 Verse 1:
 F#m                     
 Hauled from the wreckage
 A                              
 Dragged to the side of the road
 Bm                           F#m 
 There's a man, standing alone
 
 F#m                  
 Live by the moonlight
 A                
 Blown by the wind
 Bm                                         F#m 
 Nothing there, but the road in front of him
 
 Chorus:
 F#m                   
 So tear down the walls
 F7                          
 Storm through the barricades
 Bm                           
 There's fight in every corner
 F#m                    
 And a night to everyday
 
 Verse 2:
 F#m                       
 Drawn here by circumstance
 A               
 Led here by fate
 Bm                                                F#m 
 Some kind of misunderstanding, Led the soul astray

 F#m                   
 Went down on his knees
 A                      
 Reached up to the skies
 Bm                                                 F#m 
 Said Lord I followed your way, won't you show me mine
 
 Chorus (2x):
 F#m                   
 So tear down the walls
 F7                          
 Storm through the barricades
 Bm                           
 There's fight in every corner
 F#m                    
 And a night to everyday

 F Minor Pentatonic
 
 Verse 3:
 F#m              
 They say at night
 A                 
 You hear him plead
 Bm                                     F#m  
 With the devil below, for his soul's release
 
 Chorus (2x):
 F#m                   
 So tear down the walls
 F7                          
 Storm through the barricades
 Bm                           
 There's fight in every corner
 F#m                    
 And a night to everyday
 
 Solo 2:
 F Minor Pentatonic
 
 That's the bare bones of it.
 Tips:
 You must listen to the song to get a feel for the song.
 The chorus is a choppy part where Davy alternates between downstrokes on the bottom
 and upstrokes on the top strings. Use chunky distortion to get the right sound.
 The F7 chord has a little slide in it from the third to the fourth fret during the choruses.
 In the verses, strum the chords and arpeggiate the top three strings.
 The verses are played with a delay-type pedal which and slight tremolo effects.
 For the solos, improvise dramatically.
 Have fun, this is a great, impressive song.
