Ally In Exile

E G G#

[Verse]

E          G  G#
An ally in exile
E          G  G#
Receives an urgent dispatch
E                   G  G#
When he's already in trouble
E          G  G#
Unable to relax
E                 G  G#
He recognises the cipher
E            G  G#
Quickly resolves the code
E                G  G#
The contents of the message
E              G  G#
State, area and road

[Verse]

E             G  G#
It was, as he feared
E              G  G#
His cover's been blown
E                 G  G#
The extent of the network
E          G  G#
Is now overblown
E               G  G#
Overgrown the apparatus
E           G  G#
To such an unwelcome event
E          G  G#
Incommunicado
E                G  G#
The last word is sent

[Chorus]

A#
He knows that resistance
A#
Is futile but still
A#
He awaits the arrival
A#
He awaits the kill
A
Resistance is futile
A
On arrival they kill
A
He awaits the arrival
A
On arrival they kill
A#
He awaits the arrival
A#
On arrival they kill


[Verse]

E                   G  G#
He breaks down in the theatre
E                         G  G#
But hopes not under these lights
E                G  G#
Specifically those
E                    G  G#
Which gain strategic insights
E                     G  G#
By the best of good fortune
E                      G  G#
He had provisions in store
E                   G  G#
He doubles, then trebles
E               G  G#
The locks on his door

[Chorus]

A#
He knows that resistance
A#
Is futile but still
A#
He awaits the arrival
A#
He awaits the kill
A
Resistance is futile
A
On arrival they kill
A
He awaits the arrival
A
Sits perfectly still
A#
Resistance is futile
A#
On arrival they kill
A#
On arrival they kill
A#
On arrival they kill
