Biography:
State Radio is an alternative rock group formed in Sherborn, Massachusetts, United States in 2002. They consist of former Dispatch vocalist Chad Stokes Urmston (vocals, guitar), Chuck Fay (bass) and Mike “Mad Dog” Najarian (drums),
For generations of great American songwriters, the music and the message have been inextricably linked. Word and deed are one in the same, and the only thing more moving than the rousing call to action is the evocative melody that transports the words like a shell casing.

Fall Of The American Empire
Artist: State Radio
Album: Year of the Crow
First tab for ultimate guitar ever. In my opinion it sounds right. The strumming
is a bit strong, but just try. Please rate and let me know, wether it's ok or not.
You can play C# instead of C#7 if it sounds to strange... I prefer C#7, but it's just what I think

Did you get the invitation?
The Swan song of a nation
Everyone's waiting for you inside.
We got soda pop and hickory stills.
Quinn the eskimo in espadrille
And Sally makin' you feel alright.
B C#7 E B F#
B C#7 E B
The baroness and her bayonets,
The madhatter hedgin' bets
Against the good judgment of the swinging king.
It's the fall of the American empire
But don't you worry honey you didn't miss a thing.

Juiced up dignitaries gettin' loose like Thelonious did.
We got our own sanctimonious kid
And he could suck the diamond off a diamond ring.
Just send in the farmers in the national guard,
We'll be in the war room gettin' hard.
Just wear your dress blues you know you look so damn dashing.

Don't be shy, sally won't bite you
'Cause she got her pants on fire
And she got rabbit baby calling your name.

Fall of the American empire
It should've been all right,
Should've should've...
But me I'm just workin' a sound bite,
just rolling my smokes tight.
You know they said it was all right, all right.

'Cause Lucy's in the nude with nothing left to lose
Except them thigh high kiss the sky American boots.

Sally got dirty with a senator's son
You know the one from Massachusetts,
She was pleased to come his advances
For her it was a man of wealth and taste.
But she got so cut up by the man who would not stop.
Thought all she needed was love but it was like nothing she thought
And when Lucy came to get her,
In the corner she lay.

It's the Fall of the American empire
It should've been all right,
Should've should've...
But me I'm just workin' a sound bite,
Just rolling my smokes tight.
You know they said it was all right, all right.
All right, all right, all right.
Where you going Mr. Holy,
All right, all right, all right
Say where were you going Mr. Holy.

Lucy girl I found your diamonds,
They shine like sirens singing from the shoals of buzzard's bay.
It's worse then we know,
How I wish it wasn't so,
That all tomorrow's parties have gone away.

Fall, all in for the fall of the, American empire...
You said it would never go away.
Fall, all in for the fall of the, American empire...
Lucy girl can't you just stay
