A5   G5               D5
Devastation at last finally we meet
A5     G5                      D5
After all of these years out here in the street
A5     G5                   D5
I had a feeling you would make yourself known
A5        G5                   D5
You came along just to claim your place on the throne
                B5          F#5
Now I have been overthrown, overthrown


A5             G5                   D5
And I thought If I told the right lines
                 A5     G5            D5
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

Devastation my door was left open wide

You brought me into your heart then you swallowed my pride

I had a feeling you were hiding your thoughts

I made a not to myself, I merely forgot

Now I am overwrought, I'm overwrought

And I thought If I told the right lines

But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And I thought If I told the right lines

But these mockingbirds won't let me shine


E5                       F#5
One day this ground will break  
E5              F#5               B5
and open up for me I hope it will I hope it will 

[solo see below]

Salutations at last, I'm down on my knees
I hear the bugle this morn blast Revile
Woke from a dream where I was in a terrible realm
All my sails were ablaze, I was chained to helm
Now I am overwhelmed, I'm overwhelmed

And I thought If I told the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
And I thought If I told the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
