Intro: C, Gadd11, C, F, Am, Gadd11, C majorC (x2)

-----

First Verse:

    C majorC     Gadd11
We were raised by wolves
  C majorC        FF
And we are still wild

          A minorAm       Gadd11
And we howl when the troubled wind blows

      C majorC     Gadd11
And in the TV's blue light
   C majorC        FF
Oh, assassins will lie

      A minorAm   Gadd11
If we just go down slow

Chorus:
  FF        A minorAm
So don't tread on me

  Gadd11   C majorC
For I am your brother
   FF      A minorAm    Gadd11
I was born with an American heart

  FF         A minorAm
And don't tread on her

  Gadd1    C majorC
For she is your sister
    FF      A minorAm    Gadd11
She was born with an American heart

Second Verse:

All the people you meet
Down in the streets
May be good but they don't wanna know
So they cover their eyes, for
Who wants to be sad'
Life is sweet at the bottom of the sea

(Repeat Chorus)

Third Verse:

All the mothers will cry,
Fathers stay up all night
With a chill that goes to the bones
And if your God makes war
Then he's no God I know
'Cause Christ would not send boys to die

(Repeat Chorus)

Fourth Verse:

Don't you get low as hell
When the peace dove is felled
By men with the blackest of minds
And above the din
Let the sighin' begin
As we're bound for the longest of days

(Chorus and End on C majorC)
