~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Standard tuning (EADGBE) Capo on 5th Fret
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chords used: C, Am, Em, F, G6, Dm

I posted this tab well before the studio version was released so it really is for 
the acoustic guitar. But I can't see why it wouldn't sound great on the electric 
too. But if you are using an acoustic guitar, try experimenting with some hammer-on's below.

Use your middle finger to hammer on the C chord.
Use your middle and ring fingers to hammer on the Am chord.
Use your ring finger to hammer on the Em chord (If you use middle & ring)
Use your middle finger to hammer on the F chord.
Use your index finger to hammer on the Dm chord.

C                Am
They poison our sweet mother earth

Destroy our sacred bodies, to fill our minds of junk and...

They call this knowledge but knowing nothing means knowing far, far too much
C                      Am
They let our children starve in the name of peace
      Em                  F
They march to the beat of a killing machine

C              Am                   Em               F
Life is not a dream when you can't wake up from the dream you wanted
C              Em                   F                G6

C                   Am
Scars and bars and fifty-one stars
    Em                F
In faith and milk and I'm drinking filth and disease
C                 Em
Oh pretty please, I'm begging freedom
         F                    G6 
There's lives to be blinded, servants un-kinded
C                   Am
Before we pay, and then we'll pay some more
Em                          F
Do you know the score? Cos I'm so fucking bored!
 
C              Am                   Em               F
Life is not a dream when you can't wake up from the dream you wanted
C              Em                   F                G6

They'll sell your wounds as evidence of your holes
