[Chorus]
G#mMy mountain is a mole hill, my throne's a busted chair
This F#crown has turned to rust and it's all tangled in my hair
This hC#migh horse that I ride on is gonna buckle at the knee
Upon my G#mcastle made of Bsand I cannot C#mbe the F#king of G#mme
[Verse 1]
G#mThere's the man in white, his words are painted red
There's F#power in his blood and only truth in what is said
There's the C#mman in black with a needle in his vein
Lying G#mflat upon his bBack this is the pC#mrayer tF#hat he G#monce prayed
[Chorus]
He said,
My G#mmountain is a mole hill, my throne's a busted chair
This crF#own has turned to rust and it's all tangled in my hair
This high hoC#mrse that I ride on is gonna buckle at the knee
Upon my cG#mastle made of sBand I cannot C#mbe the F#king oG#mf me
[Verse 2]
And this F#harem in my heart is filled with hot metal and fools G#mgold
Once your F#statue turns to dirt all that's left in the end is your C#msoul
God save your sD#moul
[Interlude]

So he said G#mshout out Eof conBtrol with G#mall your hEeart and Bsoul
Though thG#mis cold woErld may tBear you Eapart
G#mLet the whole world know
[Chorus]
G#mMy mountain is a mole hill, my throne's a busted chair
This F#crown has turned to rust and it's all tangled in my hair
This hC#migh horse that I ride on is gonna buckle atthe knee
Upon my G#mcastle made of Bsand I cannot C#mbe the F#king of G#mme
[Chorus]
G#mMy mountain is a mole hill, my throne's a busted chair
This F#crown has turned to rust and it's all tangled in my hair
This hC#migh horse that I ride on is gonna buckle at
