Chords with lyrics

DmDm - D MajorD          DmDm
1. You see the ghost of the buffalo moving both fierce and slow
   D MajorD
  like glittering prophesies, on the edge of the horizon.
    DmDm
  As you drive glittering highways and beaten-up byways,
   D MajorD
  that straddle and girdle our great and many-faced nation.
   DmDm
  You see the lambs in the ghettos who worship their Gepettos,
                                 D MajorD
   believing in, never seeing, the strings they think bind them.
   DmDm
  So we write to our congressmen with bleeding pens of the sorrow within,
                                       D MajorD
  and in return, they just send tickets to the latest Tom Hanks show.

  FF     G+G    DmDm  - FF     G+G     D MajorD
Welcome to the new Wild West, each man for himself.
  FF   G+G    C majorC    G+G    FF   G+G   DmDm
  Civilized steeples, and lonely people, welcome to the new Wild West.

2. There are so many factions and cue-card reactions,


  it's hard to keep clear the possibilities here,
                   D MajorD
   'cause there's no force to unite them.
   DmDm
  Privilege has ruled for thousands of years,


   wars have been fought with bibles and tears,
                                 D MajorD
  yet liberation can't deny the temptation, soon becomes the oppressor.
    DmDm
  Show me a leader who's fit to lead,


  who don't sow his seed in anything wounded enough to breed,
                                  D MajorD
  because after all, what fun is power, if you can't act like a rock star?


  FF       G+G    DmDm  - FF   G+G      D MajorD
Welcome to the new Wild West,    each man for himself.

3. As for me, I've been petty, oh, and unkind, but I know my own mind,


  and since it seems clear there's no one leading us here,


  the only thing left it appears is
   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - D MajorD
  to task ourselves to be better each time, than those before us.
      DmDm
  We'll be an army of thieves, of self-freed slaves,


  of mild-mannered maids, we'll fight with whispers and blades,
                 D MajorD
  so get ready, a new day is dawning
