Chords

Tabbed by Ann Hogan. Hey, guys. I noticed a few errors in the previous submission of chords for this song (under the name The Jakes), so I corrected it. Some of the chords are the same, just with different fingerings, so I marked anything like that with an asterisk (*) or plus sign (+). Chords A: x-x-7-6-5-x A*: x-0-2-2-2-0 A+: 5-4-2-2-3-x A6: x-x-7-6-7-x D: x-x-12-11-10-x D6: x-x-12-11-11-x E6: x-x-14-13-14-12 E: 0-2-2-1-0-0 D*: x-x-0-2-3-2

Intro: A6 A A6 A D6 D E6 x2
A
I'm waiting for the sun to rise

                      D6      E6
So I can find my way back to Texas

    A
But oh it's still dark outside

                      D6        E6
'Cuz I can taste the fire on my lips

         A                         D6      E6
And so I say to lord, I'm so tired of this mess

          A
But this nation still burns at night

              D6       E6
Our ribs the coal of progress

    E        D*                   
So hey, get away from here, old ghost

          E                  D*
We don't like your kind, soldier

                      E
Defend this land and fight
A+ riff x2
A
The fields of corn they turn to dust

                     D6       E6
Said the cross-eyed boy from Pawnee

     A
The old machines are laid to rest

              D6            E6
New England stars, they're lovely

                A
And so I say to him, boy,

              D6     E6
Have you seen men in these parts

A
Hey hey yeah yeah

                  D6  E6
Black gold swims under the dirt

    E        D*                   
So hey, get away from here, old ghost

          E                  D*
We don't like your kind, soldier

                      E
Defend this land and fight   

A   D*
Oh, la la

A*
Hey, hey, yeah, yeah!

A*      
Hey, hey, yeah, yeah!

Hey, oh...
