Closing Night Tuning: EADGBE Tabbed By: Macheeoo Intro Chords: C Am F G x1 C Am G C The show was over it's all in the name C Am G C It never was before but this ain't the same C Am G C So try to imagine a time and a place C Am F G C Where the enemy won and the hero was slain And poetic justice burns in the minds Of five diying soldiers on the front lines With nobody's singing in nobody's ears No one's disappointed, nobody hears I know a lady, promise her name The price of her visit suffering and pain And we gladly waited and we gladly paid We watched the sun rise, she never came An electric current moves us around We sank to our knees to worship the sound But nobody told us that we'd rise again Imagine a hero unable to win Imagine a hero unable to win
