As arranged/played by The Magnificent Sevens in their cover.
[Double-time chorus]
C The tangled Gweb they weave F spans from Pine to Ruby CRidge
Way back to GShay's defeat F on up to Gufstafsen
C Now cue the Gass parade of Fdittoheads and commisars and Cpricks
To drown out the Gfaintest hint of Fcommie faggot heretics
[Chorus]
C The nail that G sticks up F gets hammered down
C The master's G finest, F his finest tools are found
C Slack-jawed G and placid F amidst the cacophony
C Of screaming G billboards F and Disney-fied history
[Verse]
G Sometimes the ties that Ambind us are strange F
No justice Gshines upon the cemetery plots marked
AmHampton, Weaver, or FAnna Mae, where
[Chorus]
C Federal G bureaus F and fraternal orders
C Have cast their G shadows
FPermanent features built into these borders

[Bridge]
Am But under cover of the, F the Amcustomary gap we find beFtween
Am History and truth, founding fatFhers
AmBack with the rockets blinding red glare F
The bombs bursting in air, one nation indivisible
[Verse]
The truth is when the Gback country learned of ratification
The Ampeople had a coffin painted Fblack
And Gsolemnly borne in funeral procession
They Amburied it deep in the Fearth as
[Chorus]
C An emblem G of the, F the disillusion
C Internment G of their, F their Publick Liberty
C And someday, G somewhere, F today's empires C are
G Tomorrow's F ashes
