Verse 1 Gm D/F# I hold out hope, But it stalls Bb/F# C7 Gm/Bb D7 Gm D Soon, the last curtain falls, A hundred years of past has spoken Gm D/F# Bb/F C7 All the great warriors , Are sewn into history's flag Gm/Bb D7 Gm D Like a book of the seven seals , Of the hero's past Gm D/F# Bb/F C7 Through fires, revolutions , Dust storms and conclusions Gm/Bb D7 Gm D Will the show go on tonight? For one more time? Verse 2 Gm D/F# I fight on, Fight on, Bb/F C7 Gm/Bb D7 I'm the last matador of Bayonne, For tomorrow this place falls Gm D Into silence... Clean Solo.

This is one of my favorite songs off of Joe Bonamassa's Dustbowl album. I haven't seen any proper tabs for it so i thought id tab it out for people who enjoy it as much as i do, if you have any questions feel free to email me at [email protected] please comment and rate!
