Queensrÿche – Promised Land (Guitar)

D5
Watching the sand fall, listening for the knock

        Bb
Upon my door

                   D5
And waiting... for Promised Land

Bb
Standing neck deep in life

                                    G5
My ring of brass lay rusting on the floor

        Bb
Is this all?

             C            D5     F  D5  F  Bb
Because it's not what I expected

D5
Somewhere along the way

                                   Bb
Friends I once held close fled the fast lane

                                      D5
I didn't notice, I just had to make it

     Bb
Head down, nose in the grindstone;

                              G5
The kiss of life placed on my brow

                    Bb
Kept slidin' to the ground

                    C          D5
And now it's buried six feet under

D5
Preaching from the floor again

D5
The same old sad song

                                  F           Bb      Gm
'Bartender... bring another drink for their favorite son.'

D5                  F
Where did it all go wrong?

D5                Gm
What's the use in even holding on?

D5                    F        D5 
Here's to love, hate, promises and lies

D5
Almost called it today

D5
Turned to face "The Void"

              Bb
Numb with the suffering

Bb
And the question

        D5
'Why am I...?'

Bb
So many times I've tried and failed to

Bb
Gather my courage, reach again for that nail

Gm   
Life's been like

                          Bb
Dragging feet through sand

             C                D5
And never finding my Promised Land

D5
Preaching from the floor again

             Gm
The same old sad song

    D5                            F           Bb      Gm
'Bartender... bring another drink for their favorite son.'

D5                  F
Where did it all go wrong?

D5              Gm
I feel like I'm dying

D5              F
Here's to love, here's to hate

D5      Gm               D5
To promises and Promised Land lies
