C5                          G5
There's a trouble in the air
      F5                       C5
A rumble in the streets
      C5                 G5
A going out of business sale

And a race to bankruptcy
C                       G          F5      C
It's not one to 99, it's 99 to one

A common cause and a call to arms

For the health of our daughters and our sons

There's a rat in the company
     F5                    C5
A bill on easy street
C5                                    G5
How the fuck did the working stiff
F5                 G5
Become so obsolete?
   C                            G
Hit the lights and bang the drum
         F5                       C
And let your flag unfold
C                                  G

In the halls of justice and lost souls

From the ghettos to an empty suburban home

We live in troubled times
                                                     G5

How to read these chord schemes

1 - chord name, 2 - chord designation, 3 - chord scheme

Chord name

There is the name of a chord before the symbols. If it's "*" added to a name, it means that this chord is played in different positions during the song.

Chord designation

There are 6 symbols in a designation, read it from left to right. The first symbol defines the thickest string (6th string), the second symbol defines 5th string and so on.

"0" means open string

"x" means this string isnt played

"Number" means number of a fret.

Example:

x02220

6th string isnt played
5th string is open
4th string is played on 2nd fret
3rd string is played on 2nd fret
2nd string is played on 2nd fret
1st string is open

Chord scheme

Imagine that you are looking at the fret while playing guitar - the closest string to your eyes is the 6th, the thickest string. There are 6 horizontal lines defines strings, the upper one is the thinnest string (1st string).
And there are 4 lines defined frets - no exact frets numbers defined.
In some schemes there is a thick line on the left - it defines the nut.

"0" means open string
"x" means this string isnt played
Fat dots mean fingers positions

Example:

G5 355xxx
