If you don't understand the "slash" chords you can just play the chord of the first letter.
eg for D/F# just play a D chord. The intro is optional, it is a spoken word sample, the location of
the G chord is where the guitar fades in.
[Intro]
N.C.
We feel that racism and sexism and class seperation
G
That these are desecrations
G
And we feel that the american flag does not represent
G
Integrity, honor, justice or truth
[Verse 1]
G D/F#
My country 'tis of thee
Em C/G
Sweet land of poverty
G D/F# G
For thee I weep
G
Land where my mother cried
D/F#
Land where my father died
Em C/G
Sweet land of genocide
G D/F# G G
Pride of my heart
[Verse 2]
G D/F#
My country 'tis of thee
Em C/G
Sweet land of industry
G D/F# G
We'll break your back
G
Clean out your minerals
D/F#
Fill you with chemicals
Em C/G
We kill for what is profitable
G D/F# G G
Oh concrete world
[Verse 3]
G D/F#
Our climate's suffering
Em C/G
All nature feels the sting
G D/F# G
Poisoned progress
G
All of these mouths to feed
D/F#
All of this land to seed
Em C/G
From sea to shining sea
G D/F# G G
Gold under - ground
[Verse 4]
G D/F#
Our people left to die
Em C/G
Battlefield country-side
G D/F# G
Paved-over graves
G D/F#
Suburban privileges make desolate villages
Em C/G
Broken treaties, Broken promises
G D/F# G G
Conquer, repeat
[Verse 5]
G D/F#
All warriors represent
Em C/G
Remind those who forget
G D/F# G
The time is now
G
To walk in humble pride
D/F#
Prepare and fortify
Em C/G
Resist comforts of compromise
[Outro]
