Intro:
Am   C   Dm   G


Verse 1:
     F             C
The mother of the outlaw
Dm                                   Am
   Thinks about the time he had the mumps
           F           C
And she's really very sorry
Dm
   And she hopes this has nothing to do
          Am
With the way she brought him up
         F               C
And the outlaw he lies wounded
Dm                               Am
   As the doctor gives the police sergeant a nod
         F                 C
And the last words he was saying
Dm                         G
   Something about I do believe in God

Chorus 1:
    Am              Dm
And who divides the oceans
G                                C
   When a generation's lost its place
    Am            Dm
And who sets the motion
G          Gsus4 G
   Of the human race


Verse 2:
         F              C
And the sister of the prostitute
Dm                              Am
   She's trying to find the right way to love
       F                           C
Cause when it gets down to make a living
Dm                                    Am
   These days it's pretty hard for a girl to get it up
         F                     C
And the romance on her street corner
Dm                         Am
   He rides around in Eldorado fame
     F                  C
And lately she's been thinking
Dm                                          G
   That what she's been seeing in the movies just ain't the same


Chorus 2:
    Am              Dm
And who divides the oceans
G                                C
   When a generation's lost its place
    Am            Dm
And who sets the motion
G          Gsus4 G
   Of the human race


Interlude:
Am   G   Em   Dm
Am   Dm   G   Gsus4 G   


Verse 3:
         F                  C
And the legless Vietnam survivor
Dm                        Am
  He's trying to find a job or a wife
       F                        C
Cause he can't find peace with honor
Dm                                Am
   As he gets conditioned to his wheelchair life
         F                     C
And the killers still run the country
Dm                                        Am
   And they count their money with their bloodstained hands
     F                 C
And lately I've been thinking
Dm                      G
   Maybe it s time we really took a stand


Chorus 3:
    Am              Dm
And who divides the oceans
G                                C
   When a generation's lost its place
    Am            Dm
And who sets the motion
G          Gsus4 G
   Of the human race


Outro:
Am   Dm   G   Gsus4 G   F
