Chords

So I'm a huge Voltaire fan and one of my favourite songs by him is "Bomb New Jersey" from is 2007 album Ooky Spooky. I couldn't find the chords for this so I played around and discovered this really simple way to play the song. So here it is, I hope this works! :) This is my first ever chords.

C                 G
There's a magical land I know

  C             G
A place where I grew up

    C                        G
And I'd make a deal with the devil himself

   C                    D
To see that place blown up

C                         G
There in that interesting land I know

      C            G
Where no one has a brain

     C                       G
They all wear jeans that are acid-washed

        C              D
And yet they think I'm insane

*pause*

        G                    
I would get down on my knees and service the Japanese

        C
'Till I reek of old sushi but please

         G
Bomb New Jersey

I would happily kowtow to my new leader, Chairman Mao

        C
I would even learn Chinese, just please

         G
Bomb New Jersey

D        G
Bomb New Jersey

D        G
Bomb New Jersey

        G         
I would go tell Jong Ill Kim that they're making fun of him

     C
In a Kimchi-hating town that's known

       G
As New Jersey

Better yet I've got a plan, I will convince Pakistan

     C
That India can be found somewhere

       G
In New Jersey

    C                       G
New Jersey is a place where I grew up

     C                        G
They pelted me with rocks and garbage

             C                          G
I guess it’s tough to be a fruit in the Garden State

           C                                   D
And if you have a sexy girlfriend then they're doubly irate

           G 
Oh I would climb a rocky crag and plant a Russian flag

     C
On a smoldering hole once known

       G
As New Jersey

Oh it would be a tragic loss if both Bon Jovi and the Boss

    C
Are somewhere out of state when the Danes

         G
Nuke New Jersey

       C                   G
It's a place named after a sweatshirt

        C              G
So what more can you expect, sir?

           C                          G
And if you try to express you're individuality

          C 
They will throw you to the ground

            D
And they'll kick you in the teeth

D                D
Like they did to me

    C                G
The bombs go down on Morristown

    C               G
And Trenton's up in flames

C                      G
Newark we drowned then burned it down

    C                          D
But Elizabeth still smells the same

     C                    G
Many butts will breach on Monmouth Beach

      C                 G
We'll erase Orange from site

    C                    G
But before we leave this land I loathe

  C       D          G
I bid New Jersey goodnight
