G5 = 3x0033


[Verse]
          G5
Lost in a haze of battered steel
        C                G5
Factory corpses - fallow fields
        G5
Made to reap what others sowed
            C       Am      G5
An imminent banquet for the crows
             G5
The taste of rain knows not your tongue
             G5
The sound of laughter - stranger still
    C                          G5
Carolina - do you long for the grandeur
           F                  Am             G5
Of another age when mountains moved upon command?
           F             Am
Before the bomb rendered soil into sand


[Chorus]
G5               F  Am  G5
Ooooh-woohoo-oooh
G5               F  Am  G5
Ooooh-woohoo-oooh


[Verse]
       G5
Do you believe that gods or men
        C             G5
Led you to this viper den?
          G5
The wilderness cares not for qualms
        F         Am     G5
Trivial flags and broken psalms
          G5
Still you crave old tired lines
                G5
You poor bag of bones in a tattered coat
    C                        G5
Carolina, do you long for an answer?
           F                  Am             G5
The answer lays in the wicked hearts of humankind
                F          Am
Swept up in the craze of a layman’s grand design


[Chorus]
G5               F  Am  G5
Ooooh-woohoo-oooh
G5               F  Am  G5
Ooooh-woohoo-oooh


[Instrumental]
G5    C   G5
G5    C


[Verse]
         G5
Critical mass and cruel machines
          C           G5
Raped the earth in unity
              G5
Clinked their glasses - claimed a win
                F      Am  G5
They played you like a violin
       G5
In the dying symphony’s
      G5
Final opus, you’re a star
    C                       G5
Carolina, do you long for a future
            F            Am            G5
Praying for rain for the farmer in the dell
                F          Am
Or spitting out nails on a broken carousel?


[Chorus]
G5               F  Am  G5
Ooooh-woohoo-oooh
G5               F  Am  G5
Ooooh-woohoo-oooh
G5               F  Am  G5
Ooooh-woohoo-oooh
G5               F  Am  G5
Ooooh-woohoo-oooh


[Outro]
G5     C  G5
G5     F  Am  G5
G5     C  G5
G5     F  Am  G5
G5     C  G5
G5     F  Am  G5
G5     C  G5
G5     F  Am  G5
G5     C  G5
