The Greatest

C  Am  Em  Em


[Verse 1]

C      Am          Em
Once I wanted to be the greatest
C          Am              Em
No wind of waterfall could stall me
    F             Dm
And then came the rush of the flood
G
Stars of night turned deep to dust


[Chorus]

        C
Melt me down
     Am                Em
Into big black armour
         C        Am
Leave no trace of grace
             Em
Just in your honour
         C
Lower me down
    Am
To culprit south
Em
Make 'em wash a space in town
         F
For the lead
        Dm
And the dregs of my bed
          G
I've been sleepin'

         F
Lower me down
       Dm
Pin me in
           G
Secure the grounds
                     C     Am    Em
For the later parade


[Verse 2]

C      Am           Em
Once I wanted to be the greatest
C            Am    Em
Two fists of solid rock
C           Am
With brains that could explain
    Em
Any feeling


[Chorus]

         F
Lower me down
       Dm
Pin me in
           G
Secure the grounds
        F
For the lead
        Dm
And the dregs of my bed
          G
I've been sleepin'
                  C   Am   Em
For the later parade


[Verse 3]

C      Am           Em
Once I wanted to be the greatest
C          Am              Em
No wind of waterfall could stall me
    F             Dm
And then came the rush of the flood
G
Stars of night turned deep to dust
