Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Working through death's pain
Last  night I swear I felt your touch
 Gentle and warm.  The hair stood on my arms
 How?
how?
how?
 Gm riff 1
 Show me the way, show me the way, show me the way
To  shake a memory
 Gm riff 2
 Show me the way, show me the way, show me the way
To  shake a memory
 I flipped  my forelock, I twitched my withers,  I reared and bucked
 riff 3
  I could not put my rider aground
 riff 3
  All these fine memories are fuckin' me down
 I dreamed  it was a dream that you were gone
 I woke  up feeling so ripped by reality
Love  is the king of the beasts
And  when it gets hungry it must kill  to eat
Love  is the king of the beasts
A  lion walking down  city streets
 I fell  back asleep some time  later on
 riff 3
  And I dreamed the perfect song
 riff 3
  It held all the answers, like hands laid on
 I woke  halfway and scribbled it down
 And  in the morning what I wrote I read
   riff 4
 It was hard to read at first but here's what it said
Eid  ma clack shaw
Zupoven  del ba
Mertepy  ven seinur
Cofally  ragdah
 Show me the way, show me the way, show me the way
 To shake a memory x2
 Eid ma clack shaw
 Zupoven del ba
 Mertepy ven seinur
 Cofally ragdah

[Abm]   How?     [F#]
[Abm]how?        [F#]
[Abm]how?        [F#]

G
Show me the way, show me the way, show me the way
[F#]To shake a [Ab]memory

G
Show me the way, show me the way, show me the way
[F#]To shake a [Ab]memory

I [Abm]flipped my forelock, I twitched my [F#]withers, I reared and [Abm]bucked       [F#]
[Ab]                            [C#m]          riff 3
     I could not put my rider aground
[Ab]                                         [C#m]            riff 3
    All these fine memories are fuckin' me down

I [Abm]dreamed it was a dream that you were [F#]gone
I [Abm]woke up feeling so ripped by [F#]reality

[Abm]Love is the king of the [F#]beasts
[Abm]And when it gets hungry it must [F#]kill to eat
[Abm]Love is the king of the [F#]beasts
[Abm]A lion walking [F#]down city streets

[Abm]   [F#]

I [Abm]fell back asleep some [F#]time later on
[Ab]                             [C#m]       riff 3
     And I dreamed the perfect song
[Ab]                                 [C#m]              riff 3
     It held all the answers, like hands laid on

I [Abm]woke halfway and scribbled it [F#]down
And[Abm] in the morning what I wrote I [F#]read
