Battered Tab

Standard Tuning


Winding roads,

Shadows are frightening,
                                        
From mountains that reach toward the sky

On my way,

But blurred by the vision,
                                 
That you have been telling me lies

Up, down,

I'm searching over
                                  
For answers to all of these rhymes

I try to unleash

My uncharted anger that's
                          
Burning and tearing inside

                  
Well I'll try to find
                  
But I know it's behind
                  
All the walls that all
         
Cover my fate
                  
Well I'll try to listen
                  
To the rush of the wind
         
As it brands and batters 

my brain

    x 2


You say,

I cannot trust you,
                                     
In the words that you've spoken before

Well I just 

Play back the memories,
                                
Of times when I laid on the floor

Can this be true

It's so hard to believe
                              
How can anyone be so damn mean?

Well I just

Walk through the shadows
                       
Impatient and weary inside

                  
Well I'll try to find
                  
But I know it's behind
                  
All the walls that all
            
Cover my fate
                  
Well I'll try to listen
                  
To the rush of the wind
                  
As it brands and batters 
        
My brain

    x 2
   
   

                  
Well I'll try to find
                  
But I know it's behind
                  
All the walls that all
            
Cover my fate
                  
Well I'll try to listen
                  
To the rush of the wind
                  
As it brands and batters 
        
My brain

** Stop Hitting Chords **
Aaron's Part : 
Me mother and father were Irish
And I am Irish too
I bought a wee petal for nine cents (Not really sure of this line)
And it is Irish too

** Start playing the C Am F C progression again **
I'm up in the morning early
To greet the dawn of day
Me mother and father were Irish
And I am Irish too...

Finish on the C chord

Josh's Part : (He sings the same line repeatedly)
I will not bow to the English, Oh no.
