Nameless Face

by Dylan Hart

(Verse)

C E Am

I could smell the liqueur

I could smell the smoke

All the trees were burning

Flames licked the Oak

He said if you shoot me

"you had better kill me"

And he died with grace

But without his dignity

(Chorus)

G F Am Dm

Less than a nameless face

We all shot him to the dirt

Not even the devil

Would take his soul for what its worth

Hiding behind a cloth

With a six shooter exposed

Up until that moment

He remained unopposed

(verse)

I finished the drink i bought

And finished the smoke I rolled

Then I walked out those doors

To the road paved with gold

So if they strike you first

Just like they did to me

Whats the problem with

burying them six feet beneath.

(Chorus)

G F Am Dm

Less than a nameless face

We all shot him to the dirt

Not even the devil

Would take his soul for what its worth

Hiding behind a cloth

With a six shooter exposed

Up until that moment

He remained unopposed

(verse)

The splatter marks on the table

And the wine that hit the ground

The drip and patter it made

Was such a beautiful sound.

I guess the most valuable

Thing that we own

Really isn't that valuable

To me it was unbeknown
