Judas Priest - The Sentinel: chords

Am
Along deserted avenues
                    C
Steam begins to rise
Am
The figures primed and ready
                           C
Prepared for quick surprise

      D  C/E   F  G Am   C
He's watchin' for a sign
     D  C/E F    G  Esus4
His life is on the line

Chorus:
  Am
Sworn to avenge
           G   Am
Condemned to hell
 F                                 D    C G/B
Tempt not the blade, all fear the sentinel

 Am
Dogs whine in the alleys
                   C
Smoke is on the wind
Am
From deep inside its empty shell
   G   Am    C    G Am      C
A cathedral bell begins to ringing

He's watchin' for a sign
His life is on the line

Chorus

 Em
Amidst the upturned burned-out cars
      C              G/B
The challengers await
         Am
And in their fists clutch iron bars
       Em                  D
With which to seal his fate
   Em
Across his chest is scabbards rest
     C
The rows of throwing knives
       Am
Whose razor points in challenged tests
     Em
Have finished many lives

  Dm
Now facing one another
The stand-off eats at time
Then all at once a silence falls
As the bell ceases its chime
  Am
Upon this sign the challengers
        F                    Dm
With shrieks and cries rush forth
     Am
The knives fly out like bullets
  F                 Dm
Upon their deadly course
   Am
Screams of pain and agony
 F               Dm
Rent the silent air
   Am
Amidst the dying bodies
  F               Dm
Blood runs everywhere
     Am
The figure stands expressionless
   F            Dm
Impassive and alone
 Am
Unmoved by this victory
          D  C/E  F     G   Esus4
And the seeds of death he's sown
