Verse: 

B                          C# 
Driving through the south, no need to stop for gas 

B                           C# 
Thats all taken care of, by the gas man 

B                             C# 
Some of it is very beautiful, some of it has scars 

B                       Asus2 
and some of it is ugly, as a bigot in a bar 

B                                   C# 
Travelling through the south by car, me and Bonn and Charlie B 
        
B                               C# 
The night makes us stop, by the side of the road for tea 

B                                              C# 
I look up in the distance, a branding iron is stuck up in the night sky 

B 
It's in the shape of American, and it's in flames 

Asus2 
but I'm not sure why 


Chorus: 

         E-B-C#-G#m-A 
Into the cornfields 

         E-B-C#-G#m-A 
Into the cordnfields 

         E-B-C#-G#m-A 
We don't want to go 


The chorus is played the same as the intro, he drags out the word "cornfields" but its 
easy to get the hang of if you listen to it, you can alternate with the A and the Asus2 
in places, just see which sounds best to you. Thats the whole song, enjoy. Any comments 
are welcome.
