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