Capo 1

verse 1 

C 
I salute you Christopher 
              G 
I salute your life 
               F 
How you played the dice 
C 
Your words will live in us 
             G 
Timelessly insane 
                     F 
Explosive, fresh and wise 
C 
Some will just forget 
                      G 
Some will close their eyes 
                   F 
Some will turn the tide 
C 
I salute you Christopher 
                   G 
Whiskey raised and downed 
                        F 
You risked and you took the crown 


Bridge 

C 
Console yourselves 
                                         G 
That a scientific death is better than a fairy tale 
               F 
Of the eternal life 
C 
Control yourselves 
                                                    G 
Because the man in the sky is a tyrant and a lonely psychopath 
                         F 
Dreamed up to steal your minds 


verse 2 

C          
A horseman on a trial 
                   G 
A brilliant gentle wreck 
                       F 
With a brutal mouth for press 
C  
No submit, no compromise 
                     G 
Saint Christopher of the truth 
                                     F 
And a destroyer of smoke screens and threats 
C                             
They will learn to see in time 
                            G 
They will think before they refuse 
                 F 
The civilisation rules 
C             
I salute you Christopher 
                     G 
I declare you as our king 
                           F 
Or queen, depending on your mood
