Tuning: E A D G B E

[Verse 1]

Y^Dmou see the ghosts of the buffalo Moving both fierce and slow Li^Dke glittering prophesies

On the edge of the horizon

As ^Dmyou drive glittering highways And beaten-up by-ways Th^Dat straddle and girdle

A great and many-faced nation

Y^Dmou see lambs in the ghettos Who worship their Gepettos Be^Dlieving in, though never seeing

The strings they think bind them

So^Dm you write to our congressmen With bleeding pens ^DmOf the sorrow within

And in return they just send

Tickets to the latest Tom Hanks show ^D

[Chorus]

W^Felcome to the ^Gnew wild w^Dmest E^Fach m^Gan for himse^Dlf ^FCivilized s^Gteeples And lo^Cnely pe^Gople W^Felcome to the ^Gnew wild w^Dmest

[Verse 2]

There are ^Dmso many factions And cue-card reactions ^DmIt's hard to keep clear

The possibilities here

'Cause there's no force to u^Dnite them Pri^Dmvilege has ruled for thousands of years

Wars have been fought with bibles and tears

^DmYet liberation can't deny the temptation And soon becomes the op^Dpressor S^Dmhow me a leader who's fit to lead

Who don't sow his seed in anything Wounded enough to breed Because after all what fun is power

If you can't act like a r^Dock star?

[Chorus]

W^Felcome to the ^Gnew wild w^Dmest E^Fach m^Gan for himse^Dlf ^FCivilized s^Gteeples And lo^Cnely pe^Gople W^Felcome to the n^Gew-

[Verse 3]

See ^Dmme, I've been cruel I've been petty and unkind ^DmBut I know my own mind

And since it seems clear

^DmThere's no one leading us here The only thing left it appears Is to task ourselves to be better each t^Dime

Then those before us

We'll ^Dmbe an army of theives Of self-freed slaves ^DmOf mild-mannered maids

We'll fight with whispers and blades

So get ready, a new day is ^Ddawning

[Chorus]

W^Felcome to the ^Gnew wild w^Dmest E^Fach m^Gan for himse^Dlf ^FCivilized s^Gteeples And lo^Cnely pe^Gople W^Felcome to the ^Gnew wild w^Dmest
