verse 1: 
     C 
It's an inorganic rehash 
                   F 
of a process so profound 
       C 
It's a thousand freshly 
sharpened stakes dug 
              F 
deep into the ground 
         F 
It's the heads of all 
                   G 
dissenters and the distant 
          Am  F 
plume of smoke And I 
           G       C    G C 
hope those fuckers choke 


verse 2: 
        C 
Did you hear the dead 
                G 
decaying circus lumbering 
 F            C 
ahead Did you see the 
starving elephants or 
        G            F 
did you turn away instead 
    F 
Man I'm so high and 
                G 
lonesome at the bottom 
       Am  Am 
of the hill  Never thought 
    F 
I'd lose it but it's 
G              C 
looking like I will

So get out get out get out 
                       G

        G                F

Am                  G 
Take me down to the river take

Am        G         F
