[Verse 1]
    Em             C            D
He's walking like a small child
   Em                         C   D
But watch his eyes burn you away
Em                C             D
Black holes in his golden stare
Em                      C      D
God knows he wants to go home

[Chorus]
               Em    Bm  Am  C/B  C  D
Children of the Damned
               Em    Bm  Am  C/B  C  D

Children of the Damned

[Verse 2]
    Em             C         D
He's walking like a dead man
  Em                                 C     D
If he had lived he would crucified us all
        Em              C          D
Now he's standing on his last step
          Em                             C      D
He thought "Oblivion? Well, it beckons us all"

[Chorus]
               Em    Bm  Am  C/B  C  D
Children of the Damned
               Em    Bm  Am  C/B  C  D

[Instrumental]
Em  D  C  D  Em

[Bridge]
                    Em                     D
Now it's burning his hands, he's turning to laugh
C            D               Em
Smiles as the flame sears his flesh
           Em                 D
Melting his face, screaming in pain
C          D             Em
Peeling the skin from his eyes
         Em               D
Watch him die according to plan
    C       D                   Em
He's dust on ground, what did we learn?

[Instrumental]
Em  B7  C  D  Em
Em  B7  C  D  Em
Em  B7  C  D  Em
Em  B7  C  D  Em

[Bridge]
Em      D     C     D
Ooooooooo-o-o-o-o-ooh
Em      D     C     D
Ooooooooo-o-o-o-o-ooh

[Outro]
                      Em
You're children of the Damned
                       D
Your back's against the wall
                 C
You turn into the light
                     D
You're burning in the night
                      Em
You're children of the Damned
                       D
Like candles watch them burn
              C
Burning in the light
                   D
You'll burn again tonight
               Em
Children of the Damned...
