Genesis - Land of Confusion

Originally in Em tuned to Ebm, I play in Am

Muted 16ths during all of the verse lines

DDm

Vox in on the 1 on “must”

G→ AmI must’ve dreamed a thousand dreams C

DBeen haunted by a million screams F

GBut I can hear the marching feet G

AmThey’re moving into the street G

AmNow did you read the news today C

DThey say the danger’s gone away F

GBut I can see the fires still alight G

AmThey’re burning into the night

There’s Gtoo many Ammen

CToo many Dpeople

Making Gtoo many Amproblems C

And Gnot much Gsus4love to go Amround

CCan’t you Dsee this is a Gland of conAmfusion C→ G

G→ AmOoh Superman where are you now C

DWhen everything’s gone wrong somehow F

GThe men of steel, the men of power G

AmAre losing control by the hour

Watch out, the prechorus comes early in this verse

GThis is the Amtime

CThis is the Dplace

So we Glook for the Amfuture C

But there’s Gnot much Gsus4love to go Amround

CTell me Dwhy this is a Gland of conAmfusion C→ G
