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 [F#7]badly, it's not an [A]at-tempt at [E]decency.
[E]And if you're well[F#7] off, well then I'm [A]happy some for [E]you.
[E]But I'd rather not [F#7]celebrate my [A]de-feat and [C#m]humili-ation [B7]here with
[E][F#7]you.[E][A]
[E]Someone come [F#7]quickly, this place was [A]built for moving [E]out.
[E]Leave behind [F#7]buildings, the city [A]planners 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 [B7]music
[A]scene and [Am7][E]hum-ility...[E]

[E]Oh god come [F#7]quickly, the [A]exe-cution of all [E]things.
[E]Let's start with the [F#7]bears and the air and [A]mountains, 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 [A]dis-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][B7]wakefulness of
the [A]weak. It's just [Am7]you and me.
C#m C#m7sus4* A
The exe-cution of all things.
The [C]exe-cution [Cm]of all [C#m]things.
The [B]exe-cution of all [A]things.

*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.
