A augmentedA sixteen hundred, packed with angry young men

   A augmentedA
Came burning down main street

I touched the Epiphone that hung on my hip

      A augmentedA
It knew the sound of my heartbeat

F# minorF#m            G# minorG#m
But turning the corner in a twisted heap

   BB
They pulled some bodies from an upturned Ford

But it's always the same like Citizen Kane

Ya end up with nothing! and you leave for home

Talking and kicking coke cans in the street

A augmentedA            A augmentedA
As Fu Manchu looks on

As Fu Manchu looks on

And I wasted him with my gun

Flying engines in the night

Learning every part, he'll be through in years

   A augmentedA
When I'm signed on for life

F# minorF#m           G# minorG#m   BB
Lying here, waiting for a hero to rise

N.C.
But a lazy man lies back instead
