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