Verse 1:

Am                    G
At the textile plant, sixteen dead

C                       Am
There's a hornet's nest inside my head

Am                  G
My daughter's gone, she won't be back

C                     Am
Behind chained doors, they burned to black

Am                   G
Walk down the street to the convenience store

C                     Am
I be keeping a secret in my top dresser drawer

Am                  G
Red light flashing, siren coming loud

C                   Am
The trap is sprung, I greet the crowd


Chorus:

      Am                            G         Am
I'm a thousand tornadoes screaming across the plains

    Am                G         Am
I'm Gabriel's horn on Judgement Day

    C                       G
I'm months of darkness, I'm years of rain

      Am            G        Am
God's branding iron bares my name

    Am                G           Am
I'm making a list and checking it twice

    Am                G        Am
You name the place, I name the price

          C                   G
If you're feeling lucky, then hold your breath

    Am                G         Am
And wave goodbye when nothing's left


Verse 2:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_nightwatchman/branding_iron_crd.html ]
Am                 G
There is no tether to hold me back

C                        Am
There's just one answer, there's just one path

Am                       G
There's just one reason, there's just one end

C                    Am
There's just regret, there's just revenge

Am                 G
Tonight the tower, the bells will chime

C               Am
Clear and true, one final time


Chorus:

      Am                            G         Am
I'm a thousand tornadoes screaming across the plains

    Am                G         Am
I'm Gabriel's horn on Judgement Day

    C                       G
I'm months of darkness, I'm years of rain

      Am            G        Am
God's branding iron bares my name

    Am                G           Am
I'm making a list and checking it twice

    Am                G        Am
You name the place, I name the price

          C                   G
If you're feeling lucky, then hold your breath

    Am                G         Am
And wave goodbye when nothing's left

Outro:

Am                              G        Am
I'm down the street from the convenience store

          Am                             G        Am
I've been keeping a secret I don't wanna keep anymore

    C                       G
I'm months of darkness, I'm years of rain

      Am            G        Am
God's branding iron bares my name
