Bm
There's a bullet in the heart tonight
E D
In the heart of Texas
Bm
??????????????????
E D
We are rolling home
Bm
They shot the angel in mid flight
E D
And now she won't protect us
Bm
They shot it to the friendly mass
E D=20
We are westward, ho
=20
A D
Hurray the holy war is ending
Bm A
Like in the films of Hollywood
D
And the angels are descending
Bm F#m D
Like Koresh said they would before too long
F#m B
Sing our lone star 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
D
Lone star song
A D
In the south, words they can't help
Bm D
But escape my mouth ????????
A Bm
Down the house, day upon day
G E
Day upon day, day upon 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
Outro: Bm E D
