Master Of Spin

Am

Am                          G           Am
There came out of nowhere a God fearing man
                                        Em
Who dreamed of a world he was born to command
    Am                                      Dm
The love of the people he was yearning to win
        Am         C            G         Am
Well he came to be known as the master of spin

Am                            G            Am
He was born in a time full of darkness and fear
                                       Em
The thunder of cannons was distant but clear
    Am                                         Em
His mother leaned down and she whispered to him
          Am         C        G           Am
"Don't you ever say sorry and never give in"

                                  G               Am
She teased him and pushed him and jeered from behind
                                 Em
So nobody noticed how quickly he climbed
      Am                                  Dm
Every turn that he took was a means to an end
    Am          C           G           Am
His temper grew rigid while others did bend

   G                   Am
Oh Lord, let the bells ring
                    G                  Am
For the hard little man who was hollow within
A             G                        Dm
Power without glory is a heartbreaking thing
       Am                       G         Am
On the road to nowhere with the master of spin

                                G          Am
Well the people believed in the stories he told
                                    Em
Of glory and conquest and hunger for gold
Am                                  Dm
He built an army and vowed it would win
         Am          C                G          Am
And they marched into history with the master of spin

Am                                  G         Am
Well they struggled bravely through rivers of blood
                                              Em
The corpses grew higher, and the fire and the flood
Am                                  Dm
Oh how they suffered for following him
Am                                     G         Am
But they worshipped the man called the master of spin

   C      G             Am
Oh Lord, let the bells ring
        C           G                  Am
For the hard little man who was hollow within
  A        C         G                 Dm
Power without glory is a heartbreaking thing
       Am                       G          Am
On the road to nowhere with the master of spin

                             G           Am
Still it didn't take much to bring him undone
                                      Em
A small indiscretion, the slip of the tongue
    Am                                        Dm
The fool and the mistress and the monster within
    Am           A           G              Am
They all blew the whistle on the master of spin

                                   G          Am
They say in this life there is one lesson to learn
                                             Em
The strong will survive and the weakest will burn
Am                                          Dm
Perhaps she was wrong when she whispered to him
           Am                 G           Am
"Don't you ever say sorry and never give in"

                G              Am
El Dorado still waits to be found
                                        Em
And the glorious armies are long in the ground
Am                                        Dm  D Dm
And a terrible darkness still lies deep within
  Am          C          G              Am
The heart of a man called the master of spin

A     G                  Am
Oh Lord, let the bells ring
        C            G                 Am
For the hard little man who was hollow within
C             G                           Dm
Power without glory is a heartbreaking thing
       Am        G                       Am
On the road to nowhere with the master of spin
C    G                 Am
Oh Lord, let the bells ring
        C           G                   Am
For the hard little man who was hollow within
C             G                          Dm
Power without glory is a heartbreaking thing
       Am                       G         Am
On the road to nowhere with the master of spin
