Chorus
G
There has to be an invisible sun,
It gives it's heat to every one
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives us hope when the day's done
Verse 3:
It's dark all day and it glows all night
Factory smoke and acetylene light
I face the day with my head caved in
Looking like something that the cat brought in
Chorus
Instrumental: D Bm9 repeat
Verse 4:
And they're only gonna change this place
By killing everybody in the human race
And they would kill me for a cigarette
But I don't even wanna die just yet.

Looking at the walls of a prison cell
I don't ever want to play the part
Of a statistic on a government chart
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives us hope when the whole day's done
It's dark all day and it glows all night
Factory smoke and acetylene light
I face the day with my head caved in
Looking like something that the cat brought in
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives us hope when the whole day's done
And they're only gonna change this place
By killing everyone in the human race
And they would kill me for a cigarette

Ok, i actually have to explain the Chorus its simple but it will be better if i explain it to you!
I'll tab it out then i will explain it.

Ok, im going to explain the Chorus to you now.
PART 1:
Ok, the part "|--/3-5-3--|" it actually fades out really fast but you can
hear it tough so still play that part.
PART 2:
There is an echoing clicking noise and thats just whats-his-faces guitar muting
the high E string. Now heres the hard part i ned to explain:
EXPLANATION:
Ok, there is actually 60 strummed mutings and every 15 of them you start at around
15th fret you slide down the neck to the 12th fret while muting still so now if you get
going to break it really easily.
so start at the 15th fret and slide really slow to the 12th fret until you count 15
strums. and do that 4 times for each chorus because 4X15=60
I don't want to spend the rest of my life
Looking at the barrel of an armalite
I don't want to spend the rest of my days
Keeping out of trouble like the soldiers say
I don't want to spend my time in hell
Looking at the walls of a prison cell
I don't ever want to play the part
Of a statistic on a government chart
There has to be an invisible sun

There has to be an invisible sun

Looking like something that the cat brought in
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives us hope when the whole day's done
And they're only gonna change this place
By killing everyone in the human race
And they would kill me for a cigarette
But I dont even want to die just yet
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be and invisible sun
It gives us hope when the whole day's done
