Intro: verse chords
He left his [D MajorD]drea[G+G]ms in the [Asus2Asus2]alley
[G+G]Betrayed by [G/DG/D]false [D MajorD]beliefs
[G+G]Checks the [G/DG/D]time on his [G6G6]watch again
This world is [D MajorD]spinning into over[Asus2Asus2]drive
[D MajorD]History is [G+G]happening [Asus2Asus2]now
[G+G]Lessons of [G/DG/D]abject [D MajorD]failure
Do the [G+G]leaders [G/DG/D]sleep while [G6G6]thousands die
To [D MajorD]protect from weapons of [Asus2Asus2]imagination
[A6/7sus] These Joe Citizen [A6/7*] blues
[A6/7sus] Joe Citizen [A6/7*] blues
[A6/7sus] Joe Citizen [A6/7*] blues
And the [D MajorD]world [Asus2Asus2]spins around with [G+G]head bowed down
At one[D MajorD]thousand [Asus2Asus2] seventy [G+G]miles an hour
And the [D MajorD]world [Asus2Asus2]spins around with [G+G]head bowed down
At one[D MajorD]thousand [Asus2Asus2] seventy [G+G]miles an hour
When [D MajorD]opportunity means [G+G]firing a [Asus2Asus2]gun
[G+G]Looks a lot [G/DG/D]like past em[D MajorD]pires
The [G+G]ruling [G/DG/D]class doesn’t [G6G6]fight the wars
With stock [D MajorD]options and fortunes [Asus2Asus2]to be made
More [D MajorD]reason for [G+G]hope in the [Asus2Asus2]future
When this [G+G]present is [G/DG/D]almost [D MajorD]past
[G+G]Sweet black [G/DG/D]crude and [G6G6]Red White and Blue
May the [D MajorD]innocent find the [Asus2Asus2]answer
[A6/7sus] To these Joe Citizen [A6/7*] blues
[A6/7sus] Joe Citizen [A6/7*] blues
[A6/7sus] Joe Citizen [A6/7*] blues
And the [D MajorD]world [Asus2Asus2]spins around with [G+G]head bowed down
At one[D MajorD]thousand [Asus2Asus2] seventy [G+G]miles an hour
And the [D MajorD]world [Asus2Asus2]spins around with [G+G]head bowed down
At one[D MajorD]thousand [Asus2Asus2] seventy [G+G]miles an hour
[A6/7sus] To these Joe Citizen [A6/7*] blues
[A6/7sus] Joe Citizen [A6/7*] blues
[A6/7sus] Joe Citizen [A6/7*] blues
And the [D MajorD]world [Asus2Asus2]spins around with [G+G]head bowed down
At one[D MajorD]thousand [Asus2Asus2] seventy [G+G]miles an hour
And the [D MajorD]world [Asus2Asus2]spins around with [G+G]head bowed down
At one[D MajorD]thousand [Asus2Asus2] seventy [G+G]miles an hour
[A6/7sus] [A6/7*] repeated, end on D MajorD
