If you lift your pointer finger before
each chord (and twice during the Fmaj7),
you can do the little hammer-on thing
you hear in the recording.
Also, I'll show you the little Am lick
for the chorus down below.
Intro: Am
We [Am]raise the flags and [C]statues to our [Fmaj7]mission
we've [Am]spoken out in [C]slogans and in cam[Fmaj7]paigns
[Am]talked and talked on [C]almost every [Fmaj7]issue
where op[Am]pression of the [C]masses is the constant [Fmaj7]theme
but what [Am]does this mean to a [C]little town in [Fmaj7]Iowa?
where the [Am]jobs have gone down[C]stream down south and o[Fmaj7]ut
where their [Am]fingers used to [C]work to the bone all [Fmaj7]day
profits [Am]rise and fall and [C]starvation is a g[Fmaj7]ame

|----------| C Fmaj7
where is the food that used to cover their table?
[Am]whe[Asus2]re is the sense of [C]pride at the end of the [Fmaj7]day?
[Am]to [Asus2]the face of a [C]thriving corpor[Fmaj7]ation
[Am]wha[Asus2]t could a dying [C]family possibly [Fmaj7]say?
[Am]on the face of [C]every American [Fmaj7]worker
is the [Am]constant fear that their [C]job will not [Fmaj7]remain
as the [Am]C.E.O. is [C]planning his [Fmaj7]vacation
to [Am]kill or be killed is the [C]nature of the [Fmaj7]beast
C (ring) Fmaj7
stand in line take a number you sell your soul
then watch it [Am]crumble
into a pile of rubble that [Fmaj7]used to be
your job, your life your [Am]family's daily [C]bread
dry and [Fmaj7]stale malnourished kids
[Am] the house is [C]sold for a degrading [Fmaj7]bid
do we [Am]continue to [C]talk or do we [Fmaj7]take a hammer
to their c[Am]hains
to their chains
to [Fmaj7]their chains![Am]
