the commisars are fickle but the stockpile grows

the stars and stripes are running for their own big show
 
B             Esus2       B              Esus2
another little flare up, storm brewed in a teacup
 
B          Esus2          G#m
imagine any mixup and the lot would go
 
N.C.
nothing ever happens, nothing really matters

no one ever tells me what am I to know, so what am I to know

N.C.
you wouldn't read about it, read about it
 
D
one unjust ridiculous steal, ain't no doubt about it
 
N.C.
you wouldn't read about it, read about it
 
D
just another particular deal, ain't no doubt about it

If you play this as a Barre chord on the 7th fret, the B is pretty easy to turn into an “E the B string open” - dunno what that’s called - but it sounds cool. Thanks for the tab. It’s great

Pretty good.
