E F#m
When the cavalry clears
G#m F#m
And the limbs of our peers
G#m F#m Esus4
Lay around us like sticks in the mud
E F#m
We'll say to ourselves,
G#m F#m
"Where's the heaven in this hell?
G#m F#m Esus4
We're on a ladder without any rungs"
Am E
With the ash of our friends in our lungs
(Repeat intro riff, end on Esus4
E F#m
That's enough about the war
G#m F#m
How's my dear Eleanor?
G#m F#m Esus4
Have you heard back from William or Kate?
E F#m
Are you getting your shakes
G#m F#m
From lack of sleep as of late?
G#m F#m Esus4
And my breath always reeks of escape
Am E E
I'll be home soon, and hopefully safe

E F#m
Twenty years to the day
G#m F#m
The tavern's closed and some say
G#m F#m Esus4
They only saved us from missing our lives
E F#m
He was buried away to
G#m F#m
The ground and the blame
G#m F#m Esus4
That Eleanor kept stored away
Am E
And his breath always reeked of escape
I am pretty confident about the accuracy of this tab, there are a few fills and muted
in various places, but they generally follow the tabbed out sections.
