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 uCnder the floor
DLets settle up on boothill to the view we adorCe
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 foCr free
DSpit the pulp into the Hudson like it was CBritish tea
Aw maAmrina, marina, its sad and Gits lonely,
Dwhen your pointing the gun at the presEmident
ImAm a flunky with a rifle, IGm an NRA golden boy
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 CCamelot tags
Aw marinAma, marina, its coldG and its lonely
DWhen the porters are carEmrying your coffin
AmOh please baby please let tGhe coincidence leave me
DA martyr to patriotic negligenEmce
GShould old acquaintanceD be forgot and never brought to triGal C
AmWhere every girl and boy can grow up toG be the president
DOr grow up to be the presidents Emkiller
AmIts equal opportunity, its the lanGd of hope and glory
DIts a cheap Italian mail order Emthriller
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 AuschwiCtz when we heard the reports
DWe wrote how dare you with their ashes
CAs if we couldnt have known
AmYa see marina, marina, I took lessonsG from my country
DAbout national interest and the big picEmture
AmGonna manifest my destiny, gonna spreadG the legs of misery
DGot a piece in my hand and Im loadEmed
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 cClassroom B
DTheres people out there whose lives dependC on our misery, misery
GIts the truth about us...
