[Intro]
B E D B E D*
 
[Verse 1]
          B                                    E       D
There's a bullet in the heart tonight in the heart of Texas
B                                 E       D
Shout it to the Dallasites we are rolling home
     B                                       E          D
They shot an angel in mid-flight and now she won't protect us
B                                 E        D
Shout it to the bedlamites we are westward ho
 
[Chorus]
A                      D
Pray the holy war is ending
            Bm             A   Asus4 A
Like in the films of Hollywood
                       D
And the angels are descending (important important)
     Bm7
Like Koresh had said
     F#m               D

[Verse 2]
     B                                E     D
They had him nailed up to a T with a T for Texas
       B                                   E      D
His disciples with artillery they held the fort inside
    B                                    E       D
And by the time the story broke down at Dealey Plaza
B                                       E   D
We've already caught the smoke read the TV guide
 
[Chorus]
A                      D
Pray the holy war is ending
            Bm           A   Asus4 A
Like the films of Hollywood
                        D
And the choppers are descending
        Bm7
Like MA Reno said
     F#m                 D
They would before too long
F#m                  B

         D                 A
Lone Star song of the south (easy words)
                     D
Words that can't help
       Bm
But escape my mouth (easy words)
          D              A
When they bring down the house (easy words)
         Bm
Day upon day
         Gmaj7**
Day upon day
         E**
Day upon day

[Chorus]
A                      D

            Bm           A
Like the films of Hollywood
                              D
And the trumpet's blast is blending
         Bm7
With the crack of burning
F#m                D
Wood before too long
F#m                  B
