while hammering on to the 3rd fret with his middle finger because he is not playing the D string anyway.

G 320033
Em7 020033

[Intro]
G Em Cadd9 A7sus4
G Em Cadd9 A7sus4
[Verse 1]
G Em7 Cadd9 See the killer was a coward G Em7 Cadd9 Dark deeds in dark towers G Em7 Cadd9 So he fled when they came G Em7 Cadd9 Blowin' brass, carrying chains
[Verse 2]
G Em7 Cadd9 They wanna lock him in the dark G Em7 Cadd9 They wanna kill what's in his heart G Em7 Cadd9 And they left the town to hunt him down G Em7 Cadd9 they left one man to hold it down
[Verse 3]
G Em7 Cadd9 C6sus2 A7sus4 But when they get back he's in the throne G Em7 Cadd9 Looks like the killer's fucking clone G Em7 Cadd9 Says he's got ideas of his own G Em7 Cadd9 But there's one thing he'd kill to know
[Verse 4]
G Em7 Cadd9 See there's a hero in the crowd G Em7 Cadd9 And his heart starts beating loud G Em7 Cadd9 Says the killer took his friend G Em7 Cadd9 And decides that this is where it ends
[Verse 5]
G Em7 Cadd9 So that night the king's walkin the tower G Em7 Cadd9 His eyes lit up with all the power G Em7 Cadd9 And the hero is ghosting by the guards G Em7 Cadd9 And his heart is carrying a charge
[Verse 6]
G Em7 Cadd9 He stabs him in his cunning heart G Em7 Cadd9 The scream tore sea and sky apart G Em7 Cadd9 So you want fears? We've still got several G Em7 Cadd9 Cadd9 Cadd9 Least the killer's dancing with the devil Cadd9 And the hero did it
[Verse 7]
G Em7 Cadd9 For days when you don't know if the moon will even come, and then it G Em7 Cadd9 Lays down and I'm telling you man it's sweet when it does and when I G Em7 Cadd9 Think of you I think of spirit defined G Em7 Cadd9 I think of all the love that we shared in a very dark time
[Verse 8]
G Em7 Cadd9 So the hero did it for the summer G Em7 Cadd9 For long days with that sun in your hair G Em7 Cadd9 For fires and family G Em7 Cadd9 Cadd9 Cadd9 For the phrase "Don't ever leave me"
[Outro]
G Em7 Cadd9 Sorrow won't be finding me no more! G Em7 Cadd9 Sorrow won't be finding me no more! G Em7 Cadd9 Sorrow won't be finding me no more! G Em7 Cadd9 G When you coming home now
