[E]Gloria! Where are you [Abm]Gloria?
[Dbm]You found a home in all your [A]scars and ammunition.

[A]Ashes to ashes of our [B]youth.

[A]The one that's [E]fallen through the [B]cracks.
So don't [A]put away your [B]burning light.
Chorus:
[E]Gloria! Where are you [Abm]Gloria?
[Dbm]Don't lose your faith to [A]your lost naivete.
[A]Weather the storm and don't look [E]back on [B]last [Dbm]November
[A]when your banners were burning [B]down.
[E]Gloria! Viva La [Abm]Gloria!
[Dbm]Send me your amnesty down [A]to the broken hearted.

So [A]Glori[E]a
[A]Send out your [E]message of[A] the light that [E]shadows in the [B]night
[A]Glori[E]a [A]where's your und[E]ying love?
[A]Tell me the [E]story of your [B]life ...
Your [E]life!
