SEVEN NATION ARMY

          C             C Eb C Bb Ab G
I'm gonna fight 'em off,
G              C          C Eb C Bb Ab    G
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back.
G            C          C Eb C Bb Ab G
Their gonna rip it off,
G            C    C   Eb C  Bb  Ab         G
Taking their time right behind my back.
C Eb C Bb Ab G
And I'm talking to myself at night
                    C Eb C Bb Ab G
Because I can't forget.
C    Eb   C   Bb  Ab    G
Back and forth through my mind,
                  C Eb C Bb Ab G
behind a cigarette. 

(Pre/Post - Chorus:)
Eb                               F
And the message comming from my eyes, says leave it alone.

Eb     F

(Verse 2:)
G             C Eb C Bb Ab G
Don't want to hear about it,
G             C  Eb  C  Bb  Ab             G           
Every single ones got a story to tell.
G           C C Eb C Bb Ab G
Everyone knows about it,
G                 C   C  Eb  C  Bb  Ab        G
From the queen of England to the hounds of hell.

And if I catch you comming back my way,
Ab              G              C C Eb C Bb Ab G
I'm going to serve it to you.

And that ain't what you want to hear,

And the feeling coming from my bones, says find a home.

C                  C Eb C Bb Ab G
I'm going to Witchita,
G          C    Eb   C   Bb   Ab       G
Far from this opera and for ever more.
G             C           C Eb C Bb Ab G
I'm going to work the straw,

Make the sweat drip out of every pour.
G             C        C     Eb     C       
And I'm bleedin', and I'm bleedin',
C      Bb     Ab          G              C C Eb C Bb Ab G
And I'm bleeding right before the lord.

And I will think no more.

And the stains comming from my blood, says go back home.
