VERSE:
C                         G    C
Amy was a waitress at The Fire Street Grill
Am        G          C               F
Up route 611 she was slaving for the pill
C                                 G      C
Oxy's got her pupils pinned up, a junkie centerfold
          Am          G                   C        F
With grey hairs and a death wish, she was 22 years old

       F         G
Had it all, took the fall
       F         G
Had it all, took the fall


VERSE:
C                           G               C
Specialist Jeg, a much more honest man than you
Am                 G               C               F
Came back from the desert where he never found the truth
C                                 G             C
Now he screeches tires, fills his head with alcohol
             Am        G               C                F
While the morbid brown faces hang like portraits on the wall

       F         G
Had it all, took the fall
       F         G
Had it all, took the fall


CHORUS: (w/ intro riff)
C
Something happened on the way to hell,
F
The new guard they took my sister
C
Something happened on the way to hell,
F
The old guard they took my brother away
C
Something happened on the way to hell,
F
The same greed it took our parents
C
Something happened on the way to hell,
F
The west wall it took us with it


VERSE:
C                                G              C
McTiernan was a good ol' boy, he cheated and he skimmed
Am             G                  C         F
"A favor for a favor, it can't be called a sin"
C                              G                 C
Some may see it different, and some don't see at all
         Am             G                     C
  F
When the papers started calling he closed his eyes and took the fall

       F         G
Had it all, took the fall
       F         G
Had it all, took the fall


BRIDGE:
C                                         G              C
Now we're standing on the ledge and we're looking at the ground
  Am           G               C                 F
I feel my body breaking on the asphalt, hear the sound
C                                      G                C
Red and blue lights screaming saying, "Step up off that ledge"
      Am                    G             C               F
So we wrap our hearts up in our heads and take the fall instead

       F         G
Had it all, took the fall
       F         G
Had it all, took the fall


CHORUS: (w/ intro riff)
C
Something happened on the way to hell,
F
The new guard they took my sister
C
Something happened on the way to hell,
F
The old guard they took my brother away
C
Something happened on the way to hell,
F
The same greed it took our parents
C
Something happened on the way to hell,
F
The west wall it took us with it

(n.c.)
Something happened on the way to hell,
