   C                           G 
   Landing in Manhattan with a suitcase and a name 
         G7                                    C 
   I was pushed off Ellis Island and they were branded just the same 
           Am                        Fm7         Fm       C 
   Now the Industry is waiting for a swift and deliberate change 


Dm        Fm           C 
   With a note of introduction,  
Dm           Fm            C 
   two great men of high esteem 
Dm        Fm           C 
   One is busy with production 
Dm           Fm               C 
   The other trapped inside a dream

   C                                 G 
   Swimming up that stream of people earning their commute 
         G7                          C 
   I was almost swept away under the wave of tailored suits 
            Am                 
   Standing in the wizard's waiting room 
   Fm7         Fm          C 
   Awaiting in his waiting room 


Dm            Fm            C 
   A young machinist in the empire 
Dm         Fm           C 
   With a letter in his hand 
Dm         Fm              C 
   An opportunist with the invite 
Dm         Fm             C 
   Another pitfall in the sand 
   Dm             Fm                    
  (Ah da da da da da da da da da da) 


C C7 Gm Gmadd9 Gm Gm7 C7 Gm  
(Just play around with C and G minor chords as you see fit) 

G                   G7 
   If it's war they want 
                            C 
   We can bring it to their door 
G                            G7 
   And if it's blood they want 
                          C 
   Then they can have it all!
