_ [Db] _ The [Ab] iron hand _ it ain't no [Eb] match _ _

_ [Fm] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ [Db] _ The [Ab] strongest wall _
[Db] [Ab] Will [Eb] crumble and fall _ _
to [Db] a mighty [Ab] _ God
_ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ For all those [Ab] who have eyes
[Db] And all those who [Ab] have ears
_ [Fm] It is [Ab] only he _ [Db] who can reduce [Ab] me [Eb] to _ _ _ _ tears _ _ _ _
_ Don't _ _ [Db] _ _ _
[Ab] you cry _ and _ don't [Eb] you die _ [Bbm] and
[Db] Don't you [Ab] _ burn?
_ [Db] _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Db] Well like a thief [Ab] in the night
_ He'll replace [Eb] wrong with right _ When [Db] he _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Db] [Eb] Returns
_ [Ab] _
_ [Bbm] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
[Ab] Truth is an arrow _ and the gate is narrow
[Eb] _ _ That [Db] it passes _ [Ab] through
_ _ [Db] He _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
unleashed [Ab] his power _ [Db] [Bb] at an _ [Eb] unknown hour
_ That [Db] no _ [Ab] one knew
_ _ [Db] _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Fm] _ How [Ab] long can I listen to [Db] the lies [Eb] of prejudice
[Ab] _ _ _ [Fm] How long can I [Ab] stay drunk on beer [Db] out in the [Ab] _
[Eb] wilderness _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Get _ _ _ _ _ [Db] a cast it [Abm] aside
[Ab] _
All [Eb] this loyalty and this pride _
Will [Db] I ever _ [Ab] learn? _
_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ [Db] _ [Ab] _ _
That [Db] there'll be no peace
[Ab] _ _
That the world [Eb] won't cease _ _ _ [Db] until he [Ab] _ _ returns
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ Surrender your [Ab] crown on this blood-stained [Eb] ground _ _
[Bbm] Take off your [Ab] _ mask
_ [Db] [Ab] He _ [Bbm] _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ sees [Ab] your deeds
He knows your [Eb] needs
_ Even _ [Db] before you [Ab] _ ask
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ [Fm] How long can [Ab] you fall survive and [Db] deny [Ab] what is real? _ _
_ [Fm] How long can [Ab] you hate yourself [Db] for the weakness [Ab] you [Eb] can see? _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Eb] _ _ [Db] Of every _ _
[Ab] Athlete man that be known to [Eb] man _ He _ [Db] is _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Db] Unconcerned _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [Db] He's got _ plans of [Ab] his own
_ To set up his throne [Eb] _ _ when [Db] _ he _ [Ab] returns
