[D]Super
[A]man was [Bsus4]killed in Dalla[A]s

[Bsus4]in the palac[F#m]e[A]
[D]Someone too[A]k the[Bsus4]
[B]Bea[D]tle's lead gui[C]tar[D][A]
[D]Have another Chivas Regal
You're twelve years old and sex is legal
Your parents don't know where
[Bm]or who y[D]ou are[C][D]
[G]Used to be the hero of the[D] bal[G]lgame
Took the time to shake the
[D]loser's [G]hand
Used to be that failure only [F#]meant
you didn't [Bm]try[A][G]
In a world where people
[Asus4]gave a da[A]mn
[Asus4]Great big[A] wa[D]rs
in little [Bm]places[D][A][D]
Look at all those frightened [Bm]faces[D]
But don't come here
We [Bm]just don't [A]have [D]the room
Love thy neighbor's wife
[Bm]and daughter[D]
Cleanse your life with holy [Bm]wa ter
[D]You don't need to bathe,
we've got perfume
[C]Use[Dsus4]d to be a[D][G]
knight in shining [D]armor[G]
Didn't have to own a shiny [D]car[G]
Dignity and courage were the
[F#]measure of a [Bm]man[A][G]
Not the drugs he [Asus4]need
s to hide the [B]scar,
Oh [Em]woh woh woh oh [B]wo h[Em]
[B]Can [G#m]your teacher read?
Does your preacher pray?
Does [D#m]your president have soul?
Have you [E]heard a real good ethnic
joke [D#m]today?[D#sus4][Eb]
Mama [Abm]took her speed
and daddy ran away
But you [Ebm]musn't lose control,
Let's cut [E]the class,
I got some grass
[F#sus4]The kids are wild we just can't tame 'em
[G]Do we have the right to blame them?
[C]Fed them all[G] our indec[Asus4]ision s[G]
We [C]wrecked their [G]mind
[C]s with t[A]elevis[G]ion
[C]But what the[G] hell,
they're [Am]too young [G]to feel [Csus4]pain[C]
[F]But I believe that love can
save [C]to [F]morrow
Believe the truth can make [C]us free
[F]Someone tried to say it,
then we [E]nailed Him to a [Am]Cross[G][C]
[F]I guess it's still the way
[Gsus4]it used to be[G]
