The chords for this song are really divided into three main parts, with
some little variations.
..and of course, an overdriven channel.
Verse Chords:
These are played in a very fast strumming pattern, just copy
off the album as well as you can..
e|--10-10-10-10-10---9--9--9--9--9----7--7--7--7--7---9--9--9--9--9----

a|--10---------------9----------------7---------------9--9--9--9--9----
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------
You play that a few times, then play the same thing with a small variation..
e|--10-10-10-10-10---9--9--9--9--9----8--8--8--8--8----8--8--8--8--8-----
b|--10-10-10-10-10---9--9--9--9--9----8--8--8--8--8----8--8--8--8--8-----

Now comes the chorus, with some really cool lyrics, as well. :-)

E|----0---0------10---10------8----8----8----8------10---10---10------
"alone to watch it burn... Kerosene..."
Now after doing that stuff a few times, (just follow the album) you
will come across the "solo" section of the song, with a bridge of sorts
followed by a guitar solo. You play the intro to the chorus just as
you would if a normal chorus was to come about, but then you play
this riff. These are the chords...
e|----8----8----8----8------7---7------5---5------3---3---3---3------
b|----8----8----8----8------7---7------5---5------3---3---3---3------
g|----8----8----8----8------7---7------5---5------3---3---3---3------

a|----10---10---10---10-----9---9------7---7------5---5---5---5------
E|----8----8----8----8------7---7------5---5------3---3---3---3------

E|----0---0-----10---10-----8----8----8----8------10---10---10---10--
You just have to piece it together and play the certain parts when they
come around in the song. -Dave

(etc.)
I feel sorry for the earth's population
'cuz so few live in the U.S.A
at least the foreigners can copy our morality,
they can visit but they cannot stay,
only precious few
can garner our prosperity,
it makes us walk
with renewed confidence,
we've got a place to go when we die
and the architecht resides right here
we've got the american jesus
postering the ...(?)...
we've got the american jesus
overwhelming millions every day
he's the farmer barren fields,
the force the army wields,
the expression in the faces
of the starving millions,
the power of the man.
he's the fuel that drives the clan,
he's the motive and the conscience
of the murderer
he's the preacher on TV,
the false sincerity,
the form letter that's written by
the big computers,
he's the nuclear bombs,
and the kids with no moms
and I'm fearful that
he's inside me
we've got the american jesus...

(continue w/ lyrics)
Another time, another man
An oppressive intrusion and a plague across his land
And it haunts him every day
It tells him that he has no chance, his options fade away
And he lives his life prepared to tear it down
But he can't muster the support
And to him it's just a stereotype of his life-long fight
The portrait of authority (portrait of authority)
It embodies what he cannot be (portrait of authority)
It's what he cannot be

But now it's time to watch it die
(continue w/ lyrics)
I saw a man on the big blue screen, he ruled the world economy
He said the rich would never concede, but someday soon you'll be put to sleep
I've seen the life of a forest green and the adaptations of the deep blue sea
And who knows who is the fittest, they will all soon be put to rest

On a plunging flight and we're sitting in the pilot's seat

In the midst of life, people on a dark horizon praying somebody will save their lives

I was born on planet earth at a drastic time full of plastic mirth
And everyday I've seen increasing signs and you would too if you'd open your eyes
You had a chance, you did not try, so now it's time to watch it die
Now it's time to watch it die!
