Ode to Dodoria

This is a song about Dodoria. It is written from the perspective of a musician covering a crucial moment of the alien's life. It is not written to be in Dodoria's own words. It is written for acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and bass because these are the instruments I own.

Acoustic Guitar
These are the fingerings for the chords in the song. Only unique chords are presented. For example, the verse and the b verse both have an Em chord, but I will only put it once because the fingering does not change between sections. This is true for all chords, except CMaj7. I have designated a CMaj7 (2) chord which is fingered differently than the first.

Lyrics
All chords are specified for acoustic guitar. VERSE

CMaj7 Just another face in the crowd

Em With a mind wholly disallowed

Asus2 They've told me what my future to be

Dm              Esus4  E7 Am7 A slave to their fantasies

CMaj7 There's nowhere to go

Em There's nowhere they don't control

Asus2 The slavemasters crack the whip

Dm          Esus4   E7 And everyone must submit

Am7 But I want to make them pay

CHORUS

Em7 And I feel like

G               Gsus4add6 Sinking into the sky G              Gsus4add6 With my destiny running dry

G             D And I may as well be blind

Dsus2                      CMaj7 Cause there's nothing worth seeing

Am   Am7 in this world

VERSE

CMaj7 Virulent poison seeps through my veins

Em And the sickness of anarchy rules my brains

Asus2 Though I continue to slave away

Dm               Esus4 E7                My strength rises every day

Am7 I'll make them pay

Em            Am7 I'll make them pay

CHORUS

Em7 And I feel like

G               Gsus4add6 Sinking into the sky G              Gsus4add6 With my destiny running dry

G             D And I may as well be blind

Dsus2           CMaj7                 Am For I didn't see them descend from the heavens

Am7   Em Until it was too late

SOLO/INSTRUMENTAL

B VERSE

Em               A And as the cities burn

C            Em   Em7 As the people fall

Em    A      I just stand there

C          Em    Em7 Watching it all

Em                A Screaming, burning bodies

C       Em     Em7 fill the ground

Em              A And within a few minutes

C                  Em      Em7 they've all quieted down

C VERSE

E5                             D13 The alien conquerors march over those they've slain

CMaj7 (2)               Bsus4 Gladly executing any who remain

E5                         D13 My body goes numb, now that I'm finally free

CMaj 7 (2)                     Bsus4 I can't get up, as they all surround me

E5 My anger flares

D13 My body tenses up

CMaj7 I can't imagine how I

Bsus4 Can have such shit luck.

D VERSE G6 I'm about to die

C When the soldiers step aside

G6 And from the fire and rubble

D I see him welcome me with a snide

G6 The little horned creature

C With something glinting in his eyes

G6 He points right at me, smiling so softly

D And then I realize

C             D                 Em He's going to make me one of his soldiers

C             D       Em And I'll never be free again
