C#m              A                B      C#m
  Thin December air is like the dry ice smoke
                         A        B           C#m
  You will come to your senses or inhale and choke
           A           B         C#m
  My IQ allows me to brush you aside
                     A             B
  You are zeros and ones, you're wrong when I'm right

|A    |F#m  B  |

C#m        B         E
  Now the tyrant is dead
           B
  and his lady is free

  It's not as wet as the rain, or as cold as the snow
                             A            B      C#m
  drives him in hard to the sane and the simple soul
                          A           B         C#m
  I take a charge at my chance, you know how it is
                A          B
  let go of my hand, you know how it is

|A    |F#m  B  |
