2.What are you gonna do now 
  Now that it's spoken 
  These words have a habit of not fading away 
  Our memory's clear 
  Conscience gets opened like a wound 
  If you can't concieve of better lines and better times 
  Then let silence bury you 
  In the end 
  You will be condemned 
 
Rant: You see the Boston strangler on the freedom road you think the 
  suffragettes got sunk a long long time ago you spewed it out your 
  spite was insecure it was like bile from the height on the toilet 
  floor you were a nazi drunk you had the rednecks roaring for blood 
  and then they wanted more your life was so small you couldn't get 
  enough you made a start 
 
 
 
Most chords are actually played as power chords (ie no 3rd played), but 
 I've put them as major and minor chords as best I can.
