Crashing Down

(Intro) Cm  D  Gm  Dm  Eb F


            Gm
You must be getting pretty tired
       F
Of the man who once inspired you
      Dm                           Eb
Going back on what he asked you to believe
        Gm
All the promises of power
         F
From his glittering ivory tower
            Dm                                  Eb
Where's the height that he once told you you'd achieve?

Gm                                   F
Those other men believe what you and I will never see
    Dm                            Eb
But I say why believe in place of proof?
          Gm
Let those others keep on praying
    F
You know I'm only saying
         Dm                             Eb
What the others are afraid might be the truth

           Cm          D
Well, they say nothing grows
          Gm      F       Eb
'Till the oak has hit the ground
         Eb
So let's clear the way, my boys
             Bb                 Gm
And let the giant come crashing down

(Bridge) Eb  D Gm

          Gm
Where are all the things you fought for?
        F
All the dreams you shed your blood for?
         Dm                             Eb
Are they shabby now and fraying at the seams?
    Gm
Was this your boyhood vision
      F
To endure the world's derision
          Dm                                 Eb
While the culprit sits and laughs behind the scenes?


           Cm          D
Well, they say nothing grows
          Gm      F       Eb
'Till the oak has hit the ground
         Eb
So let's clear the way, my boys
             F                 Gm
And let the giant come crashing down

(Bridge) Gm  Eb  D (x2)
Gm  Eb  Bb  (x3)

       Gm
Let us cleanse this force with fire
           F
Strike the fool who leads the liar
       Dm                 Eb
Let it all come crumbling down
         Gm
Like the firebird from the ashes
        F
We will rise to lead the masses
     Dm                                Eb
The strongest will emerge to wear the crown


           Cm          D
Well, they say nothing grows
          Gm      F       Eb
'Till the oak has hit the ground
         Eb
So let's clear the way, my boys
             F                  C    Cm   D   Gm   F  Eb
And let the giant come crashing down

      Eb
Let's clear the way, my boys,
            F                   Gm         Eb        D   F   Gm
And let the giant come crashing down
