Lyrics

[Intro]
| D# - - C# | D# - - C# | D# - - C# | D# - - C# |
| D# - - C# | D# - - C# | D# - - C# | D# - - C# |
| D# - - C# | D# - - C# | D# - - C# | D# - - C# |

[Verse 1]
D#                   C#
  In the howlin' wind
D#                     C#
  Comes a stingin' rain
D#
  See it drivin' nails
C#            D#                   C#
Into the souls  on the tree of pain
D#                C#
  From the firefly
D#                 C#
  A red orange glow
D#
  See the face of fear
C#      D#                        C#
Runnin' scared in the valley below

[Chorus]
D# C# D#
C#             D#
Bullet the blue  sky
C#             D#
Bullet the blue  sky
C#             D#
Bullet the blue
C#             D# C# D# C#
Bullet the blue

[Verse 2]
D#                  C#
  In the locust wind
D#                      C#
  Comes a rattle and hum
D#                        Db
  Jacob wrestled the angel
          D#              Db
And the angel was overcome
D#                      Db
  You plant a demon seed
D#                          Db
  You raise a flower of fire
D#                           Db
  We see them burnin' crosses
        D#                       Db
See the flames, higher and higher

[Chorus]
D# Db D#
Db             D#
Bullet the blue  sky
Db             D#
Bullet the blue  sky
Db             D#
Bullet the blue
Db             D# Db
Bullet the blue
D# D# Db D# Db

[Verse 3]
D#
  Suit and tie comes up to me
    Db       D#                                  Db
His face red like a rose on a thorn bush Like all
      D#
the colours of a royal flush
         Db                D#
And he's peelin' off those dollar bills Slappin' 'em down
Db
D#                      Db
One hundred, two hundred
D#                                  Db
  And I can see those fighter planes
D#                                  Db
  And I can see those fighter planes
D#                                     Db
  Across the mud huts as children sleep
D#                                         Db
  Through the alleys of a quiet city street
D#                                         Db
  And take the staircase to the first floor
D#                                       Db
  Turn the key and slowly unlock the door
D#                                    Db
  As a man breathes into his saxophone
D#                                             Db
  And through the walls you hear the city groan
D#                     Db
  Outside, it's America
D#                     Db
  Outside, it's America
D#       Db
  America

D#                    Db
  See across the field
           D#                        Db
See the sky  ripped open See the rain
       D#                      Db
comin' through the gapin' wound
            D#
Pelting the women and children
    Db D#
Who run  into the arms
Of America
