[Intro]
Em
[Verse]
Em D C B Em D C B
Well it's high noon at the U.K. corral
Em D C B Em
And it's high time I got myself back on the rails
A D F E
I'm the lonesome cowboy, ridin across the range
A D F E
With just a hand held radio--to keep me sane
A D F E
Ridin through the f.m. stations, the tumbleweed
And the petrol stations
A D
Will all on board this Yankee station
F E
Prepare themselves for battle stations--
[Chorus]
G C F C
Jesus Wept. Jesus Christ
G C F C
I can't see for the tear gas, and the dollar signs in my eyes
G C
Well, what's a man got left to fight for
F C
When he's bought his freedom
G C
By the look of this human jungle
F C
It ain't just the poor who'll be bleeding!
[Instrumental]
Em
[Verse]
Em D C B
Most everyone round here thinks they're something special
Em D C B
That destiny will be kind--
Em D C B
While they're digging for gold, diving for pearls
Em D C B
And aiming for heaven from this man made world
A D F E
Come on down--the devil's in town
A D
He's brought you sticks and stones
F E
To bust your neighbors bones
A D
He's stuck his missiles in your gardens
F E
And his theories down your throat--
A D
And God knows what your gonna do with him
F E
Cos I certainly don't
[Chorus]
G C F C
Jesus Wept. Jesus Christ
G C F C
I can't see for the tear gas, and the dollar signs in my eyes
G C
Well, what's a man got left to fight for
F C
When he's bought his freedom
G C
By the look of this human jungle
F C
It ain't just the poor who'll be bleeding!

F#m D
Down by the river, I've been washing out my mouth
F#m
Cos deep in the heart of me

There's a frightened man breaking out
F#m
Oh I was just looking for paradise
D
Anywhere in this world
F#m
While they're gunning for heaven--
D
From this man made hell!!!
