hey , this is a simplified version for acoustic guitars . i think this song can also be with chords on accoustic guitar . i’m using A D - tuning , but it might also be okay in standard tuning . notice : in Verse it also might sound good to play G5 and F#5 instead of G an F# enjoy it . Verse : E5 G F# E5 when our rivers run dry and our crops cease to grow E5 G F# E5 and when our summers grow longer and winters won’t snow C A from the banks of the ocean and the ice in the hills E5 B to the fight in the desert where progress stands still C A when we’ve lost our will Chorus : E5 that’s how we’ll know G A E5 this is not a test , oh no G A this is cardiac arrest E5 G A of a world too proud to admit our mistakes E5 G A E5 we’re crashing into the ground as we all fall from grace Verse : E5 G F# E5 when the air that we breathe becomes air that we choke E5 G F# E5 when the marsh fever spreads from the swamps to our homes C A when your home on the range has been torn down and paved and E5 B the buffalo roam to a slaughterhouse grave C A what more will it take Chorus : E5 for us to know G A E5 this is not a test , oh no G A this is cardiac arrest E5 G A of a world too proud to admit our mistakes E5 G A E5 kissing the ground as we all fall from grace Bridge : E5 C A this is a chance to set things straight E5 C A to bend or break the rules back into place E5 C A there is no middle ground , no compromise , we’ve drawn the line E5 C A with perfect aim , we stand back and throw E5 C A glass windows break and it’s all about to blow E5 C A lights go out as we pass the torch again G D B C in hope that it stays lit Solo C A neutrality means that you don’t really care E5 B cause the struggle goes on even when you’re not there C A blind and unaware Chorus : E5 that’s how we’ll know G A E5 this is not a test , oh no G A this is cardiac arrest E5 G A of a world too proud to admit our mistakes E5 G A E5 we’re crashing into the ground as we all , yeah we all , all fall from grace
