In a new level of my geekdom and inspired by the Ballad of Optimus Prime by Luke Ski, I'm writing a song about SE and SS, but I'm stuck.
Anyway if you can help, I'd like to get it to where the Baroness shoots StormShadow, (the song is already long)
It's to the tune of Paradise by John Prine. (mainly b/c it's a song I could already play.
For those that care it's C F C; C G C
John Prine, Paradise Tabs, Chords, Lyrics
Here goes Nothin:
Chorus:
I'll tell you a story of two Arashikage Ninjas
Storm Shadow the Redeemed and Snake Eyes the Bold
It's a story of two men, closer than brothers
The battles they fought and the honor they hold
Tommy Arashikage was born in San Francisco
When the time came he went to Japan
It was there he would learn the family business
For the Arashikage's were a Ninja Clan
In 1968, Tommy went in the army
They shipped him off quickly to VietNAM
There he would meet the man known only as Snake Eyes
And they'd bleed in the Jungle for old Uncle Sam
It was a hot rainy day late in September
Tommy and Snake Eyes out on long range patrol
When the shots rang out and men started dyin'
And it was certain the VC would take the squad whole
Three of em' made it, and they ran for the chopper
With the crack of a rifle Snake Eyes lay in the mud
Stalker said "leave him" but Tommy wouldn't have it
He rescued his friend and was drenched in his blood
Snake Eyes went home for his heroe's welcome
Tommy packed up and went back to Japan
But Snake Eyes pain wasn't over, Cause General Hawk told him
His family'd been killed by a drunk drivin' man
Snake Eyes pain grew and he fell in the bottle
He did bad things with an evil man
Tommy said "Snake, you're comin with me
He saved his life again and took him to Japan
Together they trained in the ways of the ninja
They mastered the sword and they mastered the bow
Tommy grew jealous as Snake Eye's grew in favor
Their Hard Master was killed by Tommy's Arrow
That's all I've got. I've got a couple more verses, just need to flesh them out. LMK what you think.
