Intro is just [E] [F#7] [A] [E]

[E]Soldiers come [F#7]quickly, I feel the [A]earth beneath my [E]feet.
[E]I'm feeling b[F#7]adly, it's not an at-[A]tempt at decen[E]cy.
[E]And if you're well[F#7] off, well then I'm h[A]appy some for [E]you.
[E]But I'd rather not [F#7]celebrate my de-[A]feat and humili-[C#m]ation h[B7]ere with
[E]you. [F#7] [A] [E]

[E]Someone come q[F#7]uickly, this place was [A]built for moving [E]out.
[E]Leave behind b[F#7]uildings, the city p[A]lanners got mapped [E]out.
[E]Bring with you [F#7]history, and [A]make your hard earned [E]feast.
[E]Then we'll go to [F#7]Omaha to [A]work and exploit the [C#m]booming mu[B7]sic
[A]scene and hum-[Am7]ility... [E] [E]

[Bm] [A] [G] [A]
[Bm] And we've been [A]talking all [G]night... [F#]

A (hold for 3 bars) Am

[E] [F#7] [A] [E] (repeat)
(lead solo)

[E]Oh god come [F#7]quickly, the exe-[A]cution of all [E]things.
[E]Let's start with the [F#7]bears and the air and m[A]ountains, rivers, and [E]streams.
[E]Then we'll murder what [F#7]matters to you and move [A]on to your neighbours and [E]kids
[E]Crush all hopes of [F#7]happiness with dis-[A]ease cause of what you [E]did.

[E]And lastly, you're all [F#7]alone with [A]nothing left but [E]sleep.
[E]But sleep never [F#7]comes to you, it's the [A]guilt and forever [C#m]wakeful[B7]ness of
the [A]weak. It's just [Am7]you and me.

[C#m] C#m7sus4* [A]
The exe-cution of all things.
The exe-[C]cution [Cm]of all [C#m]things.
The exe-[B]cution of all [A]things.

[C] [B] [E]

*Just in case UG doesn't recognise C#m7sus4, it's this;
9 11 10 11 9 9
I also suggest primarily using barre chords with roots on the E string
rather than the A string. (With the possible exception of Am7 which sounds
nice in the normal position.)
Please don't forget to rate, and do comment if you've spotted something that
I haven't.
