THE BALLAD OF SQUEAKY FROMME (Amy Ray) --------------------------------------
The whole song is pretty much Am C G D, with some variations, mostly by taking your middle finger off and on various strings. ("Random 9's," I call it.) I think the intro is something like this:
AmAm(4) CC(9)GG(9)DD(9) E 0-----0-0-0-0-0-|0-----0---0-0-0-|3-----3-3-3-2---|------2-2-0-0-0-| B 1-----1-1-1-1-1-|1-----1---1-1-1-|0-----0-0-0-3---|------3-3-3-3-3-| G 2-----2-2-2-2-2-|0-----0---0-0-0-|0-----0-0-0-2---|------2-2-2-2-2-| D 2-----2-0-0-0-0-|2-----2---2-0-0-|0-----0-0-0-0---|----------0-0-0-| A 0-----0-0-0-0-0-|3-----3---3-3-3-|2-----2-0-0-0---|----------0-0-0-| E ----------------|3-----3---3-3-3-|3-----3-3-3-----|----------------| ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .
And something close to that goes through the whole song, except the D usually falls more on the downbeat...
AmCGD [intro]
AmCGD We're scared as hell 'cause Squeaky's out of jail AmCGD I can feel her close behind me like the devil on my heels AmCGD They say she's heading to California or maybe for DC AmCGD But I'm sittin' here down in Georgia arguing with my family AmGCD
The contras called a truce, but they broke it in an hour Now someone sittin' in the Tower of Babel is givin' them their power Well they stopped the war in Bethlehem just to let sweet Jesus pass Oh but how much does it really mean if they screw him over behind his back?
I can feel her closin' in, and I hope she understands That society and me, now we aren't necessarily hand in hand She's broken all her bonds, got no superficial cause You know she gave up all her chances to live inside the law
Now Squeaky, peace on earth - will you tell me what it's worth? From the inside out I'd let you in; you might understand Well now Squeaky, in your mixed-up mind, you may not be so blind From the inside out I'd let you in, you might understand
AmCGD That God is in my heart, but the Devil's in our bones AmCGDAmCGD And Squeaky, you are not alone, yeah, you are not alone AmCG6D(9) Gimme peace on earth, peace on earth, peace on earth, peace on earth AmCG6D(9) Squeaky, gimme peace on earth, peace on earth, peace on earth AmCG6D(9) peace on earth, peace on earth, peace on earth, peace on earth AmCG Now Squeaky, gimme peace on earth, and then you tell me what it's worth (n.c.) From the inside out I would let you in, I think that you might understand (n.c.) That a god is in my heart, but the devil, I said the devil's in our bones AmCG And Squeaky, you are not alone
