Verse:

B                          C#
Driving through the south, no need to stop for gas

B                           C#
Thats all taken care of, by the gas man

B                             C#
Some of it is very beautiful, some of it has scars

B                       Asus2
and some of it is ugly, as a bigot in a bar

B                                   C#
Travelling through the south by car, me and Bonn and Charlie B
       
B                               C#
The night makes us stop, by the side of the road for tea

B                                              C#
I look up in the distance, a branding iron is stuck up in the night sky

B
It's in the shape of American, and it's in flames

Asus2
but I'm not sure why


Chorus:

         E-B-C#-G#m-A
Into the cornfields

         E-B-C#-G#m-A
Into the cordnfields

         E-B-C#-G#m-A
We don't want to go


The chorus is played the same as the intro, he drags out the word "cornfields" but its
easy to get the hang of if you listen to it, you can alternate with the A and the Asus2
in places, just see which sounds best to you. Thats the whole song, enjoy. Any comments
are welcome.
