Promised Land chords by Avantasia

[Intro]

C

C

Bb

C


[Pre-Verse]

F

[Verse 1]

Dm
Hey redeemer now what`s become of me?
C
Taken in by promise, awakening in grief
Dm
Collecting us like puppets you instrumentalize
C
A frigid trepidation in a million puppet eyes


[Pre-Chorus]

C
God gave His word just to let us down, where is He now?


[Chorus]

D
You've been facing heaven
     D
You were lost and left alone, you're welcome to my home and
D
Found another heaven
    D
It was you who took my hand, come into the promised land


[Pre-Verse]

F


[Verse 2]

Dm
You scratched my back and I scratched yours
C
It's you who makes decisions, I just open up the doors
Dm
Whining in the gutter they forget their sanctity
C
Welcome to my clockwork vanity machinery


[Pre-Chorus]
C
You gave your word, you let me down what am I now?


[Chorus]

D
You've been facing heaven
     D
You were lost and left alone, you're welcome to my home and
D
Found another heaven
    C
It was you who took my hand, come into the promised land


[Bridge]

Em
Oh as far as the eye can see
          Em
They're bent in submission, empty inside
      Em
An army of scarecrows like me, thousands of broken dreams
       Em
Thousands of tragedies tried to run from their destiny
           D
Oh, like moths to a flame, driven by vanity
            D
They've been off to Jerusalem, chasing a dream, calling on me
            Dm
We're just trading in needs


[Pre-Verse] in place of the guitar solo

F


[Chorus] x2

D
You've been facing heaven
     D
You were lost and left alone, you're welcome to my home and
D
Found another heaven
    D
It was you who took my hand, come into the promised land


[End]
