The Execution of All Things
Technically this song starts with only the bass, but I like to strum the bottom
three strings of these chords.
E F# A E
Soldiers come quickly, I feel the earth beneath my feet.
I'm feeling badly, it's not an attempt at decency.
1st Riff (3:01)
e|-----12----14--12----|----12----14--12----|----12----14--12----|
B|--12----12--------12-|-11----11--------11-|-10----10--------10-|
e|-----12----16—(14)-12-| (Play note only on the second time)
B|--12----12------------|
And if you're well off, well then I'm happy some for you.
But I'd rather not celebrate my defeat and
C#m B E
humiliation here with you.
Play 1st Riff once at 2:45, this time with distortion.
2nd Riff (2:37)
A|-11-11-11-11-|-11-12-14-|-11-11-11-11-|-11-12-14-|
E|-------------|----------|-------------|----------|
A|-11-11-11-11-|-11-12-14----|----------------| Play twice.
E|-------------|----------12-|-12-12-12-12-12-|
Someone come quickly, this place was built for moving out.
Leave behind buildings, the city planners got mapped out.
E F# A E
Bring with you history and make your hard earned feast.
E F# A
Then we’ll all go to Omaha, to work and exploit the
C#m B A E Bm A G F#7
booming music scene and humility.

E F# A E
Oh god come quickly, for the execution of all things.
E F# A E
Let's start with the bears and air and then mountains rivers and streams
E F# A E
Then we'll murder what matters to you and move on to your neighbors and kids
E F# A E
Crush all hopes of happiness with disease cause of what you did
E F# A E
And lastly, you're all alone with nothing left but sleep.
E F# A
But sleep never comes to you, just the guilt and forever
C#m B A C
wakefulness of the weak.
It's just you and me....
The execution of all things.
