Guitar chords with lyrics


Key: Am

This includes the signature interlude, solo measures, and outro, to give the some some completion.

🤘 Verse 1:
Am C G D
Am C G D
Am        C
Kill for gain, or shoot to maim
  G        D
But we don't need a reason
  Am       C
The golden goose is on the loose
  G      D
And never out of season
Am          C
Blackened pride still burns inside
   G        D
This shell of bloody treason
Am         C
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
    G       D
For the love of living death

🤘 Pre-Chorus:
  Am    Fmaj7    A7sus4 C
The killer's breed or the Demon's seed
  F      Bb      C  G
The glamour, the fortune, the pain

Am C G D
  Am            C
The blind men shout "Let the creatures out
   G       D
We'll show the unbelievers"
  Am        C
The napalm screams of human flames
   G         D
Of a prime time Belsen feast  yeah!
    Am       C
As the reasons for the carnage
     G         D
Cut their meat and lick the gravy
  Am         C
We oil the jaws of the war machine
  G        D
And feed it with our babies


🤘 Pre-Chorus:
  Am    Fmaj7    A7sus4 C
The killer's breed or the Demon's seed

Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain

Don't you pray for my soul anymore?

🤘 Verse 3:
  Am      C
The body bags and little rags
  G        D
Of children torn in two
    Am           C
And the jellied brains of those who remain
      G        D
To put the finger right on you
    Am       C
As the madmen play on words and make us
G         D
All dance to their song
    Am        C
To the tune of starving millions
     G       D
to make a better kind of gun


🤘 Pre-Chorus:
