I couldn't figure out how to play this without writing it out first, so I
figured I might just as well share it. I didn't really check this over very
carefully, so let me know if you think there are mistakes.

   C                           G
   Landing in Manhattan with a suitcase and a name
         G7                                    C
   I was pushed off Ellis Island and they were branded just the same
           Am                        Fm7         Fm       C
   Now the Industry is waiting for a swift and deliberate change


Dm        Fm           C
   With a note of introduction, 
Dm           Fm            C
   two great men of high esteem
Dm        Fm           C
   One is busy with production
Dm           Fm               C
   The other trapped inside a dream

   C                                 G
   Swimming up that stream of people earning their commute
         G7                          C
   I was almost swept away under the wave of tailored suits
            Am                
   Standing in the wizard's waiting room
   Fm7         Fm          C
   Awaiting in his waiting room


Dm            Fm            C
   A young machinist in the empire
Dm         Fm           C
   With a letter in his hand
Dm         Fm              C
   An opportunist with the invite
Dm         Fm             C
   Another pitfall in the sand
   Dm             Fm                   
  (Ah da da da da da da da da da da)


C C7 Gm Gmadd9 Gm Gm7 C7 Gm 
(Just play around with C and G minor chords as you see fit)

G                   G7
   If it's war they want
                            C
   We can bring it to their door
G                            G7
   And if it's blood they want
                          C
   Then they can have it all!
