Titus Andronicus - A More Perfect Union Chords

[Intro]
C  C  F  F x2
 
[Verse 1]
             C                                              F
There'll be no more counting the cars on the Garden State Parkway
                     C                                      F
Nor waiting for the Fung Wah bus to carry me to who-knows-where
C                                                    F
And when I stand tonight, 'neath the lights of the Fenway
            C                                           F
Will I not yell like hell for the glory of the Newark Bears?
          C                                      F
Because where I'm going to now, no one can ever hurt me
           C                                    F
Where the well of human hatred is shallow and dry
    C                                            F
No, I never wanted to change the world, but I'm looking for a new New Jersey
          Am             C                     F
Because tramps like us, baby, we were born to die

[Verse 2]
          C                            Am
I'm doing 70 on 17, I'm doing 80 over 84
       G                                            C
And I never let the Meritt Parkway magnetize me no more
            C
Give me a brutal Somerville summer
                            Am
Give me a cruel New England winter
              G
Give me the great Pine Barrens
                                 C
So I can see them turned into splinters
       C                                          Am
And if I come in on a donkey, let me go out on a gurney
           G                                                C
I want to realize too late I never should have left New Jersey
  C                       Am
Whoa oh-oh-oh, whoa oh-oh-oh
G                        C
Na-na na-na-na na na-na,   yeah, yeah!
  C                       Am
Whoa oh-oh-oh, whoa oh-oh-oh

[Verse 3]
   C
I sense the enemy, they're rustling around in the trees
    C                                 F             C
I thought I had gotten away but they followed me to 02143
    C               F          C                  F
Oh, woe, woe is me,   no one knows the trouble I see
           C                              F
When they hang Jeff Davis from a sour apple tree
             C
I'll sit beneath the leaves and weep
 C                         F        C              F
None of us shall be saved,   every man will be a slave
     C                                    F                     C
For John Brown's body lies mouldering in the grave and there's rumbling down in the caves
 C                                F
So if it's time for choosing sides
         C                                    F
And to show this dirty city how we do the Jersey Slide
    C                                  F
And if it deserves a better class of criminal
     C                            F
Then I'ma give it to them tonight
          C                    F
So we'll rally around the flag
 C                    F
Rally around the flag
 C                                        F
Rally around the flag, boys, rally once again
  C                             F
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom
 C                    F
Rally around the flag
 C                    F
Rally around the flag
  C                 F
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
      C                F
His truth is marching on
