The intro and first verse is all on the piano,
but I transcribed what the chords would be if you wanted to strum or pick them on guitar.
For the rest, barre chords/open chords sound best, but you can play power chords if you prefer.
And don't forget to tune a half step down to match the record.
[Intro]
E B E B E B A E
[Verse]
We woke Eup today to fBind
that all of Eus were out of tBime
The presidEent got on the lBine
ApoloAgizing, but resEigned
EHeads were hung, and tears were sBhed
Facing aEll but certain dBeath
But some of Eus decided oBur last breath
Wouldn't Aexit as a gEasp

Pass that wEine, and cheers my fBriend!
Congrats, we've mEade it to the eBnd
So glad despEite our fate belBow the bomb,
