[Intro 1]
[Am]
[F][Em][Dm]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Palms are fitted black
[G]and finely tun[Am]ed[F][Em][Am]
To triggers, cause [G]bodies
that tremble
[F]

[Verse 2]
[Am][Dm]
But this [Am]mud looks shallow
[G]from the beach
When we [F]hide behind such
[Am]ugly [E]fac[Dm]es
[Am]And the dark eyed woman
[G]lifts her head
"Why do we [F]hide behind
such [E]ugly [Dm]faces?"

[Verse 3]
[Am]Child-bearing games
games
[G]From the[Am] streets dow[G]n
[Dm]to the shores
[G]They're [Em]playing as [Am]waterways [G]open
In an [Am]ob s[G]cene g[Dm]aping ga[G]sp[Em]
[Am]But this

[Verse 4]
mud looks shallow
from the beach
[G]When we [F]hide behind such [Em]ugly [Dm]faces
[Am]And the dark eyed woman lifts her head
"Why do we [F]hide behind such
[Em]ugly [Dm]faces?"
[Am]

[Verse 5]
[F][Am]
"Rally all your men
(rally all your men)
There is [Dm]work to be done"
(there's work to [C]be done)
[G]Still we [Am]don't have the time for
speaking out of [Dm]place
[C][G][Am]

[Verse 6]
He won't come [Dm]down
[C](he won't [Am]come down)
He won't come [Dm]down
(he won't come down)

[Verse 7]
[Am]When[Dm]
[Am]leng[G]ths [Dm]of snakes[G]
[Am]match each silent syll[Dm]able
"With [Am]eyes like these"
Face glistening with suspense
[G]of a scalpel blade
[Dm]Clockwork, calculat[G]ing
[Am]surgic[G]al pre[Am]cision

[Verse 8]
But this mud [Am]looks shallow
from [G]the beach
When [F]we hide behind [Am]such [Em]ugly [Dm]faces
[Am]And the dark eyed woman lifts her head
[G]"Why do we hid[F]e behind such ugl[E]y fac[Am]es?"
[Dm][Am][Dm][Am][Dm][F]

[Verse 9]
[Am]
"Rally all your men (rally all your men)
There is [Dm]work to be [C]done"
(there's work to be [G]done)
Still we [Am]don't have the time for speaking
out of [Dm]place
[C][G][Am]

[Verse 10]
He won't come [Dm]down
[C](he won't [Am]come down)
He won't come [Dm]down
[C](he won't [Am]come down)
He won't come [Dm]down
[C](he won't [Am]come down)
He won't come [Dm]down (he won't
come [Am]down)
[Dm][G][Dm][G]

[Verse 11]
[Am]La, la, la da [Dm]da
[Am]La, la, la da da
La, la, la da da
[Dm]La, [Am]la, la da d[Dm]a
La, [G]la, la da da
[Am]La, la, la da da
[G]La, la, la da da
La, [Am]la, la da da

[Verse 12]
[Am]Palms are fitted black and finely
[F]tuned[Am]
To stomachs that swallowed whole
that bayou
[Dm][Am]

[Verse 13]
[Dm]
But this [Am]mud looks shallow
[G]from the beach
When [Dm]we hide [F]behind such [Am]ugly [Dm]faces
[Am]And the dark eyed woman
[G]lifts [Am]her head
"Why do we hide behind such ugly faces?"
