Verse 1:
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 landscpe from the lie
E                   G#m
  The cracks of my skin can prove
A                   B
  As the years will testify


Refrain 1:
C#m                    G#m

  Were going to start a war
C#m              G#m
  Your slogans a gun for hire 
A              B(hold)
  It's what we waited for

E        G#m
  Hey Gloria

Chorus 1:
E               G#m
Gloria, Viva La Gloria
C#m 
  You blast your name
   A
In graffiti on the walls
Am
   Falling thought broken glass that's
 E       B             C#m
Slashing thought your spirit
A                             B
  I can hear it like a jilted crowd


Chorus 2:
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 ruins
A                       B
  Ashes to ashes of our youth 


Verse 3:
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 thought the cracks

        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 banner where burning down
