Fear
(Bouncy, slow and funky)
A....................DDGGA.......(2X)

A
1950 on our shore and there wasn't no war
	 D	    G        A...
With the boogie man six feet down
A
There was no one to fight but we had to show might
           D         G        A....
So they decided to attack the clowns
Bb           F         C         G
McCarthy had clout, he threw it about
Bb            F       C        G
Kazan was the heel, behind the reel
Bb                F               C          G
The clowns were accused; they had nothing to lose
       Bb             F        G..........
And we learned how to scare ourselves.....

Slide to A and

A....................DDGGA.......(2X)

It was 1965 I was barely alive
When they marched us back to war
The commies had six; we had five
So I guess we had to even the score

The villain was red; he had to be dead
The heroes were blue, but their motives weren't true
The villagers screamed, after all they had seen
Then we packed up and went back home........

Then in 1991 things wasn't no fun
'cause the money well done dried out
Then off in the sand came a freaky old man
Who decided to muddle about

We hadn't had war; for a decade or more
They had to throw down; or they might forget how
The TV was cool; kids started to drool
And we found some new people to hate........

A....................DDGGA.......(2X)

Then on 9 1 1 we was on the run
When evil knocked on our door
Lex Luther came in with a plan to win
Knocked two pillars to the floor

We had to fight back; but not in Iraq
Security's tight; when no one's in sight
The threat is more real; from a drunk at the wheel
But we're scared to walk out the door........

Jam (Just continue the tune w/out lyrics)

Bb..F\C..G
Bb..F\C..G

Bb  F   G.... slide to A - then
all day wild jamming on ADG till ya puke.

(When the jamming is done one last ADG
so we're all together then bring it back with...)

Now what do we do with this paranoid flu
That runs right through our veins
Keep your eyes open wide with your soul deep inside
Don't let it get to your brain

Your brother ain't lame; if he don't look the same
We don't need a gun; everywhere there's some fun
Don't think of dread; when the country's on red
And we won't be scared of ourselves..........
