Intro/Verse 1:
Riff 1 (x10)
Look inside
Day started right
A back road in a dirt town lives
All time
The mongoose flies (the mongoose flies)
The mongoose flies (the mongoose flies)
The mongoose flies (the mongoose flies)
The mongoose flies (the mongoose flies)
Verse 2:
Riff 1 – Riff 2 – Riff 1 – Riff 2
Removed from the times
Event for the eyes
Mid-day they gathered one by one
All time
Chorus:
The story lies behind
The mongoose flies on by
Out on the street they ride
The mongoose flies on by
Riff 1 (x2)
Verse 3:
Riff 1 – Riff 2 – Riff 1 – Riff 2 – Riff 1 – Riff 2
Slowly turns
Signals high
What happens next
All time
Chorus:
The story lies behind (the story lies behind)
The mongoose flies on by
Out on the street they ride (out on the street they ride)
The mongoose flies on by
The story lies behind (the story lies behind)
The mongoose flies on by
Out on the street they ride (out on the street they ride)
(power chords played at 8th fret)

Verse 4:
Riff 1 – Riff 2 – Riff 1 – Riff 2
Look inside
Day started right
A back road in a dirt town lives
All time
Chorus:
The story lies behind
The mongoose flies on by
Out on the street they ride
The mongoose flies on by
The story lies behind (the story lies behind)
The mongoose flies on by
Out on the street they ride (out on the street they ride)
The mongoose flies on by
