Jason White strums this x2 alone, x2 with Tre, then x2 with full band
(Billie Joe playing big power chords - F5 C#5 G#5 Eb5).
VERSE 1 (Jason uses INTRO part)
=======================================
[A5]Hear the [F5]sound of the [C5]falling [G5]rain
[A5]Coming [F5]down like an [C5]Armag[G5]eddon
[A5]Plague, the [F5]shame, the [C5]ones who [G5]died with[E5]out a name
Hear the song sounding of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery"
A plea, the company lost the war today
CHORUS
============
[A5]I beg to [F5]dream and differ [C5]from the hollow [G5]lies
[A5]This is the [F5]dawning of the [C5]rest of our [E5]lives
On holiday.
=== JASON INTRO, X2 ===
VERSE 2
============
There's a drum pounding out of time
Another protestor has crossed the line
The line, the money's on the other side
Can I get another Amen
There's a flag wrapped around the score of men
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument
=== REPEAT CHORUS ===

"The representative from California has the floor"
Seek out to the president gasbag
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel Tower
And criticize the government.
Bang bang! goes the broken glass man
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Triumph by fires, sinning buyers
I found a way that's [G5]meant [E5]for [A5]me
BUILD UP
===========
[E5]Check out...
[E5]Check out free country holiday!
FINAL CHORUS (starts on 'day')

[A5]I beg to [F5]dream and differ [C5]from the hollow [G5]lies
[A5]This is the [F5]dawning of the [C5]rest of our [E5]lives
[A5]I beg to [F5]dream and differ [C5]from the hollow [G5]lies

*** NOTES ***
============================
Hope that was easy to grasp, if you're unsure of the power chords:
[A5] [F5] [C5] [G5] [E5] [D5]
|-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |------10--6--------8----5------------| |-3-OR-10--6----6---8----5--OR-10--8--| |-3----8---4----6---6----3-----10--8--| |-1-------------4--------------8---6--|
That first F is lower than the second F, and BJ tends to use
the lower one in the chorus rather than the verse. Just gives
it a bit more thwack when it crashes in I suppose.
Note that this was tabbed from the song's 'premiere', a live
performance from Yahoo! Launch. The final album version may
possibly differ slightly. Also, a few of the lyrics may not
be quite right, check your lyric booklet.
Have fun rocking out politically!
