Gm Salute the sun, Dm I've been sitting here all night long. Hauling rock over Buddha with the Longhorn, Gm Got a hole, so rip a pocket off my uniform. Dm With the Blackwatch Boys, Get your heads down. Gm Dm Oooh .Ooh Duty calls but it's way too late, I'm too far gone Waiting for Godot, hell, with my pants down Cracked the stash, sent me crying in the midday sun I miss my dog and I miss my freedom (Freedom) Oh-oh, oh-oh (Oh-oh, oh-oh) Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Oh-oh, oh-oh) Chorus: A# F I don't know why they are calling on the radio, Gm D# They know I'm here just out of sight.

A# F I don't know why they are calling on the radio, D# He's by my side and I know I'm right. I hate the things I think about you when I'm all alone I know you're tough, but I've been gone for so long Play the memories of you inside my head So all these pictures of us burn and radiate Watch the clouds and I'm falling, falling through the cracks Head beats and the heart is pounding fast Off the ground into the starry dark Into your arms I'm falling (Falling, falling) Oh-oh, oh-oh (Falling, falling) Oh-oh (Falling, falling), oh-oh, oh-oh (Falling) Chorus - x2 F My brain, my body's fried, Cm I've got to stay alive. D# G# I've gotta take a chance and keep on moving, F Keep on moving. Chorus: I don't know why they are calling on the radio They know I'm here just out of sight Don't know why they are calling on the radio He's by my side and I know I'm right Don't know why they are calling on the radio It's on my side and I know I'm right (I see your light from miles away) Don't know why they are calling on the radio It's on my side and I know I'm alright (I see your light from miles away) Oh-oh, oh-oh (Oh-oh, oh-oh) (I see your light from miles away) Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Oh-oh, oh-oh) You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  Cm  D#  Dm  F  G#  Gm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
