Israel Chords

(ver. 1)
Morrissey
[Intro]
Bm
Cm

[Verse 1]
       Cm
You realize, if you're happy
      Ab
Jesus sends you straight to hell?
    Eb      G
Israel, Israel

[Verse 2]
Cm
And should you dare enjoy your body
           Ab
Here tolls Hades' welcome bell
    Eb      G
Israel, Israel

[Verse 3]
       Cm
You've found a middle-course existence
          Ab
We're all bones and flesh and shell
    Eb      G
Israel, Israel

[Bridge]
Ab             Fm              Cm
I can't answer for what armies do
             Ab
They are not you
             Fm
They are not you
             G   G7
They are not you

[Verse 4]
   Cm
In other climes, they b**ch and whine
       Ab
Just because you're not like them
    Eb      G
Israel, Israel

[Verse 5]
    Cm
The sky is dark for many others
             Ab
They want it dark for you as well
    Eb      G
Israel, Israel

[Verse 6]
Cm
Earth is just one big asylum
      Ab
And explodes a prison cell
        Eb
See us squirm
                   G
In our own damaged spell

[Verse 7]
         Cm
You were born as guilty sinners
            Ab
Before you stood upright you fell
        Eb                       G
Put the fear of many gods in Israel

[Verse 8]
Cm
Nature gave you every impulse
        Ab
Who are virgin priests to tell
            Eb                     G
Who, how to love, how to live, Israel

[Verse 9]
             Cm
And they who reign abuse upon you
         Ab
They are jealous of you as well
         Eb                     G   Cm
Love yourself as you should, Israel
