The New Black Gold

Abm                   F#
A glaring neon glow illuminates this street
E                              Dbm             Eb
Breathe in these human vapors, sweat and heavy heat
Abm                         F#
Hi-tech cathedrals rise and fall in great ravines
E                        Dbm           Eb
Colossal steeples to the gods in the machines

[Pre-Chorus]

Abm                F#
Broken body built anew
                        E
Spirit lingers, torn in two
                      Dbm      Eb
Metal fingers grip my heart so cold
Abm                  F#
Fossil fuels to slavery
                 E
Political duplicity
                   Dbm       Eb
Every great commodity's been sold

[Chorus]

Abm                                    F#                Db
Slave to the new black gold, there's a heartbeat under my skin
Abm                             F#           Db
Search my electric soul for the hidden man within
Abm                                    F#                Db
Slave to the new black gold, there's a heartbeat under my skin
Abm                             F#           Db
Search my electric soul for the hidden man within

[Instrumental]

Abm F# E Dbm Eb  (x2)

[Verse]

Abm                          F#
Your secret science conquers nature's cruel laws
E                           Dbm            Eb
But inside your wires lie a million mortal flaws
Abm                      F#
Electric sleep I dream inside my honeycomb
E                      Dbm              Eb
I stay alive inside my hive of skin and chrome

[Pre-Chorus]

Abm                F#
Broken body built anew
                        E
Spirit lingers, torn in two
                      Dbm      Eb
Metal fingers grip my heart so cold
Abm                  F#
Fossil fuels to slavery
                 E
Political duplicity
                   Dbm       Eb
Every great commodity's been sold

[Chorus]

Abm                                    F#                Db
Slave to the new black gold, there's a heartbeat under my skin
Abm                             F#           Db
Search my electric soul for the hidden man within
Abm                                    F#                Db
Slave to the new black gold, there's a heartbeat under my skin
Abm                             F#           Db
Search my electric soul for the hidden man within
