Megadeth - Of Mice And Men chords
Start Jamming...
Fire burns on, out and on that drives me on
Till all except the simple cry
Yeah
[D]
[B] [F#]
[D]
[B] [F#]
Back when I [D] was just seventeen
I thought that [B] I knew everything
I'd make it [F#] in this scene
To be a rising [D] star that only gleams
But all the [B] answers disagree
With the questions [F#] held for me
I was legal [D] now at twenty-one
I knew the [B] way the world should run
My guts [F#] look what I have done
Simply [D] drunk and having fun
Looking for [B] friends but I found none
All [F#] alone at twenty -one
[C#] Fire burns [C#m] on, out and on that [Bm] drives me on
[B] Till all except [C#] the simple [A] cry Yeah
Fire burns [C#] on, out and on that [B] drives me on
Till all except
[C#] the simple cry
[A] [C#m] Yeah
[F#]
At twenty [D]-five I was surprised
I was [B] even half alive
Somehow I [F#] managed to survive
My [D] body's doing time
In my back [B] lock hundred knives
I'll find my [F#] friends at twenty-five
And now as day breaks [D] I'll have my warning bell
I'll buy your [B] life if you sell
A year will [F#] do and that's the bill
So live your [D] life and live it well
There's not much left [B] of me to tell
I just got back up, [F#] it's time I fell
[Em] [C#] Fire [Bm] burns on, out and on that drives me on
Till all except [B] [C#m] the simple cry
[A] Yeah
Fire burns [C#m] on, out and on that [B] drives me on
Till all except [C#] the simple cry
[E]
Yeah
[F#] [F#]
[A] [B] [D]
[C#m] [F#] [B] Drives me on
Don't [C#] exist
But the simple cry [A] Yeah
[C#m] Fire burns on, out and on that [B] drives me on
Till all except the [C#] simple cry [A] Yeah
[C#m] Fire burns on, out and on that [Bm] drives me on
Till all except [C#] the simple cry Yeah
[E] Fire burns on, out and on that drives me on Yeah
