Song: Aces High (Chords)
--------------------
Listen to the song for timings, and work out your own strum pattern
depending on what style you're playing this. Fairly simple chords, but in
instrumental bits in the song, just play along and try to see what's happening.
* The little C C/B figure doesn't really appear in the song, it's a lead
keep playing Em for this bit.
[Intro]
F#m   D   E(x4)
(hold the E on the last repeat)
Am   F   G(x4)
[Verse 1]
EmThere goes the siren that warns of the Dair raid,
EmThen comes the sound of the guns sending Dflak.
EmOut for the scramble, we've got to get Dairborne,
EmGot to get up for the coming atDtack.
AmJump in the cockpit and start up the Gengines,
ReAmmove all the wheelblocks, there's no time to Gwaste.
AmGathering speed as we head down the Grunway,
AmGot to get airborne before it's too Glate.
[Pre-chorus]
