Listen to the song for rhythm, should be right. If the verse work sounds off, it's
probably due to the lead guitar, took me a little while to work out exactly what the chords
were. Pretty much just worked this out too over the last half hour, think it's right.
Hope it helps!

[G#]Meet the son of a Govern[C#]ment man
[G#]and a pillar of s[C#]alt
[G#]I was born with blood[C#] on my hands and
have a[F#]ll signs of a bleed[C#]ing heart

where a t[C#]iny few catch [G#]all of the r[F#]ays
[G#]Out beyond the weste[C#]rn squalls
[G#]In an alien la[C#]nd
[G#]they work for not[C#]hing at all
they don't k[F#]now the mall of the lay[C#]away plan
[G#]Dig yourself a beaut[C#]iful grave
[G#]everything you c[C#]ould want
[G#]Maybe those invisi[C#]ble slaves are
too f[F#]ar away for the ghost[C#] to
[Ebm]haunt, what do we c[G#]harge
