Key: A
Chords used:
Intro: D--Bm-C#m-D--E-- x4
Verse 1:
When you drive a nail
through all that's good
the carpen----ter becomes
the wood If my concentration
sounds like wreckage
it's cause I got a
new feeling every
thirty seconds
Interlude: D--Bm-C#m-D--E-- x2
Verse 2:
We put a monkey up in space
and I know e------xactly how he felt
Looking at the latticework of
stars missing his brothers back
home. Too much for a postcard
Chorus 1:
Mercy have we gone too
far? Who put all these
criminals in charge?
Did they win or just
hold all the cards?
D(hold) A(hold)
I'm leaving my place in LA
I'm gonna live in my car
Post Chorus:
Verse 3:
Surgery girls
from the USO Flown farm
fresh pure as snow
Hand me that flask
I just can't take it
She had the eyes of
my mom but she was
turning me on
Now I'm fading
Verse 4:
D(hold)
I got duct tape all
around my heart
I got a satellite dish
to julienne my mind
Two-hundred channels
nothing's on but those
network news can make
your eyes see blonde
Chorus 2:
Mercy have we lost our way?
S
(have we lost our way?)
Did we come down the
ladder from the apes?
(Oh those lonely apes)
Will the beard of the
prophet be assuaged?
D(hold)
I was putting my shit
A(hold)
in the car when
the copters came
Guitar Solo: D--Bm-C#m-D--E-- x2
Verse 5:
They put a monkey in
the white house and his
uncle in the movies
Now the real monkey
wants a re-count
He just couldn't
believe they were
his own family
with those values
Chorus 3:
Mercy pick up
your guitar
We'll need a lot
of heroes for this war
(Pick up your guitar)
"Will the last band
please bring the flag?"
cause no one's
D(hold)
rocking the boat
A(hold)
and some kids here
