[Verse]

E             G#m
Hey Gloria
               A                E
Are you standing close to the edge?
E                   G#m
Lookout to the setting sun
A                     B  
The brink of your vision
E         G#m
Eternal youth is
    A                E
A landscape of the lie
E               G#m
The cracks of my skin can prove
A                      B
As the years will testify


[Bridge]

C#m                  G#m
Say your prayers and light a fire
A                        E
We're going to start a war
C#m              G#m
Your slogans a gun for hire
A            B
It's what we waited for


[Verse]

E             G#m
Hey Gloria,
            A              E
This is why we're on the edge
E                      G#m
The fight of our lives been drawn to
A             E
This undying love.


[Chorus]

E               G#m
Gloria, Viva La Gloria
C#m
    You blast your name
       A
In graffiti on the walls
Am
   Falling through broken glass that's
E        B            C#m
Slashing through your spirit
A                            B
  I can hear it like a jilted crowd

E                     G#m
Gloria, where are you Gloria
C#m                 
    You found a home
            A
In all your scars and ammunition
Am                            E
   You made your bed in salad days
 B          C#m
Amongst the ruin
A                      B
  Ashes to ashes of our youth


[Verse]

E               G#m                C#m
She smashed her knuckles into winter
A          E               B
As autumns wind fades into black
E          G#m              C#m
She is the saint on all the sinners
A              E                   B
The one that's fallen through the cracks
A                      B
So don't put away your burning light


[Chorus]

E                     G#m
Gloria, where are you Gloria
C#m
    Don't lose your faith
        A
To your lost naivete
Am
   Weather the storm and don't look
E       B      C#m
Back on last November
A                               B
  When your banners were burning down

E               G#m
Gloria, viva la Gloria
C#m
    Send me your amnesty down
A
To the broken hearted
Am
   Bring us the season
        E      B      C#m
That we always will remember
A                          B
  Don't let the bonfires go out


[Outro]
     
   A     E
So Gloria,
A                    E
Send out your message of
A                    E        B
The light that shadows in the night.
A     E
Gloria, 
A                    E
where's your undying love?
A                 E        B
Tell me the story of your life
