Intro x 3
Em C C C
Em D B B
(that's three strums on the C and then one strum on the D and two strums on B)

(VERSE)
Em C Em
G   F#  Em            C       Em
And did those feet in ancient times
G    F# Em  D     B           Em     
Trod on America's pastures of green?
G   F#  Em           C       Em
And did that anthropocentric god wane
G    F# Em D            B           Em     
With their thoughts and beliefs all unseen?

(CHORUS)
G F#    D         Dsus4 
I don't think so,
D                                   Em         C Em
He's up there with the others lying low
G F#  D     Dsus4 
Vying with those 
B
who you've traded your life to bless your soul.

(VERSE)
Em C Em
G   F#   Em        C          Em
And have they told you how to think
G        F#   Em      D          B     Em     
Cleansed your mind of sepsis and autonomy?
G  F#   Em          C       Em
Or have you escaped scrutiny
G    F# Em  D             B         Em     
And regaled yourself with depravity?

(CHORUS)
G   F# D     Dsus4 
Now we all see 
D                                Em         C     Em
Religion is just synthetic frippery
G F#    D  Dsus4 
Unnecessary
B                               G  F#  Em
In our expanding global cultural efficiency.

(SOLO - the chords are the same as for the verse)

(CHORUS)
G   F#    D     Dsus4 
And don't you fear 
D                                 Em         C     Em
this impasse we have built to our future?
G    F# D     Dsus4
Ever so near, 
B       
And oh so austere.

(OUTRO) (same as the intro)
Em C C C
Em D B B
