Verse 
-Part 1 (w/ light distortion):
     E                    B                      E
 1)It's a long way to the promised land so you'd better well know your   
   B              E                        B                E
   way. There's a ship on the ocean and an albatross who is trying to   
            B     
   lead you astray

 Following the same pattern:
  (* : Guitar 2(w/ heavy distortion) strikes E5 ad lib)
                                               
 2)It's a long way to the promised land, if we work we might find it 
                    *                                       *
   here. There's no substitute for enlightenment, there's no reason for 
      
   bridled fear 
 

-Part 2 (w/ heavy distortion):
    E5                        B5                  A5               
1)	Leaders, politicians, and power whores are in line to receive your    
B5              A5                  B5                         A5
choice and you bet your ass, you if give it to them, they will gladly 
E5        B5     
take your voice.

 Following the same pattern:
2)	When you join the people who've joined the club you gotta, clench and       
    play your hand, 'Cuz if you fall in line you're gonna fall in time  
    and you'll never make a stand

3)	Easy answers bought without experience, is gonna lead you to certain 
doom because the truth is just what you make of it, it begins and ends with you!
