How I do the intro: I'm positive it's wrong, but it sounds good enough for me.
for the low note, I just strum the A, D, and G string open and then go to Am for
the main note in the intro. When it hits the high point, I hit C. Find the strum
pattern yourself, I guess... This actually may not sound like Tom Morello's
version, but I'd rather play a song that uses more than 2 chords in the verse, so
I just added a couple more chords for those who can't quite sing like Tom Morello
Am
It's in the grain of the wood
C
It's in the needle's rust
Dm
It's in the eagle's claw
Am
It's in the eyes you trust
Am
It's in the jackal's dreams
C
It's in the sleet and the hail
Dm
It's in the unmarked box
Am
That came today in the mail
Am
It's in the dead man's pocket
C
It's in the child's first sin
Dm
It's in the Constitution
Am
Written in very small print
Am
It's in Colin Powell's lies
C
It's in the shaman's trance
Dm
It's in the cellar waiting
Am
And it's in the best laid plans
Chorus
F C
We could cut and run
Dm Am
And take half the blame
F C
Don't stop now
G
That's why we came
House gone up in flames
*Intro*
Am
It's in the National Anthem
C
It's in the scurrying roach
Dm
It's in the closed partition
Am
'Tween first class and coach
Am
It's in the relentless fever
C
It's in the lonely room
Dm
It's in the hands of fate
Am
And it's in the pharaoh's tomb
Am
It's in the rich man's dreams
C
It's in the poor man's hands
Dm
It's in the body bags
Am
Along the Rio Grande
Am
It's in the evening shade
C
It's on the zealot's tongue
Dm
It's in the widow's tears
Am
And it's in the miner's lungs
F C
We could cut and run
Dm Am
And take half the blame
F C
Don't stop now
G
That's why we came
House gone up in flames
*Intro*
Am
It's in the moon's dark spin
C
It's in the cloudless sky
Dm
It was in St. Peter's denial
Am
That he'd thrice deny
Am
It's in the distant thunder
C
It's in the whispered prayer
Dm
That they won't find us hidden here
Am
Beneath the stairs
Am
So consider yourself lucky
C
And watch what you say
Dm
I got what I wanted
Am
You might get the same
Am
It's in the bold print nailed
C
To the cathedral door
Dm
It's in the black cold pressure
Am
On the ocean floor
F C
We could cut and run
Dm Am
And take half the blame
F C
Don't stop now
G
That's why we came
House gone up in flames
*Intro*
