Chords

[Tip] * When playing A chord (particulary in intro and outro) you are starting with an up stroke which I play as A7 and hammering on the second fret of G String to make the A on the down stroke.The strumming pattern can be picked up on the song. ** Theres a bit of switching between A F and G so it may be a idea to use bar chords as the switch is less fiddly or moving the "Fmaj7" shape up the fret board to play the G and A chord with the base note on A or D strings. [Intro] A [Verse 1]
A
The war was won, the battle over ran

    G                       F
The fire in the girl in the far east sun

    A
The rhythm was swift, the boys they were alive

           G                     F              A
There will always be a clue in a dead man's eye

A
Way out west on any avenue

   G                            F
We always find the girls in the high heel shoes

    A
The boys were shot, my father was a liar

           G                     F
There will always be a clue in a dead man's eye

G                     F
always be a clue in a dead man's eye

G                     F              A
always be a clue in a dead man's eye
[Chorus]
Bm                            A
 The winds were heavy and the boys were shot

Bm                           A
 The river was red, all the lives we lost

Bm           A                       Bm
 The devil encounters makes you feel damned

       E
To be alive
