* strum once and let ring
[Intro]
C*
[Verse 1]
C F Will all promises be kept? G Am Will we all be better off? F C I get the notion we won't know G C Until the ketamine wears off F I looked up and to my left and saw G Am A canopy of greed G F C I do not need to be unburdened G C I just need someone to lead
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C And if it looks a bit familiar G Am Like it did the other time G F C They say that history don't repeat itself G C No, history just rhymes
[Chorus]
F The river's deep C The river's wide G Am And there ain't no way across it 'cept to swim or sink and die F The way is long C The path is mеan G Am I ain't got none of my friends left, thеy all vanished in the stream F C G C I ain't got none of my friends left, they all vanished in the stream
[Verse 2]
C F When the black cat with his chainsaw G C Picked a child from his litter G/B Am F To remind us he's a man G C I'll admit I did feel bitter F And I wondered if the jester knew G C That he's in on the joke G/B Am F Some folks don't ask whats in the wagon G C They just grin and bear the yoke
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C And if it looks a bit familiar G Am Like it did the other time G F C They say that history don't repeat itself G C No, history just rhymes
[Chorus]
F The river's deep C The river's wide G Am And there ain't no way across it 'cept to swim or sink and die F The way is long C The path is mеan G Am I ain't got none of my friends left, thеy all vanished in the stream F C G C I ain't got none of my friends left, they all vanished in the stream

Am F G C
[Verse 3]
C F When they pave over the bodies G Am And democratize the stones F C I will leave a Yelp review G C In the valley of the bones F When the thirsty get their blood G Am And all the people's souls departed F C They can raise the holy swollen G Am Golden temple of the arches G C Onward history marches
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C And if it looks a bit familiar G Am Like it did the other time G F C They say that history don't repeat itself G C No, history just rhymes
[Chorus]
F The river's deep C The river's wide G Am And there ain't no way across it 'cept to swim or sink and die F The way is long C The path is mеan G Am I ain't got none of my friends left, thеy all vanished in the stream F C G C I ain't got none of my friends left, they all vanished in the stream
