Verse 1:



It's like seeing a car crash from inside the car

                                                              G A D E*

The driver's got his head craned back he's telling you a joke

                                      

You see the bus on collision course

                                                            

You point your arm and turn your head and wait for the impact

G    A  B   C                   D                  G       F# G

This is the feeling we learn to live with in North America

             C                D                         E*

The morning headlines always accompanied with sweat and nausea

G                  C                 A                      C     G A D E*

Every week another puzzle piece gets permanently glued into place





Verse 2:



We see the iceberg from 15 miles away

                                                 G F# F E

The captain orders the ship to "stay the course"



"Full speed ahead" shouts the accurst



The next thing we heard was, "rich women and children first"

G   A    B  C                      D                     G      F#  G

The ship is listing, the captain's placing blame on the iceberg

           C                 D                    E* (E G A B)

"That berg attacked us, I am declaring war on the Arctic"

G                   C                      A                    C

Who could ever have predicted the greatest ship could so easily sink (duh)





Solo: Really Fast Scales with lots of pull offs.

I've found it's best to improv with wah pedal and Pentatonic scale in Eminor: (no wah pedal? do some bendys)

Verse 3:

E                             C

Lifeboats are useless without rescue

D                          G         F#

The only ships show up for salvage

E                        C

When setting sail on the St. Louis

D                      G       F#

We all knew what consequences 

      E                              C

Could be with the crew we had at the controls

        D                         G     F#

There's no harborage for the USA-holes

  E                             C

I doubt there's a benign God to save our souls

           D                           G     F#

Cuz no one else is gonna save the USA-holes
