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