When the stars shine bright through the engine's trail 
         F       Am             Dm

There's a cross once hung 'round a soldier's neck 
          F           Am        Dm
There's a man's faith died on Serenity's floor 
      F        Am                       Dm
But I stood my ground and I'll fly once more

It's the last oath that I ever swore 
 
D             C             G               D      A

When you see a man and he's standin' alone 
         F          Am                   Dm

And there's worse than wolves in the borderland dark 
         D                 C
From the savage men to the government hounds
       F           Am        Dm 
Try to take what's yours and tear you through

You can't take the sky from me 
            D                         C
When you've walked my road and you've seen what I've seen 
         F        Am             Dm

You won't see no tears when I say goodbye 
           F                    Am  Dm
