G7
 They say, “Buy when there's blood in the streets
G7
Even if the blood is your own”
      G7
So they employed men far away
  G7
To turn against their home
Bb
 Centuries in the distant mist
Am       D  Dsus2 Dm D F
 But it's not a dream

Verse 5:
    G          Am

This river of blood congeals?
G    Am  C F
 Bum bum bum

The dog was caged

 Bum bum bum

Bridge 2:

Thought I heard some woman screaming
   G7
And I sat up in my bed
   G7
And I went over to the window
   G7
And I saw him in the cold street, lying dead

  Oh, please tell me, you academics

The Ku Klux Klan

From my pierced hands

They sent me back an Apple phone

A fine-hair comb
  F
And a bell tolled

 Bum bum bum

Verse 11:
  G            Am
The phone rang once and the line went dead

All blood runs red

White pups still bred

 Bum bum bum
