Great song. Sounds really good with a capo on the third fret, but I don't think that's
how BVA is playing it. The song goes a little something like this:

Goes like this: EGD on verses...the first two lines anyway
E G D E
I adore a confrontation, I should be ashamed.
G D E
A carnival of complication, everyone's to blame.
C D F C
We can see the rocket's red glare, pipebombs bursting in the air.
C F D9
As we proudly hail our taxis out of the fight.
Chorus: B F# A E7
B F# A E7
Singing born of this nation of white bread foundation
B F# A E7
We're taping a king beaten off his crown.
B F# A E7
My country, tis of thee, sweet land of irony.
B F# A E7
Spoonful of sugar to wash it down.
