I need Geraldo for some hope
and Oprah Winfrey's show
can teach me how to cope
I need a country that's not sick
I need emotions hard as a brick

I need a peephole in my door
I need a leader that won't sleep
with common whores
I need to put my faith in God
I need a brand new fishing rod

    I need a castle and a sword

transcriber notes:

Alternate way of playing the main rhythm when Stu strums:

E |--0--0-0-0-0---0--0-0-0-0-|
B |--3--3-3-3-3---3--3-3-3-3-|
G |--2--2-2-2-2---2--2-2-2-2-|
D |--0--0-0-0-0---0--0-0-0-0-|
A |--0--0-0-0h2---0--0-0-4-0-|
D |--0--0-0-0-0---0--0-0-0-0-|

The low "E" is dropped to a "D" to give the song more of a bassy sound. The 
opening riff is a series of pull-offs and hammer-ons that can be a little
difficult at first, but you'll get the hang of it. When I play the rhythm to 
this song, I picture that I'm galloping on a horse. It sounds funny, but 
that's what I kinda picture. Maybe that will help. Play along with the song to 
get the feel for the rhythm since it didn't tab out all the strums in a lot of 
places. Have fun playing this one. Del.
