Verse:

                          
Driving through the south, no need to stop for gas

                           
Thats all taken care of, by the gas man

                             
Some of it is very beautiful, some of it has scars

                       
and some of it is ugly, as a bigot in a bar

                                   
Travelling through the south by car, me and Bonn and Charlie B
       
                               
The night makes us stop, by the side of the road for tea

                                              
I look up in the distance, a branding iron is stuck up in the night sky


It's in the shape of American, and it's in flames


but I'm not sure why


Chorus:

         ----
Into the cornfields

         ----
Into the cordnfields

         ----
We don't want to go


The chorus is played the same as the intro, he drags out the word "cornfields" but its
easy to get the hang of if you listen to it, you can alternate with the A and the Asus2
in places, just see which sounds best to you. Thats the whole song, enjoy. Any comments
are welcome.
