(Gm Bb D) History's so strong History's so strong History's so strong History's so strong (Gm Bb D) Sing another drinking song the honky tonk will do Make another breaking bomb your favorite ingénue This the distant dawn This the distant dawn *Pre-Chorus: Gm I put my cards up on the table Bb I do this speak cause I am able Gm One pixie's broken down devotion Bb I threw my pistol in the ocean Ab Eyes wide with revelation Cm Shine at the police station D7 And when the verdict comes round D7 I'm sure that you will go down **Chorus: Bb F Gm Stay all night, we'll save the population... (4x) (Gm Bb D) Pistol and its pawn Sail it through the lexicon Pistol and its pawn Blood and borderlines be drawn (Gm Bb D) Take another bottle down the brothel and the shrew Make another awful sound, a rather gothic brew History's so strong History's so strong *Pre-Chorus: Gm I put my cards up on the table Bb I do this speak cause I am able Gm One pixie's broken down devotion Bb I threw my pistol in the ocean Ab Eyes wide with revelation Cm Shine at the police station D7 And when the verdict comes round D7 I'm sure that you will go down **Chorus: Bb F Gm Stay all night, we'll save the population...
