  Verse 1


             Gm           D/F#

  I hold out hope, But it stalls 

  
  Bb/F#             C7            Gm/Bb               D7        Gm        D
  
  Soon, the last curtain falls, A hundred years of past has spoken 


                Gm             D/F#      Bb/F      C7

  All the great warriors , Are sewn into history's flag 


         Gm/Bb                 D7                Gm        D

  Like a book of the seven seals , Of the hero's past 


          Gm      D/F#         Bb/F              C7

  Through fires, revolutions , Dust storms and conclusions 


           Gm/Bb         D7                 Gm        D

  Will the show go on tonight? For one more time?



  Verse 2


         Gm        D/F#

  I fight on, Fight on, 

  
          Bb/F              C7           Gm/Bb                    D7
  
  I'm the last matador of Bayonne, For tomorrow this place falls 


        Gm          D

  Into silence...

  Bb/F                       C7     Gm/Bb                   D7

  Say one more prayer for my family , Like a ship without a sail 


       Gm        D
  
  Cast adrift 


          Gm        D/F# 
 
  I fight on, Fight on 

          
           Bb/F               C7      Gm/Bb            D7

  I'm the last matador of Bayonne , A hundred years of past 


          Gm        D

  Now are gone

  This is one of my favorite songs off of Joe Bonamassa's Dustbowl album. I 
haven't seen any proper tabs for it
  so i thought id tab it out for people who enjoy it as much as i do, if you have 
any questions feel free to email 
  me at christophmac@hotmail.co.uk    please comment and rate!
