  			      Am     /     G    /                    Am   /   /   / 
     {a d  a e  d  a c  b  c b g}  x6       {                 }  x4 
 
   Am                 Em                  f#  g 
     Emerald haunt in overdrive 
     Nightmare descent into Jericho City 
     Camel dust heralds our arrival 
     New Christ beneath the drum kit moon 
 
    F                  G 
     Oh lord we are threatened again 
     In the slipstream pull of the federal men 
     Plummet in some seamless night 
     Down here to earth it's hopeless then 
 
   Am                      Em       f#  g 
     Apache gunmen in the boiling crowd 
     Who never got to meet you last time 
     We're interrupted by the telephone 
     You didn't think they were invented then 
 
    F                 G 
     Oh lord we need miracles 
     We need more wine and gold 
     We need slaves and roads and personal favours 
     We need microphones and manifolds 
 
     F#m                  E       F#m                    E 
     How can you be so invisible, give me the nerves to see 
 
    A               D      F#m                E 
     Privilege on privilege,  an unwanted discovery 
 
      Am                 Em           f#  g 
     {                                      }  x4 
 
      F                  G 
     {                                      }  x4 
 
                    Am                 Em        f#  g 
     So now we're cruising down this shuddering highway 
     With a dead sun shining on my back 
     And we talk about the way people treat us back there 
     The hollow laughter the pain in their eyes 
 
    F               G 
     Oh my lord I trust your intentions 
     But money strangles our love 
     Struggling like a fool with my junk and my jewels 
     You would have thought I'd had enough 
 
     F#m                  E       F#m                    E 
     How can you be so invisible, give me the nerves to see 
 
    A               D      F#m                E 
     Privilege on privilege,  an unwanted discovery 
 
      Am                 Em           f#  g 
     {                                      }  x4 
 
      F                  G 
     {                                      }  x4 
 
     F#m                  E       F#m                    E 
     How can you be so invisible, give me the nerves to see 
 
    A               D      F#m                E 
     Privilege on privilege,  an unwanted discovery 
 
      Am                 Em           f#  g 
     {                                      }  x4 
 
      F                  G
