Tuning:
-------

In Joni notation: A 12 4 3 5 7

Note names (low to high) : AAC#EAE

(Another new tuning for Joni!)

On the verses, it sounds like Joni mutes the 2nd string on the 5554x0 chord, but it
doesn't matter too much if you play this string as well.

Verse 2:
--------

Freddie said that "Juan thinks, I think
He's the devil"
What a lofty title
For such a petty little tyrant
Bigger beasts abound
And they kick this world around
At this crazy speed
With violence and greed


Chorus:
-------

Tireskids and teethmarks
What happened to this place?
Lawyers and loan sharks
Are laying America to waste


Verse 3:
--------

So what makes a man a man
In these tough times?
As druglords buy up the banks
And warlords radiate the oceans
Ecosystems fail
Snakes and snails and puppy tails
Are wagging in the wound
Beneath the trampled moon


Chorus:
-------

Tireskids and teethmarks
What happened to this place?
Lawyers and loan sharks
Are laying America to waste
