5. LONE STAR SONG

Intro:

Comments:
1. The slide in the Intro and in the Solo should be played
very quick and sound practically as one note.

Verse 1:

          B5                                 E5       D5
There's a bullet in the heart tonight in the heart of Texas
B5                                 E5     D5
Shout it to the Dallasites we are rolling home
      B5                                     E5       D5
They shot an angel in mid-flight and now she won't protect us
B5                                 E5      D5
Shout it to the bedlamites we are westward ho

Chorus:

A                      D
  Pray the holy war is ending
            Bm             A
Like in the films of Hollywood
                       D
And the angels are descending (important important)
       Bm
Like Koresh had said

Verse 2:

     B5                             E5     D5
They had him nailed up to a T with a T for Texas
       B5                                  E5     D5
His disciples with artillery they held the fort inside
    B5                                  E5     D5
And by the time the story broke down at Dealey Plaza
B5                                      E5  D5
We've already caught the smoke read the TV guide

Chorus:

A                      D
  Pray the holy war is ending (ending)
          Bm            A
Like the films of Hollywood
                        D
And the choppers are descending (easy words easy words)
        Bm
Like MA Reno said
     F#m               D
They would before too long

Words that can't help
      Bm(7)
But escape my mouth
           D              A
When they bring down the house
         B5
Day upon day
         G5
Day upon day
         E5
Day upon day
