Cm                                          B
Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot

Have we got everything? She struggles to get away...

The pain and the creeping feeling, a little black haired girl

Waiting for Saturday, the death of her father pushing her
Cm                                      B
Pushing her white face into the mirror, aching inside me and turn me round

[Verse 4] 4’14”
Cm                                            B
Caressing an old man and painting a lifeless face
Cm                                      B
Just a piece of new meat in a clean room
Cm                                    B
The soldiers close in under a yellow moon
Cm                                            B
All shadows and deliverance under a black flag
Cm                                           B
A hundred years of blood crimson the ribbon tightens round my throat,

I open my mouth and my
Cm                                     B
head bursts open, a sound like a tiger thrashing in the water, thrashing in the water
Cm                                  B
Over and over we die one after the other
Cm                                  B
Over and over we die one after the other
              Bb
One after the other, one after the other

One after the other, one after the other

[Outro] 5’25”
                F#
It feels like a hundred years, a hundred years

A hundred years, a hundred years

[final solo, 10th fret string e]
A hundred years
