Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:

A minorAm          DmDm
In my dreams I see a fat man
    E MajorE     A minorAm
On his face is a frown
     A minorAm        DmDm
Hes got money in his left hand
    E MajorE               A minorAm C/BC/B  C majorC
In his right hes got strings that run all over town
    DmDm       A minorAm         DmDm     E MajorE
As he pulls on them tightly he chokes all, all that grows
     A minorAm       DmDm
He keeps watch day and nightly
    E MajorE         A minorAm
and plucks life, Like a rose

Verse 2:

 A minorAm           DmDm
In my dreams I see the young men
      E MajorE    A minorAm
That will change history
     A minorAm       DmDm
They will die for the fat man
    E MajorE    A minorAm C/BC/B C majorC
As he laughs so care-less-ly
    DmDm         A minorAm         DmDm     E MajorE
In his laughter I hear the sorrow from the pain that it brings
    A minorAm       DmDm
I hear mothers weeping softly
      E MajorE         A minorAm
Wrapped up tightly, in his strings


Verse 3:

 A minorAm           DmDm
Cut the strings from his fingers
      E MajorE        A minorAm
Wrap them twice around his throat
    A minorAm        DmDm
Show him not your kind mercy
     E MajorE       A minorAm C/BC/B C majorC
From the laws that he forgot he wrote
    DmDm         A minorAm
Let us know of that which binds us,
       DmDm       E MajorE
that which steals all that grows
      A minorAm        A minorAm
That which kills what defines us
    E MajorE       A minorAm
To be plucked, like a rose
