Standard (EADGBE)

play these chords

four times

He took off with the wild keys in the early mornin' grey

ridin' the desert for a million miles a day

And there ain't no barricades anymore

between the mountains and the very floor

Dark spot as he quizzed the neighbourhood

leavin' it all in a shadow of blood (he was...)

Chorus

Never seen, he was never heard

passin' by like a sleepin' bird

He took his time, when they shot him through the head

before he hit the floor the boy was cold and dead

one day someone is gonna plead against your name

he won't mark if you win or lose, or how you'll play the game

One day someone is gonna plead against your style

So uptight - he just can't take away your smile

he was

Chorus

Never seen, he was never heard \

play twice

passin' by like a sleepin' bird /

Dark spot as he quits the neighbourhood

leavin' it all in a shadow of blood

Solo

play the following chords twice):

Heartbeat's fadin' - pressure's goin' down

skin gets red - eyes start poppin' 'round

Chorus

Never seen, he was never heard \

play until the song fades out

passin' by like a sleepin' bird /
