Verse 1
Well they tEied that yellow rF#mibbon round the C#moak tree.
They've wEorn out all the prF#mayer in their heartC#ms.
All aAlong thought they were rEouting for the hBome team,
As they're sAent to the game and torn apaBrt. C5
We tEwist this tourniF#mquet upon the pC#mipeline,
That he cEarries all the pF#main in the world. C#m
As we blAindly clap and chEeer from the siBdelines
It's clear, on a lAosing streak from the very sBtart.
Chorus
And tC5hat's where they foundC#m me,A E
In tBhe cemeteC#mry. A E B
A smoking C#mgun in my hAand,
Now I'm damnedE for the lanBd of the free.A
Sing with Bme,
The american scrEeam.
