News — Johnson Jack

Standard Tuning  EADGBE

A                   Bm               A
A billion people died on the news tonight
                    Bm
But not so many cried at the terrible sight
           A
Well mama said
               C#m
It's just make believe
                    Bm
You can't believe everything you see
                     D           Dm
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
        A            Bm
On the news tonight

A                  Bm           A
Who's the one to decide that it would be alright
                   Bm
To put the music behind the news tonight
            A
Well mama said
                       C#m
You can't believe everything you hear
                     Bm
The diagetic world is so unclear
                 D        Dm
So baby close your ears
             Bm
On the news tonight
               F#m
On the news tonight
Bm                        F#m
The unobtrusive tones on the news tonight
         A
And mama said
E
Mmm

A                                  Bm
Why don't the newscasters cry when they read about people who die
A                                 Bm
At least they could be decent enough to put just a tear in their eyes
        A
Mama said
               C#m
It's just make believe

You cant believe everything you see
Bm                     D         Dm
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
           A           Bm             A
On the news tonight

Listen to the song for the timing.  Thanks K-C, and Chris for getting
me started on guitar, and helpin a brother out when needed.  Much Love.
Later, Jake.
