[Intro]
Em, C, G, Am, G, Am, C  x4
[Versetto]
      Em                                          C 
Your class, your caste, your country, sect, your name or your tribe 
         G                             Am 
There's people always dying trying to keep them alive 
     G                      Am 
His body's decomposing in containers tonight 
         C 
In an abandoned building where
[Versetto]
     Em                          C 
A squatter's made a mural of a Mexican girl 
      G                                Am 
With fifteen cans of spray paint in a chemical swirl 
       G                            Am 
She's standing in the ashes at the end of the world 
             C 
Four winds blowing through her hair
[Ritornello]
                Am      D                 Am    D 
But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon 
          C       G                  C           G 
She just can't sustain the pressure where it's placed 
     Am 
She caves
[Interludio]
Em  C  G  Am  G  Am  C
[Versetto]
     Em                                    C 
The Bible's blind, the Torah's deaf, the Qu'ran is mute 
          G                                Am 
If you'd burn them all together you'd get close to the truth still 
          G                           Am 
They're pouring over sanskrit on the ivy league moons 
                C 
While shadows lengthen in the sun
[Ritornello]
           Em                            C 
Cast on a school of meditation built to soften the times 
     G                               Am 
And hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds 
       G                             Am 
It's knocking over fences, crossing property lines 
             C 
Four winds, cry until it comes
[Ritornello]
              Am      D 
And it's the song of man 
                  Am     D 
Slouching towards Bethlehem 
              C       G                 C      G 
A heart just can't contain all of that empty space 
    Am         D 
It breaks, it breaks, (it breaks)
[Interludio]
Em  C  Em  C  Em  C  D
[Versetto]
              Em                         C 
Well, I went back, I rent a Cadillac, a company jet 
        G                        Am 
Like a newly orphaned refugee, retracing my steps 
        G                     Am 
All the way to Cassadega to commune with the dead 
                   C 
They said, "You'd better look alive"
[Versetto]
           Em                         C 
And I was off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps 
         G                               Am 
In the black hills, the bad lands, the calloused east 
    G                   Am 
I buried my ballast, I made my peace 
                   C 
With four winds, levelling the pines
[Ritornello]
                Am      D                 Am   D 
But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon 
          C      G                   C     G 
She just can't remain with all that outer space 
     Am           D           Am        D 
She breaks, she breaks, she caves, she caves.
