# THE BALLAD OF SQUEAKY FROMME (Amy Ray) -------------------------------------- The whole song is pretty much Am C G D, with some variations, mostly by taking your middle finger off and on various strings. ("Random 9's," I call it.) I think the intro is something like this: Am Am(4) C C G G D D E 0-----0-0-0-0-0-|0-----0---0-0-0-|3-----3-3-3-2---|------2-2-0-0-0-| B 1-----1-1-1-1-1-|1-----1---1-1-1-|0-----0-0-0-3---|------3-3-3-3-3-| G 2-----2-2-2-2-2-|0-----0---0-0-0-|0-----0-0-0-2---|------2-2-2-2-2-| D 2-----2-0-0-0-0-|2-----2---2-0-0-|0-----0-0-0-0---|----------0-0-0-| A 0-----0-0-0-0-0-|3-----3---3-3-3-|2-----2-0-0-0---|----------0-0-0-| E ----------------|3-----3---3-3-3-|3-----3-3-3-----|----------------| ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . And something close to that goes through the whole song, except the D usually falls more on the downbeat...
Am[intCro]G D Am We're scared as hellC 'cause GSqueaky's out of jailD I can Amfeel her close behCind me like the Gdevil on my heDels They Amsay she's heading to CCalifornia or Gmaybe for DCD But I'm Amsittin' here down in GeCorgia aGrguing with my fDamily Am G C D
The contras called a truce, but they broke it in an hour Now someone sittin' in the Tower of Babel is givin' them their power Well they stopped the war in Bethlehem just to let sweet Jesus pass Oh but how much does it really mean if they screw him over behind his back' I can feel her closin' in, and I hope she understands That society and me, now we aren't necessarily hand in hand She's broken all her bonds, got no superficial cause You know she gave up all her chances to live inside the law Now Squeaky, peace on earth - will you tell me what it's worth' From the inside out I'd let you in; you might understand Well now Squeaky, in your mixed-up mind, you may not be so blind From the inside out I'd let you in, you might understand
That AmGod is in my hCeart, but the GDevil's in our bDones And AmSqueaky,C G Dyou are not alAmone, C yeah, Gyou are not alDone Gimme pAmeace on earth, Cpeace on earth, G6peace on earth, Dpeace on earth AmSqueaky, gimme Cpeace on earth, G6peace on earth, Dpeace on earth Ampeace on earth, Cpeace on earth, G6peace on earth, Dpeace on earth Now AmSqueaky, gimme Cpeace on earth, and then you Gtell me what it's worth (n.c.) From the inside out I would let you in, I think that you might understand (n.c.) That a god is in my heart, but the devil, I said the devil's in our bones And AmSqueaky,C G you are not alone
