Intro: C5  A5  E5  E5

C5      A5          E5
Once I wanted to be the greatest
C5          A5              E5
No wind of waterfall could stall me
    F5             D5     
And then came the rush of the flood
G5
Stars of night turned deep to dust


        C5
Melt me down
     A5                E5
Into big black armour
         C5        A5
Leave no trace of grace
             E5
Just in your honour
         C5
Lower me down
    A5             E5
To culprit south

Make 'em wash a space in town
         F5
For the lead
        D5
And the dregs of my bed
          G5
I've been sleepin'
         F5
Lower me down
       D5
Pin me in
           G5
Secure the grounds
                     C5     A5    E5
For the later parade


C5      A5           E5
Once I wanted to be the greatest
C5            A5    E5
Two fists of solid rock
C5           A5   
With brains that could explain
    E5
Any feeling
         F5
Lower me down
       D5
Pin me in
           G5
Secure the grounds
        F5
For the lead
        D5
And the dregs of my bed
          G5
I've been sleepin'
                  C5   A5   E5
For the later parade


C5      A5           E5
Once I wanted to be the greatest
C5          A5              E5
No wind of waterfall could stall me
    F5             D5
And then came the rush of the flood
G5                              
Stars of night turned deep to dust
F5   D5   G5
