[Verse 1]
GmBbDm History so strong
History so strong History so strong 
GmBbD7 Sing another drinking song the honky tonk will do
GmBbDm Make another breaking bomb your favorite ingénue
GmBbD This the distant dawn
GmBbD7 This the distant dawn
 [Pre-Chorus]
GmBb I put my cards up on the table - I do this speak cause I am able
One pixie's broken down devotion - I threw my pistol in the ocean 
EbCm Eyes wide with revelation Shine at the police station
DD7 And when the verdict comes round - I'm sure that you will go down
 [Chorus] (x4)
EbFGm Stay all night, we'll save the population...
 [Verse 2] 
GmBbD Pistol and its pawn
Sail it through the lexicon Blood and borderlines be drawn 
GmBbD Take another bottle down the brothel and the shrew
Make another awful sound, a rather gothic brew 
GmBbD History so strong
History so strong [Pre-Chorus]
GmBb I put my cards up on the table - I do this speak cause I am able
One pixie's broken down devotion - I threw my pistol in the ocean 
EbCm Eyes wide with revelation Shine at the police station
DD7 And when the verdict comes round - I'm sure that you will go down
EbFGm
