Son Volt – While Rome Burns chords

[Verse 1]
DMountains of money
    A7sus4Men dressed up as news
       G                 DAnd we fiddle while Rome burns
        DThey're pissing away
            A7sus4What others died to create
   G                 DWe fiddle while Rome burns
     DLike Orwell's doublespeak
        A7sus4They're taking their cues
       G                 Asus4And we fiddle while Rome burns


[Chorus 1]
         Em             GThe interstates connect more than divide
    Em          Asus4      DFree will can only survive

[Verse 2]
DTime to face the music
       A7sus4Time to make the fur fly
   G                 DWe fiddle while Rome burns
   DToo clever by half
    A7sus4They play the short game
       G                 DAnd we fiddle while Rome burns
   DNo turning back the clock
              A7sus4There must be hope in this hell
   G                 Asus4We fiddle while Rome burns


[Chorus 2]
        Em                   GAnd the freeways lead to the gravel roads
       Em                  Asus4   DTo the town squares and the rodeos

[Outro]

G          DWhile Rome burns
G          DWhile Rome burns
G          DWhile Rome burns
G          DWhile Rome burns
