Em
I'm Miss Liberty
Give me your junkies
C		   Am
your irresponsible drummers
Em
I’ve swept my halls clean of clean
			  C                  Am
Your kitchen raiders your wingtip dayrunners

C	      B7
Go plant your flags and make your
Em	      Am  	     C
Promise to my promised land
	       B7   		   Em
And we’ll make love to the new frontier
		 Am
In the hot beach sands

C		 B7              Em    Am
  You’ll hold me like a drowning man
C		   B7
And come at me too human and then
Drag me down again and leave me

Am
Broken like a spine
			       Em
Split open like a melon that’s been
Dropped from a high high place
Am
Broken like a spine
			      Em
Split open like a melon that’s been dropped

Em
I like this country she’s like a whore
Who loves her junkies
    C			 Am
Who loves all her sad outlaws
Em
Lifts up her skirt to tease and flirt
			   C			Am
With the wretched who have washed up at her shores

C	      B7
When we die I hope someone’s god
Em               Am
Takes us in like immigrants
C              B7              	    Em
And we’ll make love in the leftover light
            Am
Of heaven’s tenements

C		  B7             Em    Am
  You’ll hold me like a drowning man
C		   B7
And come at me too human and then
Drag me down again and leave me

Am
Broken like a spine
			       Em
Split open like a melon that’s been
Dropped from a high high place
Am
Broken like a spine
			            C
Split open like a melon that’s been dropped

Yes, Yeah
	    Em
Yeah, Yeah, Yes
