first off, here is the chord fingering 

CAPO ON 2ND FRET (which is fret 0 in this tab) 

  D    Dsus4   G    Bm    A    Asus4 
e 3----4-------3----2-----0----0------------------------ 
B 2----2-------3----3-----2----3------------------------ 
G 3----3-------0----4-----2----2------------------------ 
D 0----0-------0----4-----2----2------------------------ 
A 0----0-------2----2-----0----0------------------------ 
E x----x-------3----2-----0----0------------------------ 

This can be played without a capo. It'll just be in a key 
different than what Jay sings it.  If you are using a capo, 
shape chords as though the capo is the nut. 

The Dsus4 and Asus4 chords are reached by hammering your little 
finger to the 3rd fret on the 1st string from D to Dsus4 and 
your ring finger to the 3rd fret on the 2nd string from A to 
Asus4 

Someone please double-check me on the lyrics, especially the 
"weatherman..." line. 

Intro: 
D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4 


Dsus4  D 
It's a long way to Heaven 

G              D 
A short way to Hell 

     Bm 
Pain killers won't help 

     A                    Asus4 
In a way it's not yourself 

        D 
They're poisoning the air 

    G        D      Dsus4 
For personal wealth 

       Bm 
It's a long way to Heaven 

      A            G 
And a short way to Hell. 



        D 
I don't know 

         A         Bm 
What I'm breathin' for 

          G           D             A           Asus4 
'Cause the air around here ain't so good anymore 

    D 
The weatherman says fair 

   G            D 
He looks like a lie 

         Bm 
Nothin's free in this country 

             A           G 
When there's no place to hide. 



D    Bm    D    Bm    D    Bm    D    Bm    D    Dsus4    D 



D                 Dsus4 
An industrial wind 

   G              D     Dsus4 
It blows from the West 

      Bm 
It'll burn-out your eyes 

    A 
And suck-out your breath 

     D                 Dsus4 
It's waitin' in the wings 

    G               D 
The damage down the line 

          Bm 
Save your tears for the soaps 

           A     G 
Leave your money behind 


        D 
I don't know 

         A         Bm 
What I'm breathin' for 

          G           D             A           Asus4 
'Cause the air around here ain't so good anymore 

    D 
The weatherman says fair 

   G            D 
He looks like a lie 

         Bm 
Nothin's free in this country 

             A           G 
When there's no place to hide. 


No more 


D    Bm    D    Bm    D    Bm    D    Bm    D    Dsus4    D 


Place to hide anymore.
