[Verse]
F Bb F                                             F          
■ ■  ■ Well there's blood on the hands of the rich politicians
                                     C  
Red is the color of the sand and the sea
F                                       Bb
Blood on the hands of a arrogant nation ■ 
F                                               
■ Who start all the bleeding over their policies
Bb        F                                  
■  So she blamed it all on whispering secrets
                     C               
She blamed it on the moon and the sky
F                                         
She thought she broke the back of the city
                            Bb       F        C
She thought she thought she knew she had lied ■


[Chorus]
                                Bb                  
She changed directions with the ■  gas fires burning
C                                      Bb       F   
■ Racing for protection what could she possibly find
C                                  Bb       F       
■ Children with no legs out on the highways crawling
C                               Bb              F
■ Looking for an angel but they ran out of time ■


[Verse]
Bb F                                                 
■  ■ She had blood on her face so she had to get even
                                      C   
She hemorrhaged and bled all over the land
F                                                   
There's blood on the hands of those that kept silent
                                            C
Who won't count the bodies dead in the sand ■


[Chorus]
                                Bb                  
She changed directions with the ■  gas fires burning
C                            Bb                     
■ Racing for protection what could she possibly find
C                                  Bb               
■ Children with no legs out on the highways crawling
C                               Bb             
■ Looking for an angel but they ran out of time

                         F                                     
So you can feast on your stories but it won't stop the bleeding
         F                                              
When the truth is found the houses will surely fall down
        F                                          
There's blood on their mouths of all lies and liars
               Bb   F     Bb         C   
The bloody red eyes ■ the bloody red eyes


[Chorus]
Bb                  F     Bb         C   
The bloody red eyes ■ the bloody red eyes
Bb                         F          
The bloody red eyes of the rodeo clown
Bb                         F          
The bloody red eyes of the rodeo clown
    Bb                     F          
The bloody red eyes of the rodeo clown
Bb                         F           C
The bloody red eyes of the rodeo clown ■
                                Bb           F      
She changed directions with the ■  gas fires burning
C                                      Bb           
■ Racing for protection what could she possibly find
C                                  Bb               
■ Children with no legs out on the highways crawling
C                                          Bb  
■ Looking for an angel but they ran out of time

But there's blood in the streets from the lies and liars
C                                F    
The bloody red eyes of the rodeo clown
