Yada-yada, I'm bad at tabbing - feel free to suggest corrections!
As I think I've mentioned in literally all my other Dirty Harry tabs, I substitute most
of these chords
with their power chord equivalent (except Em, B7 and E, in this case). But again, just a
personal preference
of mine, not necessarily better or correct.
Also, if you find it difficult to switch so quickly between B7 and B in the verses,
playing one or the other
will sound okay too.

Em C G B7 C E - Em
C Em B7
[Verse 1]
Em C
I stand at the mouth of the mountain,
G B7
un-moving, unshaken, in my grave forsaken
Em
and dead!
(Em) C
This world’s still burning,
G B7
while those figures of families are now
B Em
just ashes in the bed.
(Em) C
There is no man here,
G
just an empty hollowed husk,
B7 B
to be eaten up and swallowed by
Em
the cold!
(Em) C
Voices are calling
G
from the darkening abyss
B7 B
until I fade from this existence,
Em
like my souls!
(Em) C
Upon the pavement,
G
where I keep on running from
B7 B
those demons manifested
Em
in my home!
(Em) C
Upon these train tracks,
G
I’ll lay inside this boxcar
B7 B
till it turns into my casket
Em C
in the snow
[Chorus]
(C) D
And upon the hillside, there’s a swing there
B
to remind us of our innocence,
Em
remind us of our innocence!
C D
And upon that hillside, there’s a swing there
B
to remind of us our innocence,
G B Em
and now that fucking innocence is gone!
(Em) C G
B Em C G
B Em - C G
B Em C G
B C C Em
Em B Em
[Verse 2]
(Em) C
No information,
G
just sit there in the darkness,
B7 B
and just listen to all those lies that
Em
they tell!
(Em) C
This kingdom of heaven
G
is just a concrete jungle,
B7
and it’s nothing more than a goddamn
B Em
living hell!
(Em) C
Coughing and screaming,
G** (play twice)
well, every time we step outside,
B7**
every time we step outside...
Em C
There’s no one left dreaming,
G
unless it’s a capitalist takeover,
B7 B
or someone’s contemplating
Em
sui - cide!
(Em) C
There’s no more reaching for hope,
G
they’ll take your hands,
B7
and cut them at the wrist
B
then laugh at you like a
Em
goddamn fool!
(Em) C
So be a good sheep,
G
and take those shitty jobs
B7
they keep on givin' you,
B
while we’re castrated
Em C
by the bull!
[Chorus]
(C) D
And upon the hillside, there’s a swing there
B
to remind us of our innocence,
Em
remind us of our innocence!
C D
And upon that hillside, there’s a swing there
B
to remind of us our innocence,
G B E Em
but now that fucking innocence is gone!
