Am         A#
Hey, let's jump around
Am         A#                F        E
To the renegade sound of the paranoid style
Am         A#
Hey, get upside down
Am         A#                F        E
To the American sound of the paranoid style


[Verse 1]
Am
Everybody, have you heard the news? The old dance with wicked moves
C
It's been around for many a year, so polish up your granddad's gear
F
And shake, shake, shake with fear, waive your rights like you just don't care
E
Anyone can do it, it's easy if you dare


[Pre-Chorus]
Am
It's the paranoid style in American politics
C
Casey Jones, you better watch your apocalypse
F
Illumination and fluoridation
E
Are communist plots against the population


[Chorus]
Am         A#
Hey, let's jump around
Am         A#                F        E
To the renegade sound of the paranoid style
Am         A#
Hey, get upside down
Am         A#                F        E
To the American sound of the paranoid style


[Verse 2]
Am
Hey, kids on the right and left, do you feel dispossessed?
C
If you're on the left or right, I feel your pain tonight
F
So shake off reality, it's easy as you please
E
Soon everyone is dancing conspiratorially


[Pre-Chorus]
Am
It's the paranoid style in American politics
C
Casey Jones, you better watch your apocalypse
F
All kinds of wild interpretation
E
Are open to the paranoid imagination, shamone


[Guitar solo]


[Chorus]
Am         A#
Hey, let's jump around
Am         A#                F        E
To the renegade sound of the paranoid style
Am         A#
Hey, get upside down
Am         A#                F        E
To the American sound of the paranoid style
