[Intro]
Em

[Verse]
               Em    D               C        B     Em D C B
Well it's high noon at the U.K. corral
              Em    D              C         B                 Em
And it's high time I got myself back on the rails
              A              D                                   F E
I'm the lonesome cowboy, ridin across the range
                   A               D                       F E
With just a hand held radio--to keep me sane
A                           D                                     F E
Ridin through the f.m. stations, the tumbleweed

And the petrol stations
        A                           D
Will all on board this Yankee station
                    F E
Prepare themselves for battle stations--

[Chorus]
G      C            F         C
Jesus Wept. Jesus Christ
   G                         C                          F                          C
I can't see for the tear gas, and the dollar signs in my eyes
                       G                        C
Well, what's a man got left to fight for
                  F                  C
When he's bought his freedom
            G                              C
By the look of this human jungle
                        F                          C
It ain't just the poor who'll be bleeding!

[Instrumental]
Em

[Verse]
                Em               D      C                                      B
Most everyone round here thinks they're something special
         Em   D          C B
That destiny will be kind--
                      Em               D       C              B
While they're digging for gold, diving for pearls
         Em              D                     C               B
And aiming for heaven from this man made world

A               D                       F E
Come on down--the devil's in town
                             A         D
He's brought you sticks and stones
                        F E
To bust your neighbors bones
                         A                          D
He's stuck his missiles in your gardens
                 F E
And his theories down your throat--
         A                                            D
And God knows what your gonna do with him
           F E
Cos I certainly don't

[Chorus]
G       C          F         C
Jesus Wept. Jesus Christ
   G                         C                         F                           C
I can't see for the tear gas, and the dollar signs in my eyes
                       G                        C
Well, what's a man got left to fight for
                  F                  C
When he's bought his freedom
           G                               C
By the look of this human jungle
                         F                        C
It ain't just the poor who'll be bleeding!

[Bridge]
F#m                              D
Down by the river, I've been washing out my mouth
        F#m
Cos deep in the heart of me
                 D
There's a frightened man breaking out
         F#m
Oh I was just looking for paradise
      D
Anywhere in this world
                       F#m
While they're gunning for heaven--
                 D
From this man made hell!!!
