[Intro]
C  Am  Em  Em
[Strophe]
C      Am          Em 
Once I wanted to be the greatest 
C          Am              Em 
No wind of waterfall could stall me 
    F             Dm 
And then came the rush of the flood 
G 
Stars of night turned deep to dust
[Refrain]
        C 
Melt me down 
     Am                Em 
Into big black armour 
         C        Am 
Leave no trace of grace 
             Em 
Just in your honour 
         C 
Lower me down 
    Am 
To culprit south 
Em 
Make 'em wash a space in town 
         F 
For the lead 
        Dm 
And the dregs of my bed 
          G 
I've been sleepin'  
         F 
Lower me down 
       Dm 
Pin me in 
           G 
Secure the grounds 
                     C     Am    Em 
For the later parade
[Strophe]
C      Am           Em 
Once I wanted to be the greatest 
C            Am    Em 
Two fists of solid rock 
C           Am 
With brains that could explain 
    Em 
Any feeling
[Refrain]
         F 
Lower me down 
       Dm 
Pin me in 
           G 
Secure the grounds 
        F 
For the lead 
        Dm 
And the dregs of my bed 
          G 
I've been sleepin' 
                  C   Am   Em 
For the later parade
[Strophe]
C      Am           Em 
Once I wanted to be the greatest 
C          Am              Em 
No wind of waterfall could stall me 
    F             Dm 
And then came the rush of the flood 
G 
Stars of night turned deep to dust
