'The Battle Rages On'
Time To Kill

Here's a first draft of one of the songs from the new album - rather poppy which
means the main riff isn't particularly difficult. Mostly perfect fourths in 
typical Blackmore fashion. I haven't worked out the solo or the bits over the
verse because there's lots going on and I couldn't be bothered
If anyone works out anymore, please send me the details and I'll incorporate it
into a master version.

(play riff 1 * 4) + through chorus
Consider your position position your defense
Why don't you let me ask you is it coincidence
Feeding speculators on a downhill gravy train
Like vultures ripping out the eyes to reach the dying brain
Listen to the wind - a silent scream

Tearing at your broken heart
Like a forgotten dream
And there's a time for peace a time for war
Wondering what we've been put here for
A time for giving a time to take
A time for love and a time for hate
A time to beg and a time to steal
So you gamble on that spinning wheel
Of all these things I've had my fill
Lord I need some time to kill
Ten percent of nothing is exactly what you got
You think you've got the given right to take another shot
I'll take away your money all you've got is coloured beads
Find a piece of land where you can sow your seeds
Listen to the wind - a silent scream
(fill 1)
Tearing at your broken heart
Like a forgotten dream
There's a time for passion a time for pain
A time to learn that we're all the same
A time to remember a time to forget
Wondering how we're going to pay our debts
A time for thunder a time for rain
Waiting for the seasons to change
Of all these things I've had my fill
Lord I need some time to kill
repeat both chorus's
