[Verse 1]
F#m A
Well, I heard how all the lights went out in Memphis
F#m A
On the death night anniverary of the king
F#m A
The pretenders talking dirty in the palace
F#m A
But it doesn't have that old familiar ring
[Verse 2]
F#m A
And I see there's been some changes in the valley
F#m A
All the renegades have finally settled down
F#m A
Now they worship in the temples of their rivals
F#m A
And desecrate the holy heart of town
[Chorus]
E A
Can't you hear all those sweet voices singing
E A
Taking care of the chosen ones
E A
Can't you hear all those mission bells ringin'
E A
Say a prayer for the chosen ones
[Verse 3]
F#m A
Well, I read they're pourin' oil on troubled waters
F#m A
While they cast a giant shadow on the land
F#m A
Hey, let's spend another night across the border
F#m A
Then bury all our secrets in the sand
[Verse 4]
F#m A
Now they claim there is a message in the bible
F#m A
And they swear there is no master and his slave
F#m A
But the future's looking grim for the lonesome cowboy
F#m A
When the hand that rocks the cradle digs the grave
[Chorus]
E A
Can't you hear all those sweet voices singing
E A
Taking care of the chosen ones
E A
Can't you hear all those mission bells ringin'
E A
Say a prayer for the chosen ones
[Bridge]

Can't you hear all those sweet voices singing

Taking care of the chosen ones

Can't you hear all those mission bells ringin'

Say a prayer for the chosen ones
E A
Can't you hear all those sweet voices singing
E A
Taking care of the chosen ones
E A
Can't you hear all those mission bells ringin'
E A
Say a prayer for the chosen ones
