There's a bullet in the heart tonight

In the heart of Texas

Hurray the holy war is ending

And the angels are descending
Bm F#m D
Like Koresh said they would before too long
F#m B
Sing our lone star song
They had him nailed up to a T
With a T for Texas
His disciples with artillery
They held the fort inside
And by the time the story broke
Down in Dealy Plaza
We already caught the smoke
Read the TV guide
Pray the holy war is ending
Like the films of Hollywood
And the choppers are descending
Like Marina said they would before too long
Sing our lone star song
D
Lone star song
A D
In the south, words they can't help
Bm D
But escape my mouth ????????
A Bm
Down the house, day upon day
G E
Day upon day, day upon day
Hurray the holy war is ending
Like in the films of Hollywood
And the trumpet's blast is blending
With the crack of burning wood before too long
Sing our lone Star song
D
Lone star song

Mockingbirds
A G D
Devastation at last, finally we meet
A G D
After all of these years out here in the street
A G D
I had a feeling you would make yourself known
A G D
You came along just to claim your place on the throne
Bm D
Now I have been overthrown, overthrown
A G F#
And I thought If I toed the right lines
A G F#
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
Devastation my door was left open wide
You brought me into your heart then you swallowed my pride
I had a feeling you were hiding your thoughts
I made a note to myself, I nearly forgot
Now I am overwrought, I'm overwrought
And I thought If I toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
And I thought If I toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
E A
One day this ground will break =20
E A F# B
and open up for me I hope it will, I hope it will=20

Salutations at last, I'm down on my knees

I heard the bugle this morn blast Revilie
E D A
Woke from a dream where I was in a terrible realm

All my sails were ablaze, I was chained to the helm
F# A
Now I am overwhelmed, I'm overwhelmed
E D C# A =20
And I thought if I toed the right lines

But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

If the life you have created
Has buried you in luxuries outdated
And you ask: "What is the purpose?"
Too weak to claw your way up to the surface
You resent all of your trophies
They belittle human spirit like a time piece
That is ticking in your breast pocket
And so you long to reach in and stop it
Then your heart, it will be broken
And every sour word that you have spoken
About everybody else
Will return to act upon yourself
If the life you have created=20
Is founded on jealousy and hatred
It=92s too late to ask questions
For you=92re much too old to take any suggestions
It=92s the life you have created
It=92s the life you have created
It=92s the life
It is the life
It is the life
It is the life
