Intro:

A D Bmsus4 E x2

Verse 1:

A                           D
All these rats are swimmin' for the land
Bmsus4           E
They ain't goin' down with the captain
A                         D
Same old rats that took a bite outa' me
        Bmsus4                     E
Darling way back when the word was   mutiny

Bridge:

D                           E
Nothin' but a raft to carry me and my girl
A                  D
They just wrote us off
        Bmsus4                     E
'Til we turned the blazing torches on their docks

Chorus:

(Amaj7) A                 D
  One  night we're gonna' burn 'em down
(Amaj7) A                 D
  One  night we're gonna' burn 'em down
(Amaj7) A                 D
  One  night we're gonna' burn 'em down

Verse 2:

A                                   D
And the same goes for those who underestimate
         Bmsus4                     E
Said the love of my life was just another blind date
           A                   D
You know I hardly had a single edgewise
           Bmsus4                    E
Before the true believers started to drop like flies

Bridge:

    D                            E
But I don't see 'em out parading arm in arm
  A                              D
I see 'em dodging cars in harm's way
                  Bmsus4                          E
You think with so many words of wisdom they could fill up a library

Chorus:
  (Amaj7) A                D
But one  night I'd have to burn it down
(Amaj7) A                D
One    night I'd have to burn it down
(Amaj7) A                D
One    night I'd have to burn it down

Middle part:

      E                                  Bmsus4
I can think of at least fourteen ways to disappear
           E                                                 Bmsus4
No I don't need to be told when it's plain as day I'm in the minority here
     G                  F#m(7)               B
But why should all the horrible people have all the cheer

Verse 3:

A                            D
Blue green grass is standing somewhere still
  Bmsus4                  E
I know it is even if it's over landfill
         A                            D
I got to   think that there's still a tiny patch
   Bmsus4                          E
To raise some hens and watch those chickens hatch

Bridge:

D                              E
Browsing through the almanac I watch the stars
     A               D
That plummet now and then
        Bmsus4                        E
And I'm waiting for a flamin' shoe to drop on us again

Chorus:

(Amaj7) A           D
One    night gonna' burn it down
(Amaj7) A                 D
One    night we're gonna' burn it down
(Amaj7) A                 D
One    night we're gonna' burn it down
       A             D
Gonna' burn it down
             A             D
We're gonna' burn it down
             A                       D
We're gonna' burn it burn it burn it burn it down

Outtro:

A D x6
