             My first real record, yeah,         worn down it played and 
played.

A         C      B         e
Young and blind, my double mind.

CHORUS
A
When the world was black and white,
f#m
watch me turn my back tonight,
   D                e
on Freddie Mercury, Mr. Fahrenheit.

repeat INTRO

VERSE 2
I was in eighth grade; I said he was a queer,
I thought he had it coming; he died of Aids that year.

A    C      B                         e
My liberty, like Christ's death meant nothing to me.

CHORUS 2
A
When my veins choked thick with spite,
f#m
blind man's bluff burns in hindsight,
    D                e               (D C#) [first time only]
for Freddie Mercury, Mr. Fahrenheit.
REPEAT

BRIDGE (ska feel)
f#m            C#
Predisposed to bigotry,
    D                       C#
The regular run-of-the-mill American story.
f#m
The stench of greasepaint on our faces,
C#
Pass the mask to our next of kin,
D
Instead of wiser idioms,
C#                              f#m
Like "love the sinner, hate the sin".

f#m C# D C# (these are the chords played but I'm not sure about the order)

REPEAT INTRO

CHORUS 2

end on A
