 It's tuned down to D, so it's
        D  G  C  F  A  D
I just wrote the chords down as if the guitar were in E.  This seems to match
well with the CD, so just listen and strum as you see fit.
        ADefinitelyF, this is the Dwrong place to bGe
there's blFood on the Cfuton,
there's a Ekid drinkin' Afire.
Goin' down to the sFea,
they got pDeople to Gmeet,
shakin' hFands with themsCelves,
        E           F -------->slide Ab
lookin' out for themselves.
WChen they aFsk you for cGredit,
Fgive them a branCch.
CWhen they wFant you to geGt it,
Fchew on the grass.C  
I know, EI knowF  
'cause they  toDld me to tell Gyou
there's Fnothing to teCll you,
there's nEothing to Asell you.
AIn the afterFnoon, Driding the Gscapegoat,
Fburning eCquipment, 
EdecomAposing.
Cool off your jetFs, 
Dtake off your Gsweats,
I got a Ffunny feeCling
                       E   F-------> Ab  
they got plastic in the afterlife.
CWhen they Fwant you to Gcry,
Fleap into the Csky.
When they Fsuck your minGd,
like a pFigeon you fCly.
I knowE, I knowF,
it's the Dpositive peoGple
running Ffrom their tCime
looking Efor some fAeeling
