Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro riff

 When the cavalry clears

 And the limbs of our peers

 Lay around us like sticks in the mud

 We'll say to ourselves,

 "Where's the heaven in this hell?

 We're on a ladder without any rungs"

 With the ash of our friends in our lungs

(Repeat intro riff, end on Esus4

 That's enough about the war

 How's my dear Eleanor?

 Have you heard back from William or Kate?

 Are you getting your shakes

 From lack of sleep as of late?

 And my breath always reeks of escape

 I'll be home soon, and hopefully safe

A|--6\---2-4-----| end on A5

 If you love me, you won't make a scene

 When I get home, please just leave me be

 If you love me, then don't make a scene

 When I get home, please just leave me be

A|--6\---2-4-----| end on A5

Piano solo

, , x3, end on

 Twenty years to the day

 The tavern's closed and some say

 They only saved us from missing our lives

 He was buried away to

 The ground and the blame

 That Eleanor kept stored away

 And his breath always reeked of escape
