C#m       E      B                  C#m
And I'm standing up in my practice room
    E     B                         C#m
I'm all alone, the speakers almost blown
       E         B
On my new Gibson amp
              E B E A  B
Oh, what the hell

Things are not so different in my vocal master
You're the face that launched one thousand shits
Greeks and Trojans and their thousand shits
The shits lining the shores of Asia Minor
Lining on the shores of Asia Minor
You can tell that I'm not a minor in Asia no more

Chorus:
               E A
I'm standing up
                                      B        E B
This is the face that launched a thousand shits
               E A
I'm standing up
                                      B
This is the face that launched a thousand shits

This is the face that shot
Who never have replaced
Splitting up his kingdom into three separate parts
For his sons and their three separate hearts
