I'm Sean James.
I'm here on tour throughout Europe and I'm gonna play you
guys a song written by a very good friend of mine.
He was stationed in
Afghanistan for two years and wrote [F] this after [E] going through everything [Eb] there
waiting to come back to the [F] States.
This one's called [Gb] Eating Like [Eb] Kings.

Well I've let the sun set [C]
365 [G] times with her running deep in [Am] my heart.
And when I [C] didn't directly pull the trigger, [G] I sure as hell played my [Am] own card.
Cause you know that it's [C] the snake eat snake [G] world we slither and [Am] serpentine through.
Yeah we all took a bite [C] and 6,000 years later, [G] the snappers get all of [Am] that shoo.
Said
[C] the light [G]
boys were eating [Am] like kings.
[C] Cause we've all [G] tasted death too much [Am] it seems.
[C] Yeah the light [G]
boys were [Am] eating like kings.
Well it's been a few years [Em] [C] and a couple hundred sunsets.
[G] And I fired a rifle [Am] in rage.
A dozen leather couches [C] in substance filled [G] pouches.
Still I can't fully [Am] turn the page.
Cause you know that it's [C] the snake eat snake [G] world we slither and [Am] serpentine through.
Yeah we all took a bite [C] and 6,000 years later, [G] the snappers get all [Am] of that shoo.
[C] Oh said the [G] light boys were eating [Am] like kings.
[C] Cause we've all [G] tasted death too much [Am] it seems.
[C] Yeah the light [G]
