Version 1
Note: This song is predominantly riff-based, so this is a bit of an adaptation to suit a chord version.
[Chords]
If you want the chord names for standard tuning throughout the tab, transpose -1. Note that the chord shapes
still won't work (only the names will), the shapes will be for drop D.

[Verse 1]
(Starts in 7/4, it's basically the same as the second half of the riff above but with the fist beat
removed)
D5 Ab5 G5
And so it went
D5 Ab5 G5
The children lost their mi--nds
D5 Ab5 G5
Beggin' for forgiveness
(Back to 4/4)
D5 Ab5 G5
Was such a waste of ti---ime
[Verse 2]
F5 E5 E5* A5
And the bullets start to fly
G5 E5 E5* A5
And the bar's about to break
G5 E5 E5* A5
Want to hear the cry
G5 E5 E5* A5
It's too much for me to take
[Chorus]
D5
They said the world does not belong to you
F5 D5 F5
You are not the king, I am not the fo-ol
E5 D5
They said the world does not belong to you
It don't belong to you
F5 E5 N.C.
It belongs to me

[Verse 3]
(7/4 again)
D5 Ab5 G5
And so it went
D5 Ab5 G5
The children lost their mi--nds
D5 Ab5 G5
Crawlin' over bodies of
(4/4)
D5 Ab5 G5
Those who gave their li--ives
[Verse 4]
F5 E5 E5* A5
And the fists began to throw
G5 E5 E5* A5
And the fire starts to blaze
G5 E5 E5* A5
Don't you think they know
G5 E5 E5* A5
That I'm fuckin' human race?
[Chorus]
D5
They said the world does not belong to you
F5 D5 F5
You are not the king, I am not the fo-ol
E5 D5
They said the world does not belong to you
It don't belong to you
F5 E5
It belongs to
[Bridge]
(Tempo reduces to 85 bpm)
Dm Faug F* G*
Everyone is cryin' out, I can hear them scream
Dm Faug F* G*
With all these eyes upon us, but no one seems to see
Dm Faug F* G*
That you and me are just the same as God meant it to be
Bb F C
But you're much too close to me
Bb F C C#5
But you're much too close to me-e

Nowhere to ru--un, nowhere to hi---ide
[Verse 6]
F5 E5 E5* A5

And the wolf is at your door

You have so much of everything

But still, you wanted more
[Chorus]
