Intro: Verse 1: Where have all the bastards gone? The underbelly's stacks up ten high The dummy failed the crash test Collecting unemployment checks A flunky only along for the ride Where have all the riots gone? As your city's motto gets pulverized What's in love is now in debt On your birth certificate So strike the fucking match to light this fuse (repeat 3x) Pre-Chorus: The town bishop's an extortionist And he don't don't even know that you exist Standing still when it's do or die You better run for your fuck - ing life It's not over 'till you're underground It's not hope before it's too late It's cities burnin' It's not my burden It's not over before it's too late (no chords) There's nothing left to analyze Solo: (Taken and slightly changed from "Letterbomb" tab by reizig {[email protected]}) e|-----------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------| G|-9999999999999999-9999999999999999-| D|-----------------------------------| A|-7777777777777777-7777777777777777-| E|-----------------------------------| Guitar 1: e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-9999999999999999--8888888888888888-999888-4x666-888-9998889999-----------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-7777777777777777--6666666666666666-777666-2x444-666-7776667777-----------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | | |Guitar 2: | | | E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------9-----9---9------9-----9---9------9-----9---9-----10-----10---10-9--| G|--9-9---9-9---9----8-8---8-8---8----9-9---9-9---9---9-9----9-9----9-------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Where will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself?
