AA Bondy uses a capo on the second fret in standard tuning. 
Harp Solo is in key of A.
[Verse]
We were Craised by Gwolves
and Cwe are still Fwild
and we Fhowl when the Amtroubled wind Gblows
and in the CTV's blue Glight
(Oh) asCsassins will Flie
Every Fwail, just Amgoing down Gslow.
[Chorus]
So Fdon't tread on Amme
for GI am your Cbrother
I was Fborn with an AmAmerican Gheart.
And Fdon't tread on Amher
for Gshe is your Csister
she was Fborn with an AmAmerican Gheart.
And all the people you meet,
down in the streets,
may be good but they don't wanna know.
So they cover their eyes,
for who wants to be sad,
life is sweet at the bottom of the sea.
[Chorus]
[HARP SOLO 1]
And the mothers will cry,
fathers stay up all night,
with the worry that goes to the bones.
And if your god makes war,
then he's no god I know
cause Christ would not send boys to die.
[Chorus]
Don't you get low as hell,
when the peace dove is filled,
by a man with the blackest of minds.
And above the din,
let the sighing begin,
as we're bound for the longest of days.
[Chorus]
[HARP SOLO 2]

AA Bondy uses a capo on the second fret in standard tuning.

Harp Solo is in key of A.

[Verse]

C G

We were raised by wolves

C F

and we are still wild

F Am G

and we howl when the troubled wind blows

C G

and in the TV's blue light

C F

(Oh) assassins will lie

F Am G

Every wail, just going down slow.

[Chorus]

F Am

So don't tread on me

G C

for I am your brother

F Am G

I was born with an American heart.

F Am

And don't tread on her

G C

for she is your sister

F Am G

she was born with an American heart.

And all the people you meet,

down in the streets,

may be good but they don't wanna know.

So they cover their eyes,

for who wants to be sad,

life is sweet at the bottom of the sea.

[Chorus]

[HARP SOLO 1]

And the mothers will cry,

fathers stay up all night,

with the worry that goes to the bones.

And if your god makes war,

then he's no god I know

cause Christ would not send boys to die.

[Chorus]

Don't you get low as hell,

when the peace dove is filled,

by a man with the blackest of minds.

And above the din,

let the sighing begin,

as we're bound for the longest of days.

[Chorus]
