Am   D(7)   G   C   Cmaj7  (X 2)


Am           D(7)                 G
   If I was young, I'd flee this town
	      C     Cmaj7    Am
I'd bury my dreams under - ground
       D(7)            G             C  Cmaj7  Am
As did I, we drink to die, we drink to - night

Am        D(7)           G  
Far from home, elephant gun
                 C   Cmaj7  Am
Let's take them down one by one
              D(7)                 G             C  Cmaj7  Am   
We'll lay it down, it's not been found, it's not ar - ound


Am       D(7)      G          C  Cmaj7 Am
Let the seasons begin - it rolls right on
         D(7)      G              C  Cmaj7 Am
Let the seasons begin - take the big king down


Am       D(7)      G          C  Cmaj7 Am
Let the seasons begin - it rolls right on
         D(7)      G              C  Cmaj7 Am
Let the seasons begin - take the big king down


Am   D(7)   G   C   Cmaj7  (X 4)


Am     D(7)  G
    Oh oh oh oh 
   C  Cmaj7  Am 
Oh la la     la   
(X 4)


Am   D(7)   G   C   Cmaj7  (X 8)


Am                D(7)       G         C   Cmaj7   Am
   And it rips through the silence of our camp at night
              D(7)       G         C Cmaj7 Am
And it rips through the night  oh la la  la
              D(7)       G              C  Cmaj7 Am
And it rips through the silence of our camp at  night
              D(7)       G                    C     Cmaj7        Am
And it rips through the silence, all that is left is all that I hide


Am   D(7)   G   C   Cmaj7
