Intro
Bm D A G (x4)
[Verse 1]
Bm D A G
cold fire tonight and head slow
Bm D A G
ironed eyes and lead to hide the gallows
Bm D A G
the crowd’s stoned out on
Bm D A G
bottles in the back and the red rope
Bm D A G
bottles in the back and the red rope
[Chorus]
Bm D A G
I-ii-iiii shot him down
Bm D A G
two knocks at the door and he hit the ground
Bm D A G
one last breath, well i suppose
Bm D A G
and the beat goes (x4)
[Interlude]
Bm D A G (x2)
[Verse 2]
Bm D A G
on broken strangers filled with blind hope
Bm D A G
perched the thing with feathers made of red smoke
Bm D A G
as the sun bleeds down on
Bm D A G
all the tangled rivers and the loaded guns
Bm D A G
all the tangled rivers and the loaded guns
[Chorus]
Bm D A G
I-ii-iiii shot him down
Bm D A G
two knocks at the door and he hit the ground
Bm D A G
one last breath, well i suppose
Bm D A G
and the beat goes (x3)
[Interlude]
Bm D A G (x2)
[Verse 3]
Bm D A G
the sun goes black as the cello plays
Bm D A G
the kind of cinematic swell that makes the critics say
Bm D A G
if only-yyy we had made
Bm D A G
something out of nothing before a quiet grave
Bm D A G
something out of nothing before a quiet grave
[Chorus]
Bm D A G
I-ii-iiii shot him down
Bm D A G
two knocks at the door and he hit the ground
Bm D A G
one last breath, well i suppose
Bm D A G
and the beat goes (x4) (fading) (end on the G)
