God and Country
By Blue Rodeo
Transcribed by Ryan Robson (thunderman99@hotmail.com)

This song is in standard E tuning, but sounds slightly out of tune when playing along... like
they had to de-tune the guitars to match up to the piano.

Intro: E

Verse 1:
        E          B                A           G#m
Forever lost in comparisons between you and the better man
            A-G#m     F#m             B
Yeah you're always so quick to take a bow
            E                    B            A                G#m
I've got to laugh at your circus sympathy and your postcard sincerity
          A-G#m    F#m                B
Don't you ever get tired of being yourself

Chorus 1:
             G#m        A
It's getting so hard to find you
       E              B
As you fade into your world of reprisal
       F#m    G#m    A
As you slip into the comfort
          B
Of your denial
     A         B
Your patriotic smile
    A          B
You go down in style

Verse 2:
        E                      B
And you say that you're not to blame
            A                               G#m
Yeah you're proud of what you did and you'd do it again
A-G#m      F#m             B
All in the name of God and country
           E                        B
But that's too bad about the little snag
              A                G#m
Cause getting caught is such a drag
A-G#m       F#m             B
Even in the name of God and country

Chorus:
             G#m             A
Still you're all the same to me
            E                        B
You're just trying to make points on national TV
     F#m             G#m        A              B
Yeah you try to make points for God... God and country
A             B
You call this justice
A                B
I call this self-service

Solo:
A, B, A, G#m, A-G#m, F#m, B

Verse 3:
      E                 B
And I hope that I never find
         A                       G#m
What you call good conscience or peace of mind
    A-G#m      F#m              B
As another man dies for God and country
          E                               B                 A         G#m
Cause I'm sure while you're sitting there talking while the bombs are falling
A-G#m      F#m
All in the name
   A-G#m      F#m
Oh all in the name
   A-G#m      F#m     B       E
Oh all in the name of God and country

Ending:
(E, A) repeat for fade out
