G5                                     B5
He took off with the wild keys in the early mornin' grey 
A5                       F#5
ridin' the desert for a million miles a day
G5                       B5
And there ain't no barricades anymore 
A5                            F#5
between the mountains and the very floor

G5               D5                    A5
Dark spot as he quizzed the neighbourhood 
G5                  D5          A5
leavin' it all in a shadow of blood (he was...)

Chorus:
D5                  G5     D5     A5
Never seen, he was never heard 
D5                G5         D5   A5
passin' by like a sleepin' bird

G5                                                 B5
He took his time, when they shot him through the head
A5                                  F#5 
before he hit the floor the boy was cold and dead 
G5                         B5 
one day someone is gonna plead against your name 
A5                                    F#5
he won't mark if you win or lose, or how you'll play the game
G5                        D5                  A5
One day someone is gonna plead against your style
G5                          D5               A5
So uptight - he just can't take away your smile
he was

G5               D5                    A5

skin gets red - eyes start poppin' 'round
