       G
Reformulation, rearrange the
           D
game you're in
                        Em
Let us start from the begin
                      B
With confidence you'll win
That's the reason you
     F#   D
were born
               G
'Cause Jesus Christ, man, won't
be coming
         D
Back no more
                     Em
He set up his proper laws
                           B
And you know well that he did
just what
                F#   D
He should have done
         G
As I was growing and my hair was
           D
getting longer
                          Em
I was feeling so much stronger
                     B
I could carry my guitar, and I knew
              F#     D
That I could sing!!
      G    C            G
But hey, how could I know?
C                G           D
The wind would blow with the rain
G    C          G
Hey, how could I see
C              G
What would they make
       D   D7
out of me?
           G
When I was little, used to dream I
     D
was a king
                          Em
Now they taught me how to sing
                           B
Think I've got most everything
                 F#  D
I could ever ask for
                 G
You've got your pencil, your guitar,
           D
Your amplifier
                         Em
Searching for the lousy liars
                           B
You will set this world on fire
                 F#      D
Like Nero did to Rome!! Yeah!
    G     C           G
But hey, how could I know
C             G          D
My eyes could see in the dark?
  G   C              G
Hey, don't press on me
 C         G                D   D7
I'm not to blame can't you see?
              G
It's been so long now
                            D
Since the latest "red" has gone
                        Em
Who knows you'll be the next
                  B
To go down in history...
