[Intro 1]
[G][C][F][Dm][G][Am]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[C]Jesus
hangs behind the [F]glass
Above Venetian [G]doors
His window box boasts crimson [Am]flowers
Fresh cut the [G]day be[C]fore

[Verse 2]
And you couldn't [C]find [F]a smile
If you nailed it to his [Dm]face[G]
But Jesus Christ [Am]hangs
his head with [G]grace

[Verse 3]
And [F]if Venice is [C]sinking
I'm going [G]under[Em][F]
'Cause beauty's religion
And its [C]Christened me with [G]wonder
[C]

[Interlude 1]
[F][Dm][G][Am]
[G][C]

[Verse 4]
They come in [C]bent-backed
Creaking [F]Creaking 'cross the
floor all dressed in black
[G]Candles, thick as pillars
You can [Am]buy one off [G]the floor[C]
And the ceiling's painted [F]gold
Mary's hair is [Dm]red[G]
The old come here to [Am]kiss their [G]dead

[Verse 5]
And [F]if [C]Venice is [F]sinking[C]
I'm going [G]under[F]
'Cause [C]beauty's [F]religion
And its [C]Christened me with wonder

[Verse 6]
We made [C]love upon a bed
[F]That sagged down to [G]the floor
In a room that [Dm]had a post
[Am]card on the door[G][C]
Of Marini's Little Man
[F]With an erection on a hor[Dm]se[G]
It always leaves me [Am]laughing
Leaves me feel[G]ing that of course [F]if

[Verse 7]
Venice [F]is sinking
[C]I'm going un [G]der[Em][F]
'Cause beauty's religion
And its [C]Christened me with [G]wonder

[Verse 8]
[F]And if Venice is [C]sinking
I'm going [G]under[F]
'Cause beauty's religion
And its [C]Christened [G]me [C]with [G]wonder[C]
