The Rifles - The General

      [Intro] 
Am Em 
Am Em 

[Verse]
Am
When he was younger he could rumble like a hurricane

And leave you lying with a hunger for some novocaine
Em
Hit the switch on the lights in a heartbeat

Just like your worst nightmare with a mean streak
Am
But all the talent and the money's only gonna breed

Every Queen every King you're ever gonna need
Em
And they'll be nothing of the man and the legacy 
D
By the time that they get through

[Chorus]
C                                           Em
Every time you close your eyes you see your memory

'Boy you dream a lot'
             C                                 G F
Cause you're really not that man you used to be

[Verse]
Am
When he was younger he could rumble like a hurricane
Em
But now he stands out like a puddle in the pouring rain
Am
Trying hard to chase an ever-fading memory
Em
Before the days of grace are never gonna be
Am
So gather round and buy a ticket for the funeral
Em
Bring your camera and flowers for the general
Am                                      D
Sit around and reminise about the glory days

[Chorus]
C                                           Em
Every time you close your eyes you see your memory

'Boy you dream a lot'
             C                                 G F
Cause you're really not that man you used to be
C                                           Em
Every time you close your eyes you see your memory

'Boy you dream a lot'
             C                                    G F
Cause you're really not that man that people see

[Outro]
