              Intro Bbm 
 
Bbm 
Hey, hey, little wanderer 
Bbm 
You walked the fields 
                     Ab 
With all the fences down 
Ebm                              Bbm 
You never knew the scent of the predator 
Bbm                               Ab 
You didn't know the house was on fire 
    Ebm     Gb7M 
And so you worked 
       Bbm 
As you should 
           Db                 F7 
While they preyed on all you ached for 
         Gb7M 
And they pounced 
        Bbm 
As they would 
          Db            F7 
While the guards were away 
                  Bbm 
Oh oh, oh oh, woh oh 
 
Bbm 
Hey, hey, you marauders 
Bbm                                   Ab 
You got away while they claim I am a liar 
Ebm 
Why aren't the gods 
                 Bbm 
And heroes all around me 
    Bbm 
And everyone's turning 
                   Ab 
Their eyes to the ground 
    Ebm     Gb7M 
And so you strike 
           Bbm 
While it's hot 
          Db              F7 
While the barricades are broken 
         Gb7M 
You at - tacked 
        Bbm 
At your will 
          Db             F7 
While all the locks are frayed 
 
Oh oh, oh oh, woh oh 
                     Bbm 
Ooh, ooh, aah-aah ah ah 
 
Bbm 
Hey, hey, you denier 
Bbm                             Ab 
Finally everyone is gathering 'round me 
Ebm 
Now that we all know better 
           Bbm 
You'll be haunted 
  Bbm 
I hope you enjoy these drawings 
         Ab 
In your jail 
    Ebm 
And so 
Gb7M            Bbm 
Brace, brace yourself 
         Db         F7 
For this reckoning day 
      Gb7M 
I was once 
     Bbm 
At a loss 
      Db            F7 
Now I stand at the gate 
 
              Gb7M  Bbm  Gb7M 
Oh oh, oh oh, oh   oh 
Bbm  Gb7M    Bbm    Gb7M  Bbm 
Oh  oh    oh     oh
