Chords for Dermot Kennedy - The Killer Was A Coward lyrics

_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ You see the [Gm] killer [Bb] was a coward
_ _ _ [Gm] dark deeds in [C] dark towers
_ _ [Bb] So he [Gm] fled when they [C] came
_ _ [Bb] _ Blowing [Gm] brass [Bb] carrying chains _ _
They wanna lock him in the dark. _ _ _
They [Gm] wanna kill what's in [Bb] his heart _
_ And they left the town to hunt him down
_ _ _ They left one man to hold it down
_ _ _ But when they [Gm] get back, he's [C] in the throne
_ _ _ Looks like the killers fucking clone
_ _ [Bbm] Says he's [Gm] got ideas of [C] his own
_ _ [F] _
But there's [Gm] one thing he killed [F] to know _ _ _
[F] See, [Gm] there's a hero in the [C] crowd _ _
_ [Bb] _ [Gm] and his heart starts beating [C] loud
_ _ [Bb] _ Says the killer took his friend and _ _ [Gm] decides that this is where it [Bb] ends
_ _ _ [F] So the night [Gm] the Kings walk [C] in the tower
_ _ [Bbm] His eyes [G] lit up with [F] all the power
_ _ [Bbm] And the [Gm] heroes ghosting [Bb] by the guards _ _ _
[F] and his [Gm] heart it's carrying [C] a charge _
_ He [Gm] stabs him in his [C] cunning heart _
_ _ [F] the [G] scream tore sea and sky [C] _
apart
_ [Bbm] So [Gm] you want fears?
We've still [F] got several
_ _ _ [G] At least the killers dancing with the [C] devil _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And the hero did [Bb] it for [Gm] days when you don't know if [F] the moon will even come and then it
Lays [Gm] down and I'm telling you [C] man, it's sweet when it does when [Bb] I
Think [Gm] of you.
I [C] think of spirit to find [Bbm] I think of all the love that [Gm] we shared [C] in a very dark time _
[G] So the hero did it for [F] the summer
for _ _ long [Gm] days with that
Sun in your hair
_ [F] for [Gm] fires and family
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ For the [Gm] phrase don't [F] ever leave me _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] Sorrow won't be finding [F] me no more
_ [Bb] _ Sorrow [Gm] be finding [F] me no more
_ [Bb] _ Sorrow [Gm] won't be finding me [F] no more when you come in [Bb] home now
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
