Barre chords or open - main verse is barre - A 577655 E x 57755
(two high notes are emphasised or finger picked during the verse, Eo 022100 fine in chorus)
                                 
I  (A) went to a party with my girl in the city
On (E) election night
I was (A) hopin everybody'd make a move to the left
But we (D) gone and made a (E) swing to the (F#) right - (play these three notes once on the A string)
Now I'm singing the (D) blues for our (A) country
As we (F#) move into another long (E) night

(D) I'm gonna (A) catch that plane and (E) fly - catch that (F#) plane and (G#) fly
(D) Gonna (A) sail on the next high (E) tide
(F#)Just to get (Eo) away from that (D) c#cksucker  (A) m@therfucker
(E) Playing on my (A)mind
(E) Ooooooo (A) c#cksucker....

2nd chorus ends - (E) Playing on my (B) mind and (C#) darkening our (A) times

I stood in the corner throwing glances at the TV
I ripped the label off a bottle or nine
Some sucker rolled up in a beemer trailing streamers
And I nearly got into a fight
I said "you're making a fool of the country holding hands with the Christian right"
Then I turned to my girl and I cried

Gonna jump that train and ride by (jump that train and ride)
Sail on the next high tide
Just to get away from that c#cksucker m@therfucker
Playing on my mind and darkening our times

Ohh c#cksucker m@therfucker
Ohh m@therfucker
Ooh c#cksucker m@therfucker

Well (Eo) all of a sudden I got something to say
I (F#) buried my head but it wouldn't go away
I (Eo) sat around waiting for a brighter day
But the (D) bad stuff's coming when the (C#) good do nothing
It's (B) true (Eo) 
So what am I gonna (D) do?

Maybe backpack through Peru
Work for time on a farm in Timbucktoo?
To get away from that c#cksucker m@therfucker
Playing on my mind
The get away from that c#cksucker m@therfucker
Darkening our times

Ohh c#cksucker m@therfucker
Ohh m@therfucker
Ooh c#cksucker m@therfucker
