Em D B B
(that's three strums on the C and then one strum on the D and two strums on B)
(VERSE)
ECEm
G F# Em C Em
And did those feet in ancient times
G F# Em D B Em
Trod on America's pastures of green?
G F# Em C Em
And did that anthropocentric god wane
G F# Em D B Em
With their thoughts and beliefs all unseen?
(CHORUS)
G F# D Dsus4
I don't think so,
D Em Em
He's up there with the others lying low
G F# D Dsus4
Vying with those
B
who you've traded your life to bless your soul.
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bad_religion/god_song_crd.html )
(VERSE)
ECEm
G F# Em C Em
And have they told you how to think
G F# Em D B Em
Cleansed your mind of sepsis and autonomy?
G F# Em C Em
Or have you escaped scrutiny
G F# Em D B Em
And regaled yourself with depravity?
(CHORUS)
G F# D Dsus4
Now we all see
D EmEm
Religion is just synthetic frippery
G F# D Dsus4
Unnecessary
B G F# Em
In our expanding global cultural efficiency.
(SOLO - the chords are the same as for the verse)
(CHORUS)
G F# D Dsus4
And don't you fear
D Em Em
this impasse we have built to our future?
G F# D Dsus4
Ever so near,
B
And oh so austere.
(OUTRO) (same as the intro)
ECCC
EDBB
