[Intro 1]
[Am][E]
[Am][E]
[Am][D][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Down,
down, come on down
Fol[E]low me down to the cholera well
[Am]Down, down, come on down
Down to the cholera well
Down, down, come on down
Fol[E]low me down to the cholera [Am]well
Down, down, come on down
Down to the cholera [G]well[Am]
[G][D][Am]

[Verse 2]
[G][Am]
Well senator, come, take my hand,
And feel the flames that
you have fanned,
A blood wrecked symphony in sand,
Remember that Jonestown smell

[Verse 3]
It [Am]could have been Afghanistan,
[E]The slow destruction of Sudan,
[Am]Not to be found in published plans,
A covert genocide

[Verse 4]
[Am]Down, down, come on down
[G]Follow me down to the [D]cholera well
[Am]Down, down, come on down
Down [G]to the cholera well
[D]Yeah![Am]
[G][D][Am]

[Verse 5]
[G][D][G]
[Am]By night, the US planes descend,
And deals are struck with
their pay roll friends
An arms bazaar that never ends
The Russians land by morning

[Verse 6]
The [Am]militia men are throwing dice,
For a hand[E]full of beans and rice,
[Am]Wiring and old Soviet device,
Like a Clay[D]more [Am]mine

[Verse 7]
[Am]Down, down, come on down
[G]Follow me down to the [D]cholera well
[Am]Down, down, come on down
[G]Down to the cholera well
[D]Yea[Am]h![G][D][Am][G]
[Am]Yeah
[G][D][Am]

[Verse 8]
[G][D][Am]
When [E]everything [Am]is blown to hell,
We'll sit down by the cholera [E]well,
Drinking poison from the
mortar shell[Am]s
[D]Fired up [Am]that day
Can you feel the stomach cramps?
Two [D]million [Am]in internment camps,
[D]We're [Am]complicit, in our negligence
[F#]Of all these holoc[E]aust[Am]s![F#m]

[Verse 9]
[Am]Down, down, come on down
[G]Follow me down to the chol[D]era well
[Am]Down, down, come on down
[G]Down to the [D]cholera well
[Am]Yeah down, down, come on down
[G]Follow me down to the [D]cholera well
[Am]Down, down, come on down
[G]Down to the chol[D]era well
[Am]Yeah down, down, come on down
[G]Follow me down to the
[D]cholera well
[Am]Yeah down down, yeah follow me down
[G]Down to the [D]cholera [Am]well
Down down, come on down
Yeah [G]down, to the [D]cholera well
[Am]Down, down, come on down
[G]Down to the [D]cholera [Am]well
