Intro:
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G A7A7 x2
Verse 1:
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
Another beautiful morning under stars and bars
A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7
And FF series pickups and rusted out cars
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
And they're eatin' breakfast at the strip bar
A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7
Just to have a peek?
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
And the beer soaked angels spread their wings
A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7
And dream of twenties and diamonds and things
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
And somehow that might ease the sting
A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7
Of the company they keep. Yeah?
Interlude:
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G A7A7
Verse 2:
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
And the vets still talk about the Tet offensive
A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7
And the freshmen boys all look so pensive
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
Because living large is so expensive
A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7
Hope daddy fueled the jet?
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
And we'll fly off to the Hard Rock casino
A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7
And we'll put on our neatly pressed and fine chinos
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
And we'll laugh at the guy in the El Camino
A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7
Is that the only car he could get?

Verse 3:
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
The record smoothies say "What a sound"
A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7
You're the greatest thing we've found
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
But you're gonna have to lose a couple a pounds
A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7
We're gonna put you on TV
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
And don't you think our place is so swank
A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7
Don't worry about that guy, he's high on crank
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
That's exactly why his last record tanked
A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7
And let that be a lesson to me

Bridge:
Bb majorBb (no5) D MajorD
And all our churches glow
C majorC D MajorD
Communion wafers trash TV shows
Bb majorBb (no5) D MajorD
Say "Hey, at least you don't have this strife"
E minor 7Em7
'Cause you'll be warm and safe

Verse 4:
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
And it's hard to tell what's true compassion
A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7
When it's dressed up in hair and nails and fashion
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
And the tabloids all rush to cash in
A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7
on what we should believe
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
And I hope I never see the day
A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7
When there's nothing left on the planet left to save
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
And oxygen is the designer crusade
A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7
As we all fight to breathe?
