Intro: E   F#m C#m (2x) 

Verse 1 

           E                F#m             C#m 
Well they tied that yellow ribbon round the oak tree. 
         E                 F#m                C#m                        
They've worn out all the prayer in their hearts. 
     A                       E               B                 
All along thought they were routing for the home team, 
            A                           B     C5            
As they're sent to the game and torn apart. 


    E               F#m            C#m                         
We twist this tourniquet upon the pipeline, 
         E               F#m               C#m              
That he carries all the pain in the world. 
        A                E              B                      
As we blindly clap and cheer from the sidelines 
                  A                           B              
It's clear, on a losing streak from the very start. 


     C5                    C#m A   E                                
And that's where they found me, 
    B        C#m A   E   B                                           
In the cemetery. 
          C#m        A                                          
A smoking gun in my hand, 
              E           B             A                      
Now I'm damned for the land of the free. 
          B                                                  
Sing with me,                                                            
                E                                             
The american scream.

They took that faded ribbon off the oak tree. 
         E                F#m           C#m                    
They've worn out all the hope in their hearts. 
     A               E              B                          
All along thought I was doing the right thing, 
          A                    B                              
Now I'm lying in a pool of my blood.

Sing with me, 
                                                            
                          C#m A   E
