___________________________________________________________________________
(Bit before intro is       B     C#    Aadd9  B)
Intro is just      E     F#7     A  E  
ESoldiers come F#7quickly, I feel the Aearth beneath my Efeet.
EI'm feeling bF#7adly, it's not an at-Atempt at decenEcy.
EAnd if you're well F#7off, well then I'm hAappy some for Eyou.
EBut I'd rather not F#7celebrate my de-Afeat and humili-C#mation hB7ere with 
Eyou.F#7  A  E  
ESomeone come qF#7uickly, this place was Abuilt for moving Eout.
ELeave behind bF#7uildings, the city pAlanners got mapped Eout.
EBring with you F#7history, and Amake your hard earned Efeast.
EThen we'll go to F#7Omaha to Awork and exploit the C#mbooming muB7sic 
Ascene   and hum-Am7ility...E  E  
Bm    A    G    A
    BmAnd we've been Atalking all Gnight...F#  
A (hold for 3 bars)    Am
    E       F#7       A      E(repeat)
(lead solo)
EOh god come F#7quickly, the exe-Acution of all Ethings.
ELet's start with the F#7bears and the air and mAountains, rivers, and Estreams.
EThen we'll murder what F#7matters to you and move Aon to your neighbours and Ekids
ECrush all hopes of F#7happiness with dis-Aease cause of what you Edid.
EAnd lastly, you're all F#7alone with Anothing left but Esleep.
EBut sleep never F#7comes to you, it's the Aguilt and forever C#mwakefulB7ness of
the Aweak. It's just Am7you and me.
          C#mC#m7sus4*               A  
     The exe-cution  of all things.
The exe-Ccution Cmof all C#mthings.
The exe-Bcution of all Athings.

*Just in case UG doesn't recognise C#m7sus4, it's this;
                      9  11  10  11  9  9 
I also suggest primarily using barre chords with roots on the E string 
rather than the A string. (With the possible exception of Am7 which sounds 
nice in the normal position.)
