Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Sheep to [C]the slaughter
Oh, this [G]must be love
All [D]your sons and daughters in [C]a strangle,
all with a [G]kid [C]glove
[D]Eyes [C]like saucers; oh,
you think she`s a [G]dish
[D]She is the blue [C]chip that

[Verse 2]
belongs to the big fish
[C]
Big [D]sister will be [G]watching over [C]you
Sister see, sister [F]do[G]
She`s got to [C]save me
She`s got you playing Russian [D]Roulette
Sport of [G]kings, the old [Cm]queen`sheart
The prince [Eb]of dark[F]ness stole some [Bb]tart
It`s in the pa[G]pers,
it`s in [Cm]the charts
It`s in the stop [F]press before it all starts
[G]

[Verse 3]
With a [D]hammer and a slap [C]`n` tickle
in inquisitive gar[G]ments
With [D]all the style [C]and
[finesse] purchase of [G]arma[C]ments
Com[D]passion went out of fash[C]ion,
that`s all your con[G]cernment
Sweat it [D]out for thirty [C]seconds on
all [G]the [C]prudeness

[Verse 4]
[D]Big sister will be watch[G]ing over [C]you
Sister see, sister [F]do
She`s got [G]to [C]save me
She`s got you playing
Russian Roul[D]ette
She`s got [C]to save me
She`s got you playing

[Outro 1]
Russian Roulette
[D][D][D]
