Joe Jackson – Evil Empire (Guitar)

A           E             B      F#
  There's a country where no one knows

A              E         F#m         C#
  What's going on in the rest of the world

A            E             B         F#
   There's a country where minds are closed

A              E          F#sus4    F#
   With just a few asking questions

Ab      Eb            Fm      C
   Like what do their leaders say

Ab    Eb         Bb          F
   In sessions behind closed doors

Ab        Eb          Fm      C
   And if this is the perfect way

C/E           F          D/F#    G
    Why do we need these goddamn lies?

A       E          B        F#
   This doesn't go down too well

A                E             F#m          C#
   "We give you everything and you throw it back

A                E            B     F#
   Don't like it here you can go to hell

A                E       F#sus4         F#
   You're either with or against us..."

A            E              B         F#
   There's a country that's great and wide

A               E          F#m  C#
   It's got the biggest of everything

A         E             B         F#
   Try to attack it and you can't hide

A                 E           F#sus4      F#
   Don't say that you haven't been warned

Ab           Eb        Fm       C
   You can't hide in a gunman's mask

Ab         Eb       Bb        F
   Or kill innocent folks and run

Ab               Eb         Fm         C
   But if you're good at it they might ask—

C/E        F           D/F#  G
   Come on over to the other side

A            E              B        F#
   There's a country that's tired of war

A            E              F#m      C#
   There's a country that's scared inside

A                  E        B       F#
   But the bank is open and you can draw

A                 E             F#sus4   F#
   For guns that fight in their backyard

A             E                 B
   I could go on but what's the use

                F#
You can't fight them with songs

A               E
   But think of this as just

 B           F#               A      E
Another tiny blow against the Empire

 B             F#             A      E Fm C#
Another blow against the Evil Empire

A E    B            F#             A      E
     Another blow against the Evil Empire

A E        B             F#             A      E
     Just another blow against the Evil Empire

A E        B             F#             A      E
     Just another blow against the Evil Empire

F#m C#
