The American Scream

                       E                               F#m                         C#m 
Well they tied that yellow ribbon round the oak tree.
                   E                                 F#m                               C#m 
They've worn out all the prayer in their hearts.
           A                                             E                             B 
All along thought they were routing for the home team,
                         A                                                     B         C5 
As they're sent to the game and torn apart.
         E                             F#m                       C#m 
We twist this tourniquet upon the pipeline,
                   E                             F#m                             C#m 
That he carries all the pain in the world.
                 A                               E                           B 
As we blindly clap and cheer from the sidelines
                                     A                                                     B 
It's clear, on a losing streak from the very start.
           C5                                       C#mA      E 
And that's where they found me,
         B               C#mA      E     B 
In the cemetery.
                     C#m               A 
A smoking gun in my hand,
                             E                     B                         A 
Now I'm damned for the land of the free.
                     B 
Sing with me,
                                 E 
The american scream.

Verse 2
           E                               F#m                       C#m 
They took that faded ribbon off the oak tree.
                   E                               F#m                     C#m 
They've worn out all the hope in their hearts.
           A                             E                           B 
All along thought I was doing the right thing,
                     A                                       B 
Now I'm lying in a pool of my blood.
