[Intro]
G A G A

[Verse 1]
E                            A E
Look into my eyes he tells her
E                                  A E
I'm gonna say goodbye he says yea
E                                    A E
Do not cry she begs of him goodbye yea
E                                      A
All that day she thinks of his love yea

[Verse 2]
G                                                C G
They whip him through the streets and alleys there
G                                            C
The gormless and the baying crowd right there
E                                         G   E
They can't get enough of that doomsday song
E                              G  E
They can't get enough of it all

E        G E
Listen

[Interlude]
E G

[Verse 3]
G                               C G
Listen to the whores he tells her
G                                   C
He fashions paper sculptures of them
      G                           A
Then drags them to the river's bank in the cart
       G                       A
Their soggy paper bodies wash ashore in the dark
        G                           A
And the priest stiff in hate now demanding fun begin
        Bm                            A
Of his women dressed as men for the pleasure of that priest

[Chorus]
E
Here I am
             D
Not quite dying
E                               D
My body left to rot in a hollow tree
    E
Its branches throwing shadows
                   D
On the gallows for me
E
And the next day

And the next
       D      E
And another day

[Interlude]
E, G E, G

[Verse 4]
   E                                         A E
Ignoring the pain of their particular diseases
E                                                         A E
They chase him through the alleys chase him down the steps
E                                                         A E
They haul him through the mud and they chant for his death
E                                                   A
And drag him to the feet of the purple headed priest

[Verse 5]
G                                            C G
First they give you everything that you want
G                                            C
Then they take back everything that you have
G                                   A
They live upon their feet and they die upon their knees
G                                   A
They can work with satan while they dress like the saints
G                             A
They know God exists for the devil told them so
       Bm                  A
They scream my name aloud down into the well below

[Chorus]
E
Here I am
             D
Not quite dying
E                               D
My body left to rot in a hollow tree
    E
Its branches throwing shadows
                   D
On the gallows for me
E
And the next day

And the next
       D      E
And another day

[Interlude]
