Capo 4th fret

 
Intro: G  D/F#  C  G  D/F#  C  G

    G                 D/F#            C              G
The stainless steel of mass appeal was rusting in the rain
G                             D/F#                   C       G
As the spit shine apprentice, polishing princes were going insane
         Am7                                         C
From the makers that brought you Permawar, there's a brand new war within
              G                       D/F#        C               G
They're gonna catch ya later with the alligators, good night, citizen


Talk is cheap upon the heap of power seeking rats
And the candy tin where nicotine Zyn and promises are stacked
Don't taste so sweet as the summer heat melts the glob apart
I can see the cracks form in the pack as fair weather friends depart


Chorus:
G
Who do you love now
           D/F#
Who do you love now
                Am7
Now that you've seen the sun
         C               G
Is there any one left to love now

Harmonica Solo

They'll pave the trails with the bones of the failed, in borrowed boots they'll stomp
As they strain to drain that pond of pain into some different swamp
As the wizard of Vermont shakes his ancient head
And the sun, it sets on our regrets as he makes his way to bed

Chorus

Harmonica Solo

The devil said, you've made your bed and there's places I must go
And that wasn't me in Pennsylvania, musta been one of your own
And the angel of the Lord said, "How dare you call this God's"
Hitch your wagon to somethin' else, You low down dirty dog

 
Chorus 

Harmonica Solo outro
