Hey, guys. I noticed a few errors in the previous submission of chords for 
this song, so I corrected it. Some of the chords are the same, just with
different fingerings, so I marked anything like that
with an asterisk (*) or plus sign (+).

Intro: A6 A A6 A D6 D E6 x2


A
I'm waiting for the sun to rise
                      D6      E6
So I can find my way back to Texas
    A
But oh it's still dark outside
                      D6        E6
'Cuz I can taste the fire on my lips

         A                         D6      E6
And so I say to lord, I'm so tired of this mess
          A
But this nation still burns at night
              D6       E6
Our ribs the coal of progress

   
    E        D*                   
So hey, get away from here, old ghost
          E                  D*
We don't like your kind, soldier
                      E
Defend this land and fight

 
A+ riff x2

A
The fields of corn they turn to dust
                     D6       E6
Said the cross-eyed boy from Pawnee
     A
The old machines are laid to rest
              D6            E6
New England stars, they're lovely


                A
And so I say to him, boy,
              D6     E6
Have you seen men in these parts
A
Hey hey yeah yeah
                  D6  E6
Black gold swims under the dirt


    E        D*                   
So hey, get away from here, old ghost
          E                  D*
We don't like your kind, soldier
                      E
Defend this land and fight   


A   D*
Oh, la la
A*
Hey, hey, yeah, yeah!
A*      
Hey, hey, yeah, yeah!
