_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I salute you Christopher
_ _ I salute your [G#] _
life
_ _ How [F#] you played the dice
_ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ Your words will live in us
_ _ _ Timelessly [G#] _ insane
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] Explosive, fresh and wise
_ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ Some will just forget _ _
Some will close their [G#] _ _
eyes
_ Some will [F#] turn the tide
_ _ _ [C#] _ _
I salute you Christopher _ _ _
_ Whiskey raised and [G#] _ _ _
downed
You risked and you [F#] took the crown
_ _ _ [C#] Console _ _ _ _ yourselves
That a scientific death is better [G#] than a fairy tale
_ Of [F#] the eternal life
_ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ [C#] Control yourselves
Cause the man in the sky is a tyrant and a lonely [G#] psychopath _
_ _ _ Dreamed up [F#] to steal your mind
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
A horseman on a trial _
A brilliant, gentle [G#] _ wreck _
With a brutal [F#] mouth for prayers
_ _ _ _ [C#] No submit, no compromise
_ _ Saint Christopher loves the [G#] truth
_ _ And I destroy what [F#] most means in three _
_ [C#] They will learn to see in time
They will think before they [G#] know
_ _ _ _ The [F#] civilisation _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#] _ I salute you Christopher _
I declare you as [G#] our _ king
_ Or [F#] queen, depending on your _ mood _ _ _
