First part of the verses are really just the bass playing.
In the second part of the verses slide down from F to E (sounds better to me if
you play the F on the 8th fret)

Well it's high noon at the U.K. corral

Em D C B Em

And it's high time I got myself back on the rails

A D F E

I'm the lonesome cowboy, ridin across the range

With just a hand held radio--to keep me sane

Ridin through the f.m. stations, the tumbleweed

And the petrol stations

Will all on board this Yankee station

Prepare themselves for battle stations--

[Chorus]

Jesus Wept. Jesus CHRIST

I can't see for the tear gas, and the dollar signs in my eyes

When he's bought his freedom

G C

By the look of this human jungle

F C

It ain't just the poor who'll be bleeding!

[Instrumental]

[Verse]

Em D C B

Most everyone round here thinks they're something special

Em D C B

That destiny will be kind--

Em D C B

While they're digging for gold, diving for pearls

Em D C B

And aiming for heaven from this man made world

A D F E

Come on down--the devil's in town

A D

He's brought you sticks and stones

F E

To bust your neighbors bones

A D

He's stuck his missiles in your gardens

F E

And his theories down your throat--

A D

And God knows what your gonna do with him

F E

Cos I certainly don't

[Chorus]

Jesus Wept. Jesus CHRIST

I can't see for the tear gas, and the dollar signs in my eyes

By the look of this human jungle

F C

It ain't just the poor who'll be bleeding!

Down by the river, I've been washing out my mouth

From this man made hell!!!
