(I decided to do the chords to this song,
as the ones I've come across on this,
and other websites haven't been quite so accurate
with missing chords, etc. Please rate if you like,
or don't for that matter - hoping to do a proper
TAB of this song in due time
to go over the background picking, open to
any suggestions or corrections)

Tired old man you're wasting slowly battling grey and blue

Built your empire as a shell so nobody prays on you

Struggle to keep the memories free from the sweat and blood

Like the Red Queen, you're running out of steam every mile

What a funny way to spend the day like a farmer deep in debt

Now that they won't let you make it up as you go along
