Guitar chords with lyrics

Key: Am

This includes the signature interlude, solo measures, and outro, to give the some some completion.

🤘 Interlude:
Am C D C D (bend last D slightly for effect)
Am C D C Am
Am C D C D (bend last D slightly for effect)
Am C D C Am




🤘 Verse 1:
Am C G D
Am C G D
Am                C
Kill for gain, or shoot to maim
    G               D
But we don't need a reason
    Am              C
The golden goose is on the loose
    G            D
And never out of season
Am                    C
Blackened pride still burns inside
     G               D
This shell of bloody treason
Am                  C
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
        G              D
For the love of living death

🤘 Pre-Chorus:
    Am       Fmaj7        A7sus4  C
The killer's breed or the Demon's seed
    F            Bb           C   G
The glamour, the fortune, the pain
      Am     Fmaj7        A7sus4    C
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
          F           Bb       E
Don't you pray for my soul anymore?


🤘 Chorus:
Am G Am      C   G
2 minutes to midnight
    D          Dsus4 D  F  G
The hands that threaten doom
Am G Am      C   G
2 minutes to midnight
   D       Dsus4 D        F  G
To kill the unborn in the womb


🤘 Verse 2:
Am C G D
Am C G D
    Am                       C
The blind men shout "Let the creatures out
      G             D
We'll show the unbelievers"
    Am                C
The napalm screams of human flames
     G                 D
Of a prime time Belsen feast    yeah!
       Am              C
As the reasons for the carnage
          G                 D
Cut their meat and lick the gravy
   Am                  C
We oil the jaws of the war machine
    G                D
And feed it with our babies


🤘 Pre-Chorus:
    Am       Fmaj7        A7sus4  C
The killer's breed or the Demon's seed
    F            Bb           C   G
The glamour, the fortune, the pain
      Am     Fmaj7        A7sus4    C
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
          F           Bb       E
Don't you pray for my soul anymore?

The hands that threaten doom

🤘 Verse 3:
    Am            C
The body bags and little rags
   G                D
Of children torn in two
        Am                      C
And the jellied brains of those who remain
           G               D
To put the finger right on you
       Am             C
As the madmen play on words and make us
G                  D
All dance to their song
       Am               C
To the tune of starving millions
          G              D
to make a better kind of gun


🤘 Pre-Chorus:
    Am       Fmaj7        A7sus4  C
The killer's breed or the Demon's seed
    F            Bb           C   G
The glamour, the fortune, the pain
      Am     Fmaj7        A7sus4    C
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
          F           Bb       E
Don't you pray for my soul anymore?


🤘 Chorus:
Am G Am      C   G
2 minutes to midnight
    D          Dsus4 D  F  G
The hands that threaten doom
Am G Am      C   G
2 minutes to midnight
   D       Dsus4 D        F  G
To kill the unborn in the womb
