Well they come and pull me from my Ahouse
And they drag my body through the Dstreets
And the sun’s so hot I think I’ll Ecatch fire and Dburn up
in the summer air so moist and Asweet
And the people all come out to Acheer
Rocks in the pathway break my Dskin
And there’s honeysuckle on the Efaint breeze Dtoday
With every breath I’m drawing Ain
I want to F#mcry out but I don’t Dscream and I don’t shout
And I feel Aso proud to be Dalive
And I feel Aso Eproud to when the Dreckoning arrives
   A   DX2
Crowds grow denser by the Asecond
As we near the center of the Dtown
And they dig a trench right in the Emain square right Dthere
And they pick me up and throw me Adown
And I start laughing like a Achild
And I mark their faces one by Done
Transfigurations gonna Ecome for me at Dlast
And I will burn hotter than the Asun
I waited F#mso long and now I taste Djasmine on my tongue
And I feel Aso proud to be Dalive
And I feel Aso Eproud when the Dreckoning arrives
   A   DX4
Finish on A

Well they come and pull me from my house

And they drag my body through the streets

E D

And the sun’s so hot I think I’ll catch fire and burn up

in the summer air so moist and sweet

And the people all come out to cheer

Rocks in the pathway break my skin

E D

And there’s honeysuckle on the faint breeze today

With every breath I’m drawing in

F#m D

I want to cry out but I don’t scream and I don’t shout

A D

And I feel so proud to be alive

A E D

And I feel so proud to when the reckoning arrives

A D

Crowds grow denser by the second

As we near the center of the town

E D

And they dig a trench right in the main square right there

And they pick me up and throw me down

And I start laughing like a child

And I mark their faces one by one

E D

Transfigurations gonna come for me at last

And I will burn hotter than the sun

F#m D

I waited so long and now I taste jasmine on my tongue

A D

And I feel so proud to be alive

A E D

And I feel so proud when the reckoning arrives

Finish on A
