Chords

As recorded by Jesse Welles (2025 release) [Verse 1]
     C
Come gather round friends and I'll tell you a tale

          Am
Where the wildfires glow and the government fails

F                                    G
40,000 acres burnt and it's growing 25 folks dead more that we ain't knowin'

           F
And in the question it raises on everyone's minds

   G              C
Is how and why oh why
[Verse 2]
              C
Fox says it's lesbians

C
Well that clears it up

G
I thought it's climate change

    G7
But fair enough good God

                     C                                   Am
California's got the drought and bad government planning

                               F
The winds of Santa Ana all the taxes are high

                                    G                     G
In the pastures of plenty where the fires are hot and the hydrants are empty

  F
Incompetence and greed and budget cuts

        G                         C
Sure to stir you up some real bad luck
[Verse 3]
      F                            C
State Farm looked into its crystal ball and said

 Dm
No oh honey and they plum with drawn

     F
Some fires on purpose, some on accident

       G               G
We can crawl down that rabbit hole in a bit

    C
But prayers to the people that lost their homes

     Am
Or a portion of their portfolio

        F
Is it a globalist plot for economic collapse

      G                    G
Or is Black Rock clear and off the spot on the map
[Outro]
               C
Our brains are small

                     Am
And our problems are large

             F
I think it's safer to say

G           C     F C G C
Nobody's in charge
