Tuning: E A D G B E
Can't find the lyrics anywhere, so I did my best, been wanting to play this for a
long time, sounds about right to me.
the D is a C chord shape slid up to the 5th fret like so (at least, thats what is done live).
Listen to the song for pace/strum pattern, I tried to get the chords lined up on
exactly the right words,
but where I put them and this tab submission thing puts them are two very different places.

Intro: G
GWhen we rode into town we didnt have horses
GWe had fate by the balls and destinys face turned in
CWe settled for less on loves dusty trail
GWe wanted something more than just an ok coral
DTake the skeletons from the closet, put em under the floor C
DLets settle up on boothill to the view we adore C
GHeres the truth about us, we get exhumed by assumption
GWe have to work hard, have to get on a talk show
CLet the host root around, see where it goes
GIf thats too far well bust a chair right over his nose
DTake a bite of the big apple while the room is for free C
DSpit the pulp into the Hudson like it was British tea C
Aw maAmrina, marina, its sad and its lGonely,
Dwhen your pointing the gun at the president Em
Im a fluAmnky with a rifle, Im an NRA golden Gboy
Da genius forging a legend Em
GHeres the truth about us, we came in demanding
GA scarlet face wrung battle southern bell - ?
CI let Hoover reply, left me hard to pay
GThe truth about us is buried deep in Connolys lake
DOpen all the coffins, only one thing inside C
DA pink dress and a pillbox hat with Camelot tags C
Aw marinAma, marina, its cold and its lGonely
DWhen the porters are carrying your coffin Em
AmOh please baby please let the coincidence leave mGe
DA martyr to patriotic negligence Em
GShould old acquaintance be forgot and neDver brought to trial G C
AmWhere every girl and boy can grow up to be the president G
DOr grow up to be the presidents killer Em
AmIts equal opportunity, its the land of hope and glory G
DIts a cheap Italian mail order thriller Em
GHeres the truth about us, we sailed from Manhatten
GWe were hoping to find the tears from Ellis island
CSend them back from the shore, send them back out to see
GHow a promise can grow smaller if the two sides agree
DWe sent them packing off to Auschwitz when we heard the reports C
DWe wrote how dare you with their ashes
CAs if we couldnt have known
AmYa see marina, marina, I took lessons from my countryG
DAbout national interest and the big picture Em
AmGonna manifest my destiny, gonna spread the legs of misGery
DGot a piece in my hand and Im loaded Em
GWell the truth about us aint hard to figure
GWell its adding up to a hell of a toll on us
CWe been up all night, let the tympani roll
GFacts in paper pledges turned to solid gold
DPick up your guns from the thug in classroom B C
DTheres people out there whose lives depend on our misery, misery C
GIts the truth about us...
