C
This song is for the rats
Bb
Who hurled themselves into the ocean
Dm F
When they saw that the explosives in the cargo hold
C
Were just about to blow

C
This song is for the soil
Bb
That's toxic clear down to the bedrock
Dm F
Where no thing of consequence can grow
C
Drop your seeds there, let them go

C Am F Am --> play for 4 beats each
Let them all go

C Am F Am* C
Let them all go

C
This song is for the people
Bb
Who tell their families that they're sorry
Dm F C
For things they can't and won't feel sorry for

C
And once there was a desk
Bb
And now it's in a storage locker somewhere
Dm F
And this song is for the stick pins and the cottons
C
I left in the top drawer

C Am F Am
Let 'em all go
C Am F Am*
Let 'em all go

C Gm F C --> Play each chord for 4 beats. Play 4 times

C
I wanna sing one for the cars
Bb
That are right now headed silent down the highway
Dm F
And it's dark and there is nobody driving

C
And something has got to give

C
I saw you waiting by the roadside
Bb
You didn't know that I was watching
Dm F
Now you know
C
Let it all go

C Am F Am
Let 'em all go
C Am F Am*
Let it all go

Outro:

*:
Strum the Am chord a few times and at the final strums release the index finger
from the B string and strum. Alternate between this and the normal Am 2 or 3
times. Listen to the song to get the hang of it
