Am            Fmaj7
All gone, all gone
                                   Dm
Watching it go up out front on the lawn
                    C        Am
Stay on my feet somehow, I’m strong now
      Dm        G
Stuck there, no air

Am Fmaj7 x2

Head high, head high
Tongues of fire that reach up for the sky
Rise through the smoke, the dust of the grave
I will be saved

F             C
Pause in mid-stride
F             C
Pause in mid-stride
C/B          Am         G         Fmaj7
And ride, and ride, and ride, and ride

Am Fmaj7 x2

Burn hard, burn hard
Smoldering pieces landing in the yard
Trace names in ash, big names
Old friends, and dead ends

Bm             C
Those last few frames
Bm         C
Go down so fast
Bm               C
Rise through the flames
           Em              F
And end again in flames at last

Am Fmaj7 x2

Stay free, stay free
Invisible armies march by night for me
Stay on my guard, burn hard
Rage on, all gone

Pause in mid-stride
Pause in mid-stride
And ride, and ride, and ride, and ride
