 Eb(668786)
Got struck by the first volley
BbOf the war in the courtsG

Never held my serve
 Eb(high)                          Eb(low)
Send'em a wire, give'em my best
cuBbz ammunition never restsG  
BbNo one serves coffee, no one wEbakes up
EbStop breathin'
BbStop breathin'
                      G   Eb(low)
