[Intro] (Piano)
E  G#m  A  E

[Verse 1]
E          G#m
  Hey Gloria
         A                    E
Are you standing close to the edge?
E                 G#m
  Look out to the setting sun
A                   B
  The brink of your vision
E         G#m
  Eternal youth is
    A              E
The landscape of a lie
E                   G#m
  The cracks of my skin can prove
A                   B
  As the years will testify

[Refrain 1]
C#m                    G#m
  Say your prayers and light a fire
A                        E  B/D#
  We're going to start a war
C#m               G#m
  Your slogan's a gun for hire 
A              B (hold)
  It's what we waited for

[Verse 2]
E          G#m
  Hey Gloria
         A                E
This is why we're on the edge
E                  G#m
  The fight of our life's been drawn to
     A       E (hold)
This undying love

[Interlude] Beat Changes from Ballad Piano to Fast Punk Rock

[Chorus 1]
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

[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 (Gloria!)
A             E               B
  As autumn's wind fades into black
E            G#m              C#m
  She is the saint of all the sinners  (Gloria!)
A                E                  B
  The one that's fallen through the cracks

[Refrain 2]
         A             B
So don't put away your burning light

[Chorus 3]
E                      G#m
Gloria! Where are you, Gloria?
C#m
   Don't lose your faith
        A
To your lost naivety
Am
  Weather the storm and don't look
E       B      C#m
Back on last November
A                              B
  When your banners were burning down

[Chorus 4]
E                G#m
Gloria! ¡Viva La Gloria!
C#m
   Send me you 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         A
  Send out your message of the light
     E              B
That shadows in the night
A    E  A               E
Gloria,  where's your undying love?
A             E             B
  Tell me the story of your life
     E   E  E  E  E
Your life!
