Intro: G7 A7 G7 A7 

E7 
"Look into my eyes" he tells her 
E7 
"I'm gonna say goodbye" he says yeah 
E7 
"Do not cry" she begs of him goodbye yeah 
E7 
All that day she thinks of his love yeah 

G7                                                 C7  
They whip him through the streets and alleys there 
G7                                            C7 
The gormless and the baying crowd right there 
E7 
They can't get enough of that doomsday song 
E7 
They can't get enough of it all 

E7 
Listen 

G7                                  C7 
"Listen to the whores" he tells her 
G7                                   C7 
He fashions paper sculptures of them 
G7                             A7 
Then drags them to the rivers bank in the cart 
G7                            A7 
Their soggy paper bodies wash ashore in the dark 
        G7                       A7 
And the priest stiff in hate now demanding fun begin 
             Bm7                    C#7 
Of his women dressed as men for the pleasure of that priest 

E7 
Here I am 
E7 
Not quite dying 
E7 
My body left to rot in a hollow tree 
E7 
Its branches throwing shadows 
E7 
On the gallows for me 
E7 
And the next day 
E7 
And the next 
E7 
And another day 

G7 A7 G7 A7 

E7 
Ignoring the pain of their particular diseases 
E7 
They chase him through the alleys chase him down the steps 
E7 
They haul him through the mud and they chant for his death 
E7 
And drag him to the feet of the purple headed priest 


G7                                           C7 
First they give you everything that you want 
G7                                           C7  
Then they take back everything that you have 
G7                                 A7 
They live upon their feet and they die upon their knees 
G7                                  A7 
They can work with satan while they dress like the saints 
G7                           A7 
They know god exists for the devil told them so 
     Bm7                                C#7 
They scream my name aloud down into the well below 

E7 
Here I am 
E7 
Not quite dying 
E7 
My body left to rot in a hollow tree 
E7 
Its branches throwing shadows 
E7 
On the gallows for me 
E7 
And the next day 
E7 
And the next 
E7 
And another day
