Verse 1:

It's like seeing a car crash from inside the car
G A D E
The driver's got his head craned back he's telling you a joke
You see the bus on collision course
You point your arm and turn your head and wait for the impact
[G]This [A]is [B]the [C]feeling we learn to [D]live with in North [G]America[F#][G]
C D E
The morning headlines always accompanied with sweat and nausea
G C A C G A D E
Every week another puzzle piece gets permanently glued into place

Verse 2:

We see the iceberg from 15 miles away
The captain orders the ship to "stay the course"[G][F#][F][E]

"Full speed ahead" shouts the accurst
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/n/nofx/usa_holes_tab_ver_2.html )
The next thing we heard was, "rich women and children first"
[G]The [A]ship [B]is [C]listing, the captain's [D]placing blame on the i[G]ceberg[F#][G]
C D E (E G A B)
"That berg attacked us, I am declaring war on the Arctic"
[G]Who could ever have [C]predicted the greatest [A]ship could so easily [C]sink (duh)

Solo: Really Fast Scales with lots of pull offs.
I've found it's best to improv with wah pedal and Pentatonic scale in Eminor: (no wah pedal? do some bendys)

Verse 3:
[E]Lifeboats are useless without [C]rescue
[D]The only ships show up for [G]salvage[F#]
[E]When setting sail on the [C]St. Louis
[D]We all knew what conseq[G]uences [F#]
Could [E]be with the crew we had at the [C]controls
There's [D]no harborage for the USA-h[G]oles[F#]
I [E]doubt there's a benign God to [C]save our souls
Cuz no one [D]else is gonna save the USA-h[G]oles[F#]
