Standard tuning (EADGBE) Capo on 5th Fret
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chords used: C, Am, Em, F, G6, Dm
I posted this tab well before the studio version was released so it really is for
the acoustic guitar. But I can't see why it wouldn't sound great on the electric
too. But if you are using an acoustic guitar, try experimenting with some hammer-on's below.
Use your middle finger to hammer on the C chord.
Use your middle and ring fingers to hammer on the Am chord.
Use your ring finger to hammer on the Em chord (If you use middle & ring)
Use your middle finger to hammer on the F chord.
Use your index finger to hammer on the Dm chord.

Intro: C, Am, Em, F
C, Em, F, G6
They poison our sweet mother earth
Destroy our sacred bodies, to fill our minds of junk and...
They call this knowledge but knowing nothing means knowing far, far too much
They let our children starve in the name of peace
They march to the beat of a killing machine
Life is not a dream when you can't wake up from the dream you wanted
Life is not a dream when you can't wake up from the dream you wanted
Oh... They'll pour the salt from your soul (x2)
La la la la la la la... La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la... La la la la la la la la
Scars and bars and fifty-one stars
In faith and milk and I'm drinking filth and disease
Oh pretty please, I'm begging freedom
There's lives to be blinded, servants un-kinded
Before we pay, and then we'll pay some more
Do you know the score? Cos I'm so fucking bored!
Life is not a dream when you can't wake up from the dream you wanted
Life is not a dream when you can't wake up from the dream you wanted
Oh... They'll pour the salt from your soul (x2)
They'll sell your wounds as evidence of your holes
La la la la la la la... La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la... La la la la la la la la
Life is not a dream when you can't wake up from the dream you wanted
Life is not a dream when you can't wake up from the dream you wanted
Life is not a dream..................................Life is not a...
Life is not a dream..................................Life is not a dream
