[Cm]
[G]Devasta[F]tion at last [C]finally we meet

Now I am [A]overwrought
I'm over[C]wrought

[Verse 3]
[D]Saluta[C]tions at last [G]down on my knees
[D]I heard the bug[C]le this morn b[G]last reveille
[D]Woke from a dream

[D]All my sails [C]were ablaze
I was [G]chained to the helm
And now I am [E]overwhelmed
I'm over[G]whelmed

[Chorus 3]

But [Bbdim7]these mockingbirds[G]

[G]I thought if I[F] towed the ri[Em]ght lines
But [Bbdim7]these mockingbirds[G]
[F]won't [Em]let me s[C]hine[D]
