He looked a lot like Che Guevara drove a diesel van
D                               E
Kept his gun in quiet seclusion such a humble man

The only survivor of the National People's Gang

Panic in Detroit


   D                            E
He laughed at accidental sirens that broke the evening gloom
    D                                  E
The police had warned of repercussions they followed none too soon
G            A         G                  A
A trickle of strangers were all that were left alive

Panic in Detroit


D                                 C
Putting on some clothes I made my way to school, ooh ooh
      Bm               C                G
And I found my teacher crouching in his overalls
  D                                      C
I screamed and ran to smash my favourite slot machine, ooh ooh
    Bm                C                  D              G  D  G...with solo tab
And jumped the silent cars that slept at traffic lights
