[E] They tied that [F#m] yellow ribbon [C#] round the oak tree
[E] They poured out [F#m] all the prayer in [C#] their hearts _
[A] All along thought [B] they were rooting for the home team
[A] As they're sent to the game and [B] torn apart
[C] _
[E] We twist this [F#m] tourniquet upon [C#m] the pipeline
[E] That carries [F#m] all the pain in [C#m] the world
[A] _
As we blindly [E] clap and cheer from [B] the sidelines
It's clear [A] on a losing streak from the [B] very start
[C] And that's where she [C#m] found _ me
[E] _ [B] In the [C#m] cemetery
[A] _ _ [E] _ _ [F#] A [C#] smoking gun in [A] my hand
Now [E] I'm damned for [B] the land of [A] the free
_ Sing [B] with me the American [E] scream
[F#m] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
[E] They tied that [F#m] faded ribbon [C#] round that old tree
[E] They've worn out [F#m] all the hope in [C#] their hearts _
[A] All along thought [F#] I was [B] doing the right thing
[A] Now I'm lying in a pool of [B] my blood
[C] And that's where she [C#m] found me
_ _ [E] _ In the [C#m] cemetery
_ [E] _ _ _ [F#] A [C#] smoking gun in [A] my hand
Now [E] I'm damned for [B] the land of [A] the free
_ Sing [B] with me
[C] That's where she [C#m] found [A] me
_ [E] _ [B] In the [C#m] cemetery
[A] _ _ [E] _ _ [F#] A [C#m] smoking gun in [A] my hand
Now [E] I'm damned for [B] the land of [A] the free
_ Sing [B] with me [C] the American [E] scream
