Half-step down tuning [Intro] Dsus2 Em (x4) Dsus2 [Verse]
Em                              Dsus2
All hail, the jester has landed

Em                               C
Defile the country he sings

Asus2                           Dsus2
Charmed like a snake in a basket

Em                                   Dsus2
Should be curled up and ready to spring

Em                                 Dsus2
We're raising our cross just to burn it

Em                                   C
The clergy are selling their souls

Asus2                                Dsus2
Clearing a path, ignoring the facts

Em                         Dsus2 Asus2 (one strum)
Intoxicated by the throne
[Pre-Chorus]
          C            G          Dsus2                Asus2
We'll be standing here holding our ground, come what may

          C            G            Dsus2
Like a ghost haunts from beyond the grave
[Chorus]
               Em       G Dsus2 Asus2

Asus2       C              Dsus2
We've got nowhere else to go
[Verse]
Em                                     Dsus2
When we all go deaf in the chamber of echoes

Em                                     C
Cheering the missile parade

Asus2                                  Dsus2
Agreeing to let all the banks rob the people

Em                              Dsus2 Asus2 (one strum)
Together we circle the drain
[Pre-Chorus]
          C            G          Dsus2                Asus2
We'll be standing here holding our ground, come what may

          C            G           Dsus2
Like a ghost haunts from beyond the grave
[Chorus]

[Bridge] Em
Em
It’s a game, you’ve been played

       G
It’s a flock, you’re the sheep

       Asus2                     C
It’s a pied-piper song that has lulled you to sleep

       Em                        G
It’s a lie and you fell for it - hook, line, and sinker

  Asus2                         C            C
A hand that you shook that then gave you the finger

  Em                    G
A fraud and a fake, a cowardly king

  Asus2                     C
A lie to your face, but you still kiss the ring

Em                      G
This is the breakdown, this is the breakdown

Asus2           C     Dsus2
This is the breakdown!
[Pre-Chorus]
  C            G          Dsus2                Asus2
 Standing here holding our ground, come what may

          C            G           Dsus2
Like a ghost haunts from beyond the grave
[Chorus/Outro]

It's not much, but this is home

          C          Dsus2    Em
And there's nowhere else to go
Dsus2 Em
