  Intro:  B-E-D (2x)
            B
  There’s a bullet in the heart tonight
         E        D
  in the heart of Texas
       B 
  they shot it through their own backsides
         E       D
  we are rolling home
       B
  they shot the angel in the flesh
              E        D
  and now she won’t protect us
     B
  we shot it to the friendly mass
         E           D 
  we are west, we’re home
   A                             D
  raid the _______, the fort is empty
              Bm
  like in the films of Hollywood
   A                      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

  (play B-E-D progression 1x)

       B
  They had him nailed up to a T
            E      D       
  with that T for Texas
      B
  his disciples with artillery
                 E     D
  they held the fort inside
      B
  and by the time our story broke
       E          D
  (?)_______________
     B
  wheeled in a cloud of smoke
             E       D
  around the T, dear god
   A                           D
  raid the ______, the fort is empty
            Bm
  like the films of Hollywood
   A                    D
  and the choppers are ascending
       Bm               F#m              D
  like ______ said they would before too long
    F#m             B
  sing our lone star song
             D
  lone star song
       A                 D
  the south, words can’t help
       Bm                  D
  but escape my mouth easy prey
           A             Bm
  down the house, day upon day
           G           E
  day upon day, day upon day

  (play B-E-D progression 3x)

   A                           D
  raid the ______, the fort is empty
              Bm
  like in the films of Hollywood
   A                         D
  and the chopper’s blast is blending
           Bm               F#m             D
  with the crack of burning wood before too long
   F#m               B
  sing our lone Star song
            D
  lone star song

  lone star 

  (play Bm-E-D repeatedly as song fades out)
