A
Well they come and pull me from my house
D
And they drag my body through the streets
E D
And the sun’s so hot I think I’ll catch fire and burn up
A
in the summer air so moist and sweet
A
And the people all come out to cheer
D
Rocks in the pathway break my skin
E D
And there’s honeysuckle on the faint breeze today
A
With every breath I’m drawing in
F#m D
I want to cry out but I don’t scream and I don’t shout
A D
And I feel so proud to be alive
A E D
And I feel so proud to when the reckoning arrives
A D X2
A
Crowds grow denser by the second
D
As we near the center of the town
E D
And they dig a trench right in the main square right there
A
And they pick me up and throw me down
A
And I start laughing like a child
D
And I mark their faces one by one
E D
Transfigurations gonna come for me at last
A
And I will burn hotter than the sun
F#m D
I waited so long and now I taste jasmine on my tongue
A D
And I feel so proud to be alive
A E D
And I feel so proud when the reckoning arrives
A D X4
