The Torch Tabs & Lyrics by Dropkick Murphys
The Torch
guitar tabs lyrics
INTRO:
D, Dsus, Asus, D (repeat)
VERSE:
D D Em G D Dsus
Wash away... All the lines on your face that show how you've aged.
D D Em G D Dsus
It's a long way down... Your back's been broken you can't make the rounds.
D G G Em
The tables are turned as the litany goes...
G D Dsus
You're a rotten old man who'll be covered in dirt.
D D Em G D Dsus
On your knees..... and pray to the maker that caused you to bleed.
CHORUS:
D G
Turn back the hands on the clock
D A
You're a bitter old man who's done nothing but work.
D G
Your hands to the bone on the assembly lines
D A
You've grown cold to the touch of the ones that you love
D G
Ignorance is something you can't overcome
D A
but you've past it on down and that's something much worse
G G Em G D Dsus
For a bitter young man... is now taking the torch
G G Em G
For a bitter young man... is now taking the torch
BRIDGE:
D, Asus, Dsus, D (repeat)
VERSE 2:
Silent scorn� You've taken it out on the ones you adore.
Inside rage� They've left you before but they'll come back again.
They'll pray for you with all their love�
But this time your indifference just can't be excused.
Forced amends� Well it's something you'll die with but it goes on for them.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
