Call To Arms chords

As far as chords go, this entire song is just a jam in E. I'll include the tab for the horn section 
but just jam with boogie woogie blues riffs in E throughout the entire song. 

E the entire time! 
I done Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran 
North Korea tell me where does it end? 
Well the bodies keep piling up with every day 
How many more are they gonna send 

Well they send their sons and daughters off to die for some oil 
and to control the heroin 
Well son I hope you don’t grow up 
Believing that you’ve got to be a puppet to be a man 

Well they cut off your hair and put a badge on your arm 
Strip you of your identity 
Tell you to keep your mouth shut boy and get in the line 
Meet your maker overseas 

Wearing that Kim Jong-il hat while your grandma’s selling pills stat 
Meanwhile, I’m wearing my ‘can’t pay my fucking bills’ hat 

Nobody’s looking up to care about a drone 
All too busy looking down at our phone 
Our ego’s begging for food like a dog from our feed 
Refreshing obsessively until our eyes start to bleed 
They serve up distractions and we eat them with fries 
Until the bombs fall out of our fucking skies

Turn off the TV 
Turn off the news 
Nothing to see here 
They’re serving the blues 
Bullshit on my TV 
Bullshit on my radio 
Hollywood telling me how to be me 
The bullshit’s got to go
