Intro: B-E-D (2x)
B
There's a bullet in the heart tonight
E D
in the heart of Texas
B
they shot it through their own backsides
E D
we are rolling home
B
they shot the angel in the flesh
E D
and now she won't protect us

we shot it to the friendly mass
E D
we are west, we're home
A D
raid the _______, the fort is empty
Bm
like in the films of Hollywood
A D
and the angels are descending
Bm F#m D
like Koresh said they would before too long
F#m B
sing our lone star song

(play B-E-D progression 1x)

B
They had him nailed up to a T
E D
with that T for Texas
B
his disciples with artillery
E D
they held the fort inside
B
and by the time our story broke
E D
(?)_______________
B
wheeled in a cloud of smoke
E D
around the T, dear god
A D
raid the ______, the fort is empty
Bm
like the films of Hollywood
A D
and the choppers are ascending
Bm F#m D
like ______ said they would before too long
F#m B
sing our lone star song
D
lone star song
A D
the south, words can't help
Bm D
but escape my mouth easy prey
A Bm
down the house, day upon day
G E
day upon day, day upon day

(play B-E-D progression 3x)

A D
raid the ______, the fort is empty
Bm
like in the films of Hollywood

with the crack of burning wood before too long

lone star song
