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 /
