Tuned down 1/2 step

DmIt's (xx0231@1)in the grain of the wood
It's in the needle's rust
CIt's (x32010@1)in the eagle's claw
DmIt's (xx0231@1)in the eyes you trust
It's in the jackal's dreams
It's in the sleet and the hail
CIt's (x32010@1)in the unmarked box
DmThat (xx0231@1)came today in the mail
It's in the dead man's pocket
It's in the child's first sin
CIt's (x32010@1)in the Constitution
DmWritten (xx0231@1)in very small print
It's in Colin Powell's lies
It's in the shaman's trance
CIt's (x32010@1)in the cellar waiting
D minor
And it's in the best laid plans
F (133211@1)           CWe (x32010@1)could cut and run
DmAnd (xx0231@1)take half the blame
CDon't (x32010@1)stop now
GThat's (320003@1)why we came

House gone up in flames

DmIt's (xx0231@1)in the National Anthem
It's in the scurrying roach
CIt's (x32010@1)in the closed partition
Dm'Tween (xx0231@1)first class and coach
It's in the relentless fever
It's in the lonely room
CIt's (x32010@1)in the hands of fate
DmAnd (xx0231@1)it's in the pharaoh's tomb
It's in the rich man's dreams
It's in the poor man's hands
CIt's (x32010@1)in the body bags
DmAlong (xx0231@1)the Rio Grande
It's in the evening shade
It's on the zealot's tongue
CIt's (x32010@1)in the widow's tears
D minor
And it's in the miner's lungs
F (133211@1)           CWe (x32010@1)could cut and run
DmAnd (xx0231@1)take half the blame
CDon't (x32010@1)stop now
GThat's (320003@1)why we came

House gone up in flames

DmIt's (xx0231@1)in the moon's dark spin
It's in the cloudless sky
CIt (x32010@1)was in St. Peter's denial
DmThat (xx0231@1)he'd thrice deny
It's in the distant thunder
It's in the whispered prayer
CThat (x32010@1)they won't find us hidden here
DmBeneath (xx0231@1)the stairs
So consider yourself lucky
And watch what you say
CI (x32010@1)got what I wanted
DmYou (xx0231@1)might get the same
It's in the bold print nailed
To the cathedral door
CIt's (x32010@1)in the black cold pressure
DmOn (xx0231@1)the ocean floor
F (133211@1)           CWe (x32010@1)could cut and run
And take half the blame
Don't stop now
That's why we came

House gone up in flames
