Another joker who's a rock and roll The faitthful image of......... The endless ocean of emotion I swam The shot troopers lying down... I wish they'd put an end to my running war You bought and sold me with.... The voices in the deck that you never heard Your folly finally got you..... A poisoned father with his poisonous son I beg you please don't let..... The anger I once had has turned to a curse All of the promises that ...... You're gonna get what is coming to you -------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------5-4--4-4/-5~-----------5-4--4-4/-5~---------------- -----4^(6)`4-----x-x--x-x--x------------x-x--x-x--x----------------- -----------------7-6--6-6/-7~-----------7-6--6-6/-7~---------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------2-----------------------2----------------------------- (Guitar 1) ------------x-x-----------------------x-x--------------------------- ------------2-2-----------------------2-2--------------------------- ------------3-3-----------------------3-3--------------------------- ------------4-4-----------------------4-4--------------------------- ------------4-4-----------------------4-4--------------------------- ------------4-2-{let the chord ring}--3-2-{let the chord ring}------ (Guitar 2) to run to you Just to you for you Yeah for you with you Yeah with you came through Yeah it came true that's you Yeah that's you on you Yeah curse you that's true Ahh, that's true ---x----------x-x------x----x---x--x--x----------------------------------x----- ---x----------x-x------x----x---x--x--x----------------------------------x----- ---2----------2-2------2----4---1--1--1----------------------------------4----- ---2----------2-2------2----4---2--2--2------------------------------(4)-4----- ---0----------0-0------0----2---2--2--2-------------------------------0--2----- ---x--2-0-2h4-x-x------x----x---0--0--0----------------------------------x----- (Guitar 1) ---x--------------------x---x---x--x--x----------------------------------x----- ---5--------------------5---7---x--x--x----------------------------------x----- ---6--------------------6---8---1--1--1----------------------------------4----- ---7--------------------7---9---2--2--2------------------------------(4)-4----- ---7--------------------7---9---2--2--2-------------------------------0--2----- (0)5-{strum}------------5---7---0--0--0----------------------------------x----- (Guitar 2) Are you metal, are you man?
