[Solo 2] E E G G G G E E [Verse 3]
E              G
First off Gary was on trial and

E
drunk before we left bed

E
As things got bad, it wasn't

G                           G/E
hard to say that he had no idea

E
Well, I hadn't noticed

E
but the people really noticed

E         G                     E
That they really didn't want us around
[Verse 4]
E
So we all just opened up our

E                          G
mouths and wallets to this town

E
Well, I was walking just a little bit sideways

D                             G
And you were walking sideways too

E
Well, I hadn't learned when a

E                 G
front door can be used,
N.C. here we go sir [Solo 3] E E D G G F C D [Verse 5]
E
We had docked in dark so we

E
didn't read what the sign read

E      G                     F          C
Though simple enough, it was demure and tough:

C                       G
"The ground needs to be fed"

E
Well, I hadn't noticed

E
but the people really noticed

E                               G
That they really didn't want us around

G        F
So not a single one of us will

F          C
ever leave town,
N.C. here we go sir [Solo 4] E E E E G C F F E E E E [Verse 6]
E
Our bodies were laid out

E          G       C
evenly for fifteen yards

C     E
Well, two feet above each of our

F                            G
heads was a fly trapped in a jar

E
Well, I hadn't noticed

E
but the people really noticed

E         G
That they really didn't want us around

G               E         G       E
So every single one of us fed the ground,
N.C. here we go now [Solo 5] A A G F C F Am G [Bridge]
E               F    G
One wing wasn't even enough

E               F    G
One wing wasn't even enough

All part and parcel

D         C             G
Well it's probably been said

G         C           G
That it's always been said

G       C       G
We were already dead
