 to the track for rhythm and timing.
Hauled  from the wreckage
Dragged  to the side of the road
There's  a man, standing alone
Live  by the moonlight
Blown  by the wind
Nothing  there, but the road in front of him
So  tear down the walls
Storm  through the barricades
There's  fight in every corner
And  a night to everyday
Drawn  here by circumstance
Led  here by fate
Some  kind of misunderstanding, Led the soul astray
Went  down on his knees
Reached  up to the skies
Said  Lord I followed your way, won't you show me mine
 2x):
So  tear down the walls
Storm  through the barricades
There's  fight in every corner
And  a night to everyday
 F Minor Pentatonic
They  say at night
You  hear him plead
With  the devil below, for his soul's release
 2x):
So  tear down the walls
Storm  through the barricades
There's  fight in every corner
And  a night to everyday
 F Minor Pentatonic
 That's the bare bones of it.
 Tips:
 You must listen to the song to get a feel for the song.
 The chorus is a choppy part where Davy alternates between downstrokes on the bottom
 and upstrokes on the top strings. Use chunky distortion to get the right sound.
 The F7 chord has a little slide in it from the third to the fourth fret during the choruses.
 In the verses, strum the chords and arpeggiate the top three strings.
 The verses are played with a delay-type pedal which and slight tremolo effects.
 For the solos, improvise dramatically.
 Have fun, this is a great, impressive song.
 PLEASE CHECK OUT BACK DOOR SLAM!
 DAVY KNOWLES IS NOT TO BE MISSED!!
