Verse 1
The Phoenix
Intro
[G7] [C/G] [G] [C/G] [G7] [G]
{Verse 1]
The sun was[C/G] red,[G] and the fires were[A7sus4] [Am7]roarin',
[C/D]Stars aligned and the webs were [C/G]spun.[G]
I coulda sworn I [C]heard my [D/C]spirit [G]soarin'[Am7]
Guess I'm always [G]chasin' the [C]sun,
Hopin' [G]we will soon be [C]one
Until it [Bm7]turns [Cmaj7]around to [C/D]me
Then I [C/E]try to [C/G]run [G][C/G]......[G]
{Verse 2]
On phosphorous [C/G]wings[G] the Phoenix [A7sus4]floated[Am7]
[C/D] The fires froze and the sea was [C/G]hushed[G]
And when I tried to [C]speak, the[D/C] sun [G]imploded[Am7]
And the war will [G]wage in my [C]guts,
Till the [G]devil bites the [C]dust,
I never [Bm7]saw him [Cmaj7]losin' a [C/D]race,
But I [C/E]think he [C/G][G][C/G]must....[G]
{Verse 3]
The great storm [C/G]raged [G] and the power kept [A7sus4]growin',[Am7]
[C/D] Dragons rose from the land [C/G]below[G]
And even now I [C]wonder [D/C]where I'm [G]goin'[Am7]
Ever since a [G]long time [C]ago,
I've tried to [G]let my feelings [C]show
I'd like to [Bm7]think I'm [Cmaj7]being [C/D]sincere,
But I'll [C/E]never [C/G][G]know[G][C/G]
