Topic: Vengeance Will Be Mine
This is a new song I've been working on since I came home from holiday. It's all to do with revenge. I had the old westerns in mind as I wrote it, so it's all about a gun-slinger coming into town to kill the sheriff, but a stray bullet hits the guys wife, and so begins his search for revenge.
Vengeance Will Be Mine.Undefined
[E] If I should cross the road. And [B] find the path I came by.
Would I [A] find my way, would the [B] sun shine on my [E] face?
Cos I [E] guess I lost my way, on the [B] long road through my life time.
And the [A] bad things that I've done, to [B] get me to this [E] place.
CHORUS
And I [A] don't know where I'mgoing.
Got a [B] pistol in my hand.
[A] Look for the face of the [F#m] man I hate.
And when I [B] find him I'll be damned.
[E] If I could rearrange, all the [B] side steps that I made.
Then I could [A] come to terms with the curse I've earned.
And [B] maybe start my life again.
But when he [E] took my love away. It's like he [B] took heart and soul.
And I [A] need to kill just to [B] let me live [E] again.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
[F#m] Someones gotta die. Yes [A] someone's gotta die.
[F#m] If it's me or him, I don't [B] care if he takes my life.
[E] Sometimes on the road, from [B] childhood to the graveyard.
You [A] find the one that will [B] keep you home at [E] night.
Then a gunman comes to town. He's [B] out to kill the lawman.
When the [A] bullets fly and a [A] stray shot hits your [E] wife.
CHORUS
REP BRIDGE X2
[E] I 've been on the road a year. Still my [B] heart aches every night.
And I [A] know inside I will never smile [B] again.
But I've [E] heard he's in this town. And I will [B] try to shoot him down.
[A] Check my gun; God's [B] vengeance will be [E] mine....
