This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

PM *********

Where they lead you will follow

Well I guess that's just the way it goes

(with some triplets, all palm muted)

E A D G

F5 G5 Ab5 C5 Eb5 Bb5 F5 D5/A (5-5-7-7

And if you look away you'll be doin what they say

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

And if you look alive you'll be singled out and tried

F5 G5 Ab5 Eb5 F5

If you take home anything let it be your will to think

F5 G5 Ab5 C5 Eb5 Bb5 F5

the more cynical you become the better off YOU'll be
