Verse 1:



E                   A

Sittin' here on the Terra Firma



B                       A*

 It's the place we were meant to be



E              A

Out here kinda lost in space now



B                 A*

 Pondering life's mysteries



E              A

All of mankind worship at the altar



B           A*

 Of the old mythology



E               A

But the genie's out of the bottle



B                      A*

 Collision course with eternity





Play main riff.





Verse 2:



E              A

Young children playin' in the chat room



B                        A*

 With the freaks and the satellites



E             A

Upload to the nearest planet



B                   A*

 Burnin' out at the speed of light



E                     A 

Better living for the masses



B             A*

 With the new technology



E                  A

But some fool went pushed the button



B                 A*

 He didn't get an apology







Bridge 1:



B5                A5

Feelin' good is a new sensation



B5            D D D D D D D

Panacea for a Prozac nation 







Chorus 1 (partial)

Heavy, heavy water

Won't wash away the sins of the father







Verse 3:



E          A

Sacred Cow sizzlin' in the fire



B             A*

 As we all go up in flames



E                A

With millions of true believers



B            A*

 And their unfamiliar names 







Bridge 2:



B              A

On the road to good intentions



B                    D D D D D D D

Blown to hell by our own inventions









Chorus 2 (full)

Heavy, heavy water

Won't wash away the sins of the father

Unholy, holy water

Leading us like lambs to the





Solo

Lemonade for the thirsty giant
