Chords for The Departed perform "Flagpole" on The Texas Music Scene

_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[E] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [F] _ The departed has been making their mark on the Texas music scene since the band formed
in late 2010.
The first original album, Adventus, which is the Latin word for arrival, is just a name.
One of the heaviest rock tracks on that project [Bb] is the Cody Canada pen, [F] Flagpole.
Let's check it out.
Flagpole was, it really kicked off as an angry song.
[Eb] I tend to start things [F] angry.
And then I really kind of [Bb] forgot what the subject matter was.
And it kind of morphed into [C] what's going on around us right [F] now, you know?
We drop tuned it or dropped it down.
[Bb] I don't even know how to say that because I've never done it.
_ But half step, right?
Half [Fm] step down.
Yes, sir.
I've never done that.
But [C] once we started doing it, regular tuning, it was [F] like, well, let's practice it once
and move on.
It gets to a certain point where, yeah, it's kind of pushing it vocally for me.
[Eb] But I like being pushed [F] every now and then, you know?
But it also kind of sucks when you [C] really want to play it one night and just can't sing it.
There's some nights you just [F] do it anyway.
And it sounds like a donkey singing.

_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
Spiral the [Gb] crown of the dead in the well.
Take this can of the devil heart of England.
Tell me who I am and then he put me in a cell.
Slam your back more on me.
Every black [Bb] book is two stacks black [Gb] tied to the rail. _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] Leave your empire. _
[Gb] Be your field of gun.
_ [Db] Miss [Cm] my last [Bbm] river.
[Ab] _ [Eb] I can hammer in the nail.
[Gb] Together never fail.

[Ab] _ _ [Db] _ [Cm] Never fail [Bbm] together.

See what's on the road, what's on the street.
[Bb] That all the changes gonna come.
Ring a little bell.
Talkin' on your [Gb] TV.
Tell me how it's gonna be.
Sky's gonna fall.
Never really fail.
_ _ [Db] And it all comes crashing down right on top of you.
And it's no illusion.
[Bb] Tell me how your back gonna rub me.
Every black book is two stacks black [Gb] tied to the rail.
_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _
[Eb] You ain't the only one.
[Gb] Be your field of gun. _
[Db] Miss [Cm] my last [Bbm] river.
