G                   C                G
Pack em up Charlie, gonna leave this place
G                         D     G
Turn our shoulders to the empty space
G                         C    G
It don't matter if you're gone today
G                 D    G
Long as everybody stay away

[Verse 2]
G                C       G
Rich is rich and poor is poor
G                            D       G
And the money you have ain't good no more
G               C         G
Wait in a line, wait in a line
G                 D            G
Hey mister, can I buy a little time?

[Chorus]
D                         Am      C
Everything you planted is gone to rot
G
No one around, to pull the little you got
D                Am       C
Four big wheels, American steel
G
Pourin' gasoline on the killing field

[Verse 3]
G                   C         G
March them soldiers down that line
G                  D        G
March them boys in straight time
G                  C           G
Put more boys like fuel on the fire
G                       D   G
Bad news comin down the AP  wire

[Verse 4]
G                 C       G
Taciturn til your fingers burn
G                  D       G
What, if anything, did you earn?
G                   C   G
Ain't it taste that can satisfy
G                     D          G
The blood lust of the youth gone wild

[Chorus]
D                         Am      C
Everything you planted is gone to rot
G
No one around, to pull the little you got
D                Am       C
Four big wheels, American steel
G
Pourin' gasoline on the killing field

[Bridge]
(Palm Mute)
G                           C           G
Everybody's sick, there's a fever going round
G                        D           G
Set it on fire, burn the whole thing down
G             C           G
Go somewhere, start a new town
G                             D        G
Where nobody has to hear that terrible sound

[Chorus]
D                         Am      C
Everything you planted is gone to rot
G
No one around, to pull the little you got
D                Am       C
Four big wheels, American steel
G
Pourin' gasoline on the killing field
G
Pourin' gasoline on the killing field
G
Pourin' gasoline on
