Two Knocks

aeseaes


Tom: Bm

Bm        D           A    G
cold fire tonight and head slow 
Bm              D               A    G
ironed eyes and lead to hide the gallows 
  Bm       D       A   G
the crowd’s stoned out on 
Bm             D            A   G
bottles in the back and the red rope 
Bm             D            A   G
bottles in the back and the red rope 

[Chorus]
     Bm       D    A  G
I-ii-iiii shot him down 
   Bm             D           A       G
two knocks at the door and he hit the ground 
   Bm     D           A      G
one last breath, well i suppose 

Bm      D        A     G
          and the beat goes      (x4)

[Interlude]
Bm D A G (x2)

[Verse 2]
   Bm        D                 A      G
on broken strangers filled with blind hope 
Bm                     D               A    G
perched the thing with feathers made of red smoke
      Bm   D      A    G 
as the sun bleeds down on 
 Bm      D                     A      G
all the tangled rivers and the loaded guns 
 Bm      D                     A      G
all the tangled rivers and the loaded guns 

[Chorus]
     Bm       D    A  G
I-ii-iiii shot him down 
   Bm             D           A       G
two knocks at the door and he hit the ground 
   Bm     D           A      G
one last breath, well i suppose 

Bm      D        A     G
          and the beat goes      (x3)

[Interlude]
Bm D A G (x2)

[Verse 3]
  Bm         D            A     G
the sun goes black as the cello plays 
           Bm         D                    A       G
the kind of cinematic swell that makes the critics say
  Bm     D    A    G
if only-yyy we had made 
   Bm            D                A     G
something out of nothing before a quiet grave
   Bm            D                A     G
something out of nothing before a quiet grave

[Chorus]
     Bm       D    A  G
I-ii-iiii shot him down 
   Bm             D           A       G
two knocks at the door and he hit the ground 
   Bm     D           A      G
one last breath, well i suppose 

Bm      D        A     G
          and the beat goes      (x4) (fading) (end on the G)
