Play Heavily distorted and very sloppy to be as accurate as possible to the recording
the bridge is also palm muted
Optional:
For the E5 what I do to sound like the recording is fret the 2nds string at the 7th fret
and then slide it
down after a strum, which replicates the basses movement
[Chorus]
E5 E5
Murder for profit, murder for profit
E5 E5
It's the American way, baby, murder for profit
E5 E5
We'll sell you prisons, painkiller, or rockets
E5 E5
It's the American way, baby, murder for profit
