If you lift your pointer finger before
each chord (and twice during the Fmaj7),
you can do the little hammer-on thing
you hear in the recording.
Also, I'll show you the little Am lick
for the chorus down below.
Intro: Am
Am C Fmaj7
We raise the flags and statues to our mission
Am C Fmaj7
we've spoken out in slogans and in campaigns
Am C Fmaj7
talked and talked on almost every issue
Am C Fmaj7
where oppression of the masses is the constant theme
Am C Fmaj7
but what does this mean to a little town in Iowa?
Am C Fmaj7
where the jobs have gone downstream down south and out
Am C Fmaj7
where their fingers used to work to the bone all day
Am C Fmaj7
profits rise and fall and starvation is a game

where is the food that used to cover their table?

where is the sense of pride at the end of the day?
Am Asus2 C Fmaj7
to the face of a thriving corporation
Am Asus2 C Fmaj7
what could a dying family possibly say?
Am C Fmaj7
on the face of every American worker
Am C Fmaj7
is the constant fear that their job will not remain
Am C Fmaj7
as the C.E.O. is planning his vacation
Am C Fmaj7
to kill or be killed is the nature of the beast
C (ring) Fmaj7
stand in line take a number you sell your soul
Am
then watch it crumble
Fmaj7
into a pile of rubble that used to be
Am C
your job, your life your family's daily bread
Fmaj7
dry and stale malnourished kids
Am C Fmaj7
the house is sold for a degrading bid
Am C Fmaj7
do we continue to talk or do we take a hammer
Am
