F G Am C  X6

[Verse 1]
F     G                Am  The white dog of the farm still breeds
       CShe's off her leash
        FTo tear flesh and teach
G        Am    C  F  Bum bum bum

[Verse 2]
    G                     AmYou think you've heard it all before
      CWell, here's once more
      FWe're all at war
G         Am    C  F  Bum bum bum

[Verse 3]
       G                   AmBlood in the streets, our eternal river
  CI know the killer
    FHe counts my silver
G         Am   C  F   Bum bum bum

[Verse 4]
     G               AmThey ambushed them behind the reeds
      CThese are our seeds
      FWhite dog still breeds
G         Am   C  F  Bum bum bum

[Bridge 1]

G Am C  F  G  Am  C

G7  They say, “Buy when there's blood in the streets
G7Even if the blood is your own”
           G7So they employed men far away
   G7To turn against their home
Bb   Centuries in the distant mist
Am              D    Dsus2 Dm D F But it's not a dream

[Verse 5]
       G                    AmNo, it ain't no dream, it's all too real
    C How long until
              FThis river of blood congeals?
G        Am   C  F Bum bum bum

[Verse 6]
    G               AmAnd eulogies poured from the stage
    CBut nothing changed
    FThe dog was caged
G        Am      C  F Bum bum bum

[Verse 7]                      
    G                              AmAnd white bread artists won't even look at you
          CWhen they know it's true
          FWhat you gonna do?
G         Am   C F   Bum bum bum

[Bridge 2]
G7Thought I heard some woman screaming
      G7And I sat up in my bed
      G7And I went over to the window
      G7And I saw him in the cold street, lying dead
Bb   Oh, please tell me, you academics
Am                           D         Dsus2   Dm Dsus4 F   How do you wake up from a non-dream?

[Verse 8]
       G                    AmNo, it ain't no dream, it’s all too real
    CHow long until
              FThis river of blood congeals?
G         Am    C F   Bum bum bum

[Verse 9]
       G            AmSent a letter to my congressman
     C The Ku Klux Klan
        FFrom my pierced hands
G         Am     C  F  Bum bum bum

[Verse 10]
     G               AmThey sent me back an Apple phone
  CA fine-hair comb
    FAnd a bell tolled
G         Am   C  F  Bum bum bum

[Verse 11]
    G                       AmThe phone rang once and the line went dead
    CAll blood runs red
      FWhite pups still bred
G         Am    C   F   G  Bum bum bum
