D5 I had jade colored eyes That shimmered in the sun If you stared at them too long You'd catch a glimpse of what I'd done The faces of the damned And all the butchered lambs If I had to do it over I just would've done it slower Bb5 G5 When we meet you will see D5 I will destroy everything of beauty Bb5 G5 When we meet then you'll know D5 I'll be the axe that clears the forest D5 When I had my fill and tasted every kill There was nothin' left to do Bb5 G5 But bow out of this world I heard tell of a place Where the dead walk tall and proud Where men like me were needed Bb5 G5 To thin the growing crowd G5 D5 Deep below the dunes I roved G5 D5 Past the rows past the rows G5 D5 Beside the acacias freshly in bloom Bb5 G5 D5 I send men to their doom this part is played using these two chords e | 1 1 b | 3 3 G | 2 3 D | 0 0 D5 Bb5 I spent those days runnin' hard and fast With no place to lay my head The sound of the rain against the roof Was loud enough to wake the dead And my legs were tired and my feet were cold But all I could do was get back on the road D5 So I came upon a shanty town Full of bitter men Where carved into a crude wood sign It read 'welcome to the end' For a dollar you could buy a girl Of every possible design But you couldn't find one decent man Or a word spoken kind Bb5 Whiskey was for supper G5 A man couldn't ask for better! Bb5 G5 When we meet you will see D5 I will destroy everything of beauty Bb5 G5 When we meet then you'll know D5 I'll be the axe that clears the forest I spent those days huntin' hard and fast With no place to lay my head And the sound of the rain against the roof Was loud enough to wake the dead And my legs were tired and my feet were cold But all I could do was get back on the road We were left alone left alone Every king on his lonely throne We were left alone left alone Every king on his lonely throne
