Tombstone
(N. Finn)

Bm              G
Look at all the plans I made
Bm                G         D
Falling down like scraps of paper
Bm                G              Em
I will leave them where they lie to remind me
Bm              G
From the past a rumour comes
Bm                G            D
Don't let it keep draggin' you down
Bm                     G
Throw the memory in an open fire
          Em
You'll be free

D             Asus4*  A
Roll back the tombstone
D                Asus4  A
Let the saints appear
D             Asus4 A
Roll back the tombstone
G              Em
Make a new man out of me

Beware the passenger
The train already left the station
We are neither at home nor at work
We are moving
Listen to the howling of steel
A face betraying no emotion
Like you never had a chance to be
Wild and free

Roll back the tombstone
Let the saints appear
Roll back the tombstone
Till the Lone Ranger rides again
G      A            D7sus4*
Rides again in your mind

D7sus4
Rode across the open plain

All the way

     and back again
