D# C# D# C#

D#                C# D#                  C#
In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
D#                C# D#                  C#
See it driving nails Into the souls on the tree of pain
D#            C# D#                  C#
From the firefly, a red orange glow
D#                C# D#                  C#
See the face of fear Running scared in the valley below

D# C# D# C#

Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue

D#                 C# D#                  C#
In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
D#                     C# D#                  C#
Jacob wrestled the angel And the angel was overcome
D#                     C# D#                  C#
You plant a demon seed You raise a flower of fire
D#                      C# D#                  C#
See them burning crosses See the flames higher and higher

D# C# D# C#

Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue

D#m                      C# D#m                  C#
This guy comes up to me His face red like a rose in a thorn bush
D#m                                  C# D#m                 C#
Like all the colors of a royal flush and he's peeling off those dollar bills
D#m                F# D#m       F#
Slapping them down One hundred, two hundred
D#m                               C#
And I can see those fighter planes
D#m                               C#
And I can see those fighter planes

D#m                                       C# D#m                  C#
Across the mud huts where the children sleep Through the alleys of a quiet city street
D#m                                       C# D#m                  C#
You take the staircase to the first floor Turn the key and slowly unlock the door
D#m                             C# D#m
As a man breathes into a saxophone And through the walls you hear the city groan
F#               D#m
Outside is America
F#               D#m
Outside is America, America

F# D#m F# D#m C# D#m C#
D#m C# D#m C# D#m C# D#m C#

D#m
Across the field you see the sky ripped open
See the rain through a gaping wound
Pounding on the women and children
Who run Into the arms Of America
