 [Bm]There's a bullet in the heart tonight

 [E]In the heart o[D]f Texas

?[Bm]?????????????????

H[A]urray the holy war is ending      [D]

 [Bm]Like in the films of Hol[A]lywood

A[D]nd the angels are descending

 [Bm]Like Koresh said they w[F#m]ould before too long      [D]

 [F#m]Sing our lone star [B]song

They had him nailed up to a T
With a T for Texas
His disciples with artillery
They held the fort inside
And by the time the story broke
Down in Dealy Plaza
We already caught the smoke
Read the TV guide

Pray the holy war is ending
Like the films of Hollywood
And the choppers are descending
Like Marina said they would before too long
Sing our lone star song

L[D]one star song

I[A]n the south, words they can't[D] help

 [Bm]But escape my mouth ????????  [D]

 [A]Down the house, day u[Bm]pon day

 [G]Day upon day, day upon [E]day

Hurray the holy war is ending
Like in the films of Hollywood
And the trumpet's blast is blending
With the crack of burning wood before too long
Sing our lone Star song

 [D]Lone star song

 Lone star=20

Mockingbirds

D[A]evastatio[G]n at last, finally we me[D]et

A[A]fter all o[G]f these years out here in the [D]street

I[A] had a feeling[G] you would make yourself kno[D]wn

Y[A]ou came along just [G]to claim your place on the throne     [D]

N[Bm]ow I have been overth[D]rown, overthrown

A[A]nd I thought If[G] I toed the right lin[F#]es

B[A]ut thes[G]e mockin[F#]gbirds won't let me shine

Devastation my door was left open wide
You brought me into your heart then you swallowed my pride
I had a feeling you were hiding your thoughts
I made a note to myself, I nearly forgot
Now I am overwrought, I'm overwrought

And I thought If I toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
And I thought If I toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

O[E]ne day this ground will br[A]eak =20

If the life you have created
Has buried you in luxuries outdated
And you ask: "What is the purpose?"
Too weak to claw your way up to the surface
You resent all of your trophies
They belittle human spirit like a time piece
That is ticking in your breast pocket
And so you long to reach in and stop it
Then your heart, it will be broken
And every sour word that you have spoken
About everybody else
Will return to act upon yourself

If the life you have created=20
Is founded on jealousy and hatred
It=92s too late to ask questions
For you=92re much too old to take any suggestions

It=92s the life you have created
It=92s the life you have created
It=92s the life
It is the life
It is the life
It is the life
