Verse 1

Well they tEied that yellow rF♯mibbon round the C♯moak tree.

They've wEorn out all the prF♯mayer in their heartC♯ms.

All aAlong thought they were rEouting for the hBome team,

As they're sAent to the game and torn apaBrt. C5

We tEwist this tourniF♯mquet upon the pC♯mipeline,

That he cEarries all the pF♯main in the world. C♯m

As we blAindly clap and chEeer from the siBdelines

It's clear, on a lAosing streak from the very sBtart.

Chorus

And tC5hat's where they foundC♯m me,A E

In tBhe cemeteC♯mry. A E B

A smoking C♯mgun in my hAand,

Now I'm damnedE for the lanBd of the free.A

Sing with Bme,

The american scrEeam.
