Idiots Are Taking Over by NOFX Guitar Chords


Hey.
Besides the regular notes (/ slide up, x palm mute), there’s a few more
extra special notes this time around.
1) This song is FAST. Really, really fast.
2) The ska part works just as well with downstrokes as upstrokes, but upstrokes
are more ska-ish, plus they give you a warm fuzzy feeling that you’re playing
the song just right.
3) Some of these chords may look funny or be in weird places, but that’s just
how the song goes.
4) This is a very disorganized tab/chord sheet. I tried to make it clear, but it
just didn’t take. Sorry.
5) Any correction would be appreciated, that applies to the whole
song. Thanks.
6) Want it to sound closer? Throw in a pick scrpe and a scream at the end of
any of the verses except for the ones leading into the ska part or the outro.
7) The Rhythm section below is for the verse only. The ska part is a different,
more rhythmic sort of….. rhythm.
8) Sorry for the messiness.

Cheers!

F#5(8va) D5
It’s not the right time to be sober
A5 D#aug
Now the idiots have taken over
D5 B5 R1
Spreading like a social cancer, is there an answer?

F#5(8va) D5
Mensa membership conceding
A5 D#aug
Tell me why and how are all the stupid people breeding
Watson, it’s really elementary
The Industrial Revolution
Has flipped the bch on evolution
The benevolent and wise are being thwarted, ostracized, what a bummer
The world keeps getting dumber
F5 D5 R1
Insensitivity is standard and faith is being fancied over reason

F#5(8va) D5
Darwin’s rollin over in his coffin
A5 D#aug
The fittest are surviving much less often
D5 B5 R1
Now everything seems to be the first thing, and it’s worsening

F#5(8va) D5
Someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool
A5 D#aug D5
Now angry mob mentality’s no longer the exception, it’s the rule
And I’m startin to feel a lot like Charlton Heston
Stranded on a primate planet
Apes and orangutans that ran it to the ground
Were generals and the armies that obeyed them
Followers following fables
Philosophies that enabled them to rule without regard

play the ska chord A nine times

There’s no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated
Political scientists get the same one vote as some Arkansas inbred
Majority rule, don’t work in mental institutions
A F#5(8va)
Sometimes the smallest softest voice carries the grand biggest solutions!

What are we left with?
A5 D#aug D5
A nation of god-fearing pregnant nationalists
Who feel it’s their duty to populate the homeland
Pass on traditions
How to get ahead religions
And prosperity via simpleton culture

A5 F#5(8va)
The idiots are takin’ over
The idiots are takin’ over

(repeat 4x)

Lead Guitar outro: Start playing at “culture”
