Sam Fender - Hypersonic Missiles

      You'll need to tune all the strings on your guitar down a step and a half to play this song.

This song switches strumming style back and forth between palm muted strums,rapid down strums and
big open strums.

The chords are quite simple (your third finger stays on the third fret of the second string the whole song)
and are based off his live performances of this song. Listen to: https://youtu.be/IlqOREk35AE to get a better
idea of the timing for the strumming and when each strumming type (palm muted etc.) is used.

During open strumming, try picking out the bass notes of chords and adding bass walkups and walkdowns in the
choruses, outro and instrumental sections to add some interest.

[Verse 1]
G
  Dutch kids huff balloons in the parking lot

The golden arches illuminate the business park
A7sus2
     I eat myself to death, feed the corporate machine

I watch the movies, recite every line and scene
Cmaj7sus2
     God bless America and all of its allies
A7sus2                                               G
     I'm not the first to live with wool over my eyes


[Verse 2]
G
  I am so blissfully unaware of everything

Kids in Gaza are bombed, and I'm just out of it
A7sus2
    The tensions of the world are rising higher

We're probably due another war with all this ire
Cmaj7sus2
     I'm not smart enough to change a thing
        A7sus2                                        G G Gadd9 G*
I've no answers, only questions, don't you ask a thing


[Chorus]
        Cmaj7sus2               A7sus2         Cmaj7sus2  G
Oh, the silver-tongue suits and cartoons, they rule my    world
D6sus4       A7sus2          Cmaj7sus2           G D6sus4
Saying it's a  high time for hypersonic missiles
             Cmaj7sus2
But when the bombs drop, darling
    A7sus2              Cmaj7sus2        G
Can you say that you've lived your life?
D6sus4       A7sus2          Cmaj7sus2           G D6sus4
Oh, this is a  high time for hypersonic missiles


[Verse 3]
G
The cities lie like tumours all across the world

A cancer eating mankind, hitting it on blindside
A7sus2
They say I'm a nihilist 'cause I can't see

Any decent rhyme or reason for the life of you and me
         Cmaj7sus2
But I believe in what I'm feeling, and I'm falling for you
         A7sus2                                                  G      G Gadd9 G*
This world is gonna end, but 'til then, I'll give you everything I have
                         Cmaj7sus2  A7sus2 Cmaj7sus2 G D6sus4
I'll give you everything I        have

[Instrumental]

D6sus4       A7sus2          Cmaj7sus2           G D6sus4
Saying it's a  high time for hypersonic missiles
         Cmaj7sus2

Can you say that you've lived your life?

Oh, this is a  high time for hypersonic missiles


[Outro]
G*           Cmaj7sus2              A7sus2        Cmaj7sus2
Then you'll do the same, only the names change, honey
        G                                   D6sus4
You can join their club if you're born into money
      A7sus2          Cmaj7sus2            G Gadd9 G*
It's a  high time for hypersonic missiles
                  A7sus2          Cmaj7sus2            G Gadd9 G*
And, oh, this is a  high time for hypersonic missiles
                  A7sus2          Cmaj7sus2            G Gadd9 G*
And, oh, this is a  high time for hypersonic missiles
             A7sus2          Cmaj7sus2            G
Oh, this is a  high time for hypersonic missiles
