Dbm It's in the grain of the wood It's in the needle's rust
Cb It's in the eagle's claw
Dbm It's in the eyes you trust It's in the jackal's dreams It's in the sleet and the hail
Cb It's in the unmarked box
Dbm That came today in the mail It's in the dead man's pocket It's in the child's first sin
Cb It's in the Constitution
Dbm Written in very small print It's in Colin Powell's lies It's in the shaman's trance
Cb It's in the cellar waiting
Dbm And it's in the best laid plans
Cb We could cut and run
Dbm And take half the blame
Cb \ Don't stop now
Gb | Chorus That's why we came
Continues after the ad
(whispered with no guitar) / House gone up in flames (main riff)
Dbm It's in the National Anthem It's in the scurrying roach
Cb It's in the closed partition
Dbm 'Tween first class and coach It's in the relentless fever It's in the lonely room
Cb It's in the hands of fate
Dbm And it's in the pharaoh's tomb It's in the rich man's dreams It's in the poor man's hands
Cb It's in the body bags
Dbm Along the Rio Grande It's in the evening shade It's on the zealot's tongue
Cb It's in the widow's tears
Dbm And it's in the miner's lungs (same as before, only the final line is said with fire) We could cut and run And take half the blame Don't stop now That's why we came House gone up in flames (Main Riff) Bridge
Dbm It's in the moon's dark spin It's in the cloudless sky
Cb It was in St. Peter's denial
Dbm That he'd thrice deny It's in the distant thunder It's in the whispered prayer
Cb That they won't find us hidden here
Dbm Beneath the stairs So consider yourself lucky And watch what you say
Cb I got what I wanted
Dbm You might get the samea It's in the bold print nailed To the cathedral door
Cbm It's in the black cold pressure
Db On the ocean floor (same Chords as before) We could cut and run And take half the blame Don't stop now That's why we came House gone up in flames Main Riff Good luck with this song and i hope you enjoy playing it, whether its in your basement yourself or a room full of people.
