TUNING: Eb  
AmCome on down and Gmeet your mAmaker
GCome on Emdown and make the Stand
AmOh, I have been out searching
With this bGlack book in my Amhand
AmAnd I've looked between the lines that lie on the Gpages
That I've Amtread
AmI met the walking dude, religious in his wGorn down cowboy Amboots
AmHe walked liked no man on earth I Gswear he had no name
GSwear he had no name
CHORUS:
AmCome on down and Gmeet your Ammaker
GCome on Emdown and Fmaj7make the GStand
Fmaj7Come on doGwn, come on dowEmn
Come on Fmaj7down we'll make the StaAmnd
As I crawled beneath the searchlights 
Looking through the floorboards of this life
I met doctor Strangeloves cousin 
He bore the marks of time 
"Hey! Trashcan, where you going boy 
Your eyes are feet apart 
Is that the end you're carrying 
Shall I play the funeral march?"
Play the funeral march
REAPEAT CHORUS:
When I looked out the window on the hardship that had struck 
I saw the seven phials open the plague claimed man and son 
Four men at a grave in silence got their hats bowed down in grace 
A simple wooden cross had no epitaph engraved
No Epitaph engraved
REPEAT CHORUS:
Come roll out the red carpet come bugler sound the horn
For the hero is returning gotta welcome him to his home
Don't say I didn't warn you this prophesy is coming true
I can hear the cavalry thundering
Riding over the hill, riding over the hill

Come roll out the red carpet come bugler sound the horn

For the hero is returning gotta welcome him to his home

Don't say I didn't warn you this prophesy is coming true

I can hear the cavalry thundering

Riding over the hill, riding over the hill
