You gonna need a second player for the intro, one strumming and the other one doing the lead guitar melody parts.
But you can also do both, simultaneously pluck the D bass note while doing the melody.
[Intro]
Dm
......
[Verse 1]
Dm C/E F G
Cody says he didn't start the fire.....
Am G F
...His parents know he probably did
Dm C/E F G
He's always playing with a light....
Am G F
...He's just a different kind of kid
Dm C/E F G
And Cody says He didn't raise the dead.....
Am G F
...Says "religion's just a trick
Dm C/E F G
To keep hard-working folks in line.....
Am G F
...He says it makes his stomach sick
[Chorus]
Dm C F
So who's gonna carry us away?
Bb Am Gm
Eagles with glory-painted wings?
C Bb Am
We keep on waiting for the miracle to come
C F Bb Am C F
Pour down the mountain like a heaven-fed stream...........
[Verse 2]
Dm C/E F G
Cody's always got one on the line.......
Am G F
...He likes to walk 'em by the wrist
Dm C/E F G
He does his pulling with his eyes......
Am G F
...He does his talking with his fists
Dm C/E F G
Bottle rockets on an August night........
Am G F
...Raid the coolers in the trucks
Dm C/E F G
If we're lucky we'll get loud and we'll drink
Am G F
...Whiskey from a plastic jug
[Chorus]
Dm C F
So who's gonna carry us away?
Bb Am Gm
Eagles with glory-painted wings?
C Bb Am
We keep on waiting for the miracle to come
C F Bb Am
Fall from the firmament and give us nice things
[Bridge]
C Bb
.....Round and round it goes
C Bb Gm
....Where it stops, nobody knows
Bb Dm
.....nobody knows
[Guitar solo]
Dm C F Bb Am Gm
......................................
Dm C F Bb Am Gm
......................................
[Chorus]
Dm C F
So who's gonna carry us away?
Bb Am Gm
Eagles with glory-painted wings?
C Bb Am
We keep on waiting for the miracle to come
C F Bb Am
Roll down the mountain to the sound of sad strings
C F Bb Am C F
We keep on waiting for the miracle.........
Bb Am
For the miracle
C F Bb Am C F
We keep on waiting for the miracle..........
Bb Am C F
For the miracle..........
