       (1)
after clearing his throat
     (2)                    (3)
the speaker read from the manuscript
     (1)               (2)                       (3)
"only 40 % of all participants have remained alcoholic"
     A              G               F
and we began to discuss amongst ourselves
          D             A           G
the possibility for a dream-filled holiday
D              Em   G     D
order for the new slave trade

new flag blowing
      G
we've used up our minds
        Bm
we had no way of knowing
D
old flag burning
       G
we've lost our souls
          Bm
there'll be no returning
         G          D# D
we've diverted back
          G         D# D
to the stretch rack
       G
only this time
    D#            D
we won't snap back
        Bm
while crossing the parking lot
     Em
a stranger approached me
 Bm              Em
handed me a gun
       Bm
said "meet me in the ashes
       Em         Bm
of the old city"
                  A
and we're bound
         Em
to have
         A
some fun

D  G F#m  G F#m  G A
