Lambs At The Slaughter Chords

(ver. 1)
Defiance Ohio
The other tab posted was pretty poor so I corrected a few things. Let me know if 
there's anything I need to change. 

Intro: G C G D G

G
When you're a sheep in wolf's clothing,
          C                G
you have big, important friends, 
                                                   D               G
who with a twinkle in their eyes say they'll be with you 'til the end. 

They invite you out to ice cream, 
       C                  G
they insist you eat your fill, 
                                         D                 G
then they smile at each other and they stick you with the bill. 
C                                                    G
They giggle extra hard when you max out your credit card.


When you're a sheep in wolf's clothing, 
          C                     G
you're watched over by your friends, 
                                         D                G
they hook you up with an apartment in a big, barbed-wire pen, 
                                              C           G
and they come and pinch your cheeks with such fatherly affection, 
                                      D             G
and they tap into your e-mail solely for your own protection. 
C                                                                     G
If they counted votes from black sheep, would they still win their elections?

                                          C              G
And you live a life of privilege in the shadow of your friends,
                                                 D         G
who've secured the greenest pastures with their business acumen, 
                                         C                 G
so you graze on the grasses and you're spared from ever thinking 
                                              D              G
or from knowing why your friends are always snickering and winking. 
C                                                 G
You're fed shock and awe and you swallow without blinking.

                                         C                G
Then one day, with dismay, your friends say you've been attacked,
                                             D                   G
but you can buy a shred of safety with the shirt right off your back 
                                   C                  G
and your sacrifice reveals, you patriotic sons and daughters 
                                                D             G
were once sheep in wolf's clothing now you're lambs at the slaughter.
