks, she caves, she caves.

End on: Am
