Hey,this is a simplified version for acoustic guitars.I think this song can also be played with chords on accoustic guitar. I'm using a D-Tuning, but it might also be okay in standard tuning. Notice: In Verse it also might sound good to play G5 and F#5 instead of G and F# Enjoy it. Verse:

^E5 When our rivers run dry and our crops cease to ^Ggrow ^F# ^E5 ^E5 And when our summers grow longer and winters won't ^Gsnow ^F# ^E5 From the ^Cbanks of the ocean and the ^Aice in the hills To the ^E5fight in the desert where ^Bprogress stands still ^CWhen we've lost our ^Awill

Chorus:

That's how we'll ^E5know ^GThis is not a ^Atest, oh ^E5no This is ^Gcardiac a^Arrest Of a ^E5world too proud to ad^Gmit our mis^Atakes We're ^E5crashing into the ^Gground as we ^Aall fall from ^E5grace

Verse:

^E5 When the air that we breathe becomes air that we ^Gchoke^F# ^E5 ^E5 When the marsh fever spreads from the swamps to our ^Ghomes^F# ^E5 When your ^Chome on the range has been ^Atorn down and paved and The ^E5buffalo roam to a ^Bslaughterhouse grave ^CWhat more will it ^Atake

Chorus:

For us to ^E5know ^GThis is not a ^Atest, oh ^E5no This is ^Gcardiac ^Aarrest Of a ^E5world too proud to ad^Gmit our mis^Atakes ^E5Kissing the gro^Gund as we ^Aall fall from ^E5grace

Bridge:

^E5 This is a chance to ^Cset things ^Astraight ^E5 To bend or break the ^Crules back ^Ainto place ^E5 There is no ^Cmiddle ^Aground, no compromise, we've drawn the line With ^E5perfect aim, ^Cwe stand back and ^Athrow Glass ^E5windows break and it's ^Call about to ^Ablow ^E5Lights go out as we ^Cpass the torch ^Aagain In ^Ghope that it stays ^Dlit ^B ^C

solo

Neut^Crality means that you ^Adon't really care Cause the ^E5struggle goes on even ^Bwhen you're not there ^CBlind and una^Aware

chorus:

That's how we'll ^E5know ^GThis is not a ^Atest, oh ^E5no This is ^Gcardiac ^Aarrest Of a ^E5world too proud to ad^Gmit our mis^Atakes E5 G A We're c^E5rashing into the ground as we all, yeah we all, all fall from grace
