Am: x02210
C:  x32010
Dm: xx0231
Em: 022000
G:  320003
[Intro]
Am   C   Dm   G
[Verse 1]
The mFother of the oCutlaw
   DmThinks about the time he had the mAmumps
And she's rFeally very sCorry
   DmAnd she hopes this has nothing to do
With the wAmay she brought him up
And the oFutlaw he lies woCunded
   DmAs the doctor gives the police Amsergeant a nod
And the lFast words he was sCaying
   DmSomething about I do belGieve in God
[Chorus 1]
And Amwho divides the Dmoceans
   GWhen a generation's lost its pClace
And Amwho sets the mDmotion
   GOf the hGsus4uman rGace
[Verse 2]
And the sFister of the prCostitute
   DmShe's trying to find the righAmt way to love
Cause wFhen it gets down to make a lCiving
   DmThese days it's pretty hard for a gAmirl to get it up
And the rFomance on her street cCorner
   DmHe rides around in EldorAmado fame
And lFately she's been thCinking
   DmThat what she's been seeing in the movies Gjust ain't the same
[Chorus 2]
And Amwho divides the Dmoceans
   GWhen a generation's lost its pClace
And Amwho sets the mDmotion
   GOf the hGsus4uman rGace
[Interlude]
Am   G   Em   Dm
Am   Dm   G   Gsus4 G
[Verse 3]
And the lFegless Vietnam survCivor
  DmHe's trying to find a joAmb or a wife
Cause hFe can't find peace with hConor
   DmAs he gets conditioned to his wAmheelchair life
And the kFillers still run the cCountry
   DmAnd they count their money with their bAmloodstained hands
And lFately I've been thCinking
   DmMaybe it s time we reGally took a stand
[Chorus 3]
And Amwho divides the Dmoceans
   GWhen a generation's lost its pClace
And Amwho sets the mDmotion
   GOf the hGsus4uman rGace
[Outro]
Am   Dm   G   Gsus4 G   F

[Intro]

Am C Dm G

[Verse 1]

F C

The mother of the outlaw

Dm Am

Thinks about the time he had the mumps

F C

And she's really very sorry

And she hopes this has nothing to do

With the way she brought him up

F C

And the outlaw he lies wounded

Dm Am

As the doctor gives the police sergeant a nod

F C

And the last words he was saying

Dm G

Something about I do believe in God

[Chorus 1]

Am Dm

And who divides the oceans

G C

When a generation's lost its place

Am Dm

And who sets the motion

G Gsus4 G

Of the human race

[Verse 2]

F C

And the sister of the prostitute

Dm Am

She's trying to find the right way to love

F C

Cause when it gets down to make a living

Dm Am

These days it's pretty hard for a girl to get it up

F C

And the romance on her street corner

Dm Am

He rides around in Eldorado fame

F C

And lately she's been thinking

Dm G

That what she's been seeing in the movies just ain't the same

[Chorus 2]

Am Dm

And who divides the oceans

G C

When a generation's lost its place

Am Dm

And who sets the motion

G Gsus4 G

Of the human race

[Interlude]

Am G Em Dm

Am Dm G Gsus4 G

[Verse 3]

F C

And the legless Vietnam survivor

Dm Am

He's trying to find a job or a wife

F C

Cause he can't find peace with honor

Dm Am

As he gets conditioned to his wheelchair life

F C

And the killers still run the country

Dm Am

And they count their money with their bloodstained hands

F C

And lately I've been thinking

Dm G

Maybe it s time we really took a stand

[Chorus 3]

Am Dm

And who divides the oceans

G C

When a generation's lost its place

Am Dm

And who sets the motion

G Gsus4 G

Of the human race

[Outro]

Am Dm G Gsus4 G F
