[Intro 1]
[Em]
[F#m][Em][A][F#m]
[Em][D][Em][A][F#m]

[Verse 1]
[Em]My
eyes scroll to the back of my head
When the Lord's name
taken in vain
Keepsake battalions, phantom couplets
A new tactile cremation attested
[G]Opaque spurs,
contem[A]plative mayhem keeps us

[Verse 2]
[Em]Branded on the wrist "Do
not embalm"
A paper nest truancy of wasps
Wrap me up in mylar film
The anachronism enacts
the indigenous
[G]Prolonged exposure to com[A]bustible[Em]
[D]nat[Em]ivism[Dm][Em]

[Verse 3]
Thirty days spent in the hole
Raise yourself a May Day pole
Inoculated at the liquor store
[D]Drunk on the piss of sy[A]camore embers

[Interlude 1]
[Em][A][G]
[Em][A][F#m][Em][D][F#m][Em][Bm][A]
[F#m]

[Verse 4]
The [Em]hospice waltz of corpus flowers
Leaves pinko fumes from turret guns
Sawing at the base of pylon towers
Banking on the drought
banking on the tower
[G]Opaque spurs,
I've de[A]feated every crypt

[Verse 5]
In the pot[Em]ter's field of Machuca
Calling from the blossoming dust
Slid down the bank, choking on shit
A new tactile cremation attested
To [G]opaque spurs, contemplat[A]ive mayhem keeps
us to[G]gether
[Em]

[Verse 6]
[Em]Thirty days spent in the hole
Raise yourself a May Day pole
Inoculated at the liquor store
Drunk [D]on the piss of sy
[A]camore embers

[Verse 7]
[Em]Thirty days spent in the hole
Raise yourself a May Day pole
Inoculated at the liquor store
[D]Drunk on the piss of sy[A]camore embers

[Verse 8]
[Em]Raise your May Day poles
Raise your [D]May Day [A]poles[G][A]
[Em][D][Em][D][A]

[Verse 9]
[G]
Put [A]your [Em]heart in a safe
[D]Throw it [Em]in wet ce[G]ment
[A]Never speak of this to [G]a living soul
[A]Heed the [Em]mercury blots
Of [D]this [Em]Rorschach [D]advice
[A]No good will come of your
[G]insect rebel[A]lion
[Em]

[Verse 10]
[Em]Thirty days spent in the hole
Raise yourself a May Day pole
Inoculated at the liquor store
[D]Drunk on the piss of sy[A]camore embers

[Verse 11]
[Em]Raise your May Day poles
Raise your May Day poles
Raise your May Day poles
Raise your May Day poles
