Chords after intro: A G D  A G D

         A                       G  D
We'll be fighting in the streets
         A                    G  D
With our children at our feet
        A                                     E  G  D
And the morals that they worship will be gone
        A                     G  D
And the men who spurred us on
       A                      G  D
Sit in judgement of all wrong
        A                                  E  G  D
They decide and the shotgun sings the song


CHORUS:
     D      A          D         A
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
D      A           D        A
Take a bow for the new revolution
D         A           D            A
Smile and grin at the change all around
G                     E
Pick up my guitar and play
G               E
Just like yesterday
          G                   D
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
   D         D        D   A G D  A G D
We don't get fooled again


    A                      G  D
The change, it had to come
   A                 G  D
We knew it all along
        A                                E  G  D
We were liberated from the foe, that's all
        A                         G  D
And the world looks just the same
    A                     G  D
And history ain't changed
           A                                     E   G  D
'Cause the banners, they'd all flown in the last war


CHORUS


INTERLUDE:
B
I'll move myself and my family aside
E
If we happen to be left half alive
A
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
B                                        B A E  B A E
For I know that the hypnotized never lie
(ORGAN SOLO)


        A                     G  D
There's nothing in the street
          A               G  D
Looks any different to me
        A                               E  G  D
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-by
        A                 G  D
And the party on the left
           A                  G  D
Is now the party on the right
          A                                      E  G  D
And their beards have all grown longer overnight

CHORUS

A                 A G D
Meet the new boss
A                    A G D
Same as the old boss

A G D  A G D  A A A A A~~~~
