[Verse 1]
[Am]The stories of the s[C]treet are mine,
the [Em]Spanish voices [Bm]laugh
The Ca[Am]dillacs go creep[C]ing down
through the [Em]night and the poison [Bm]gas
[Am]I lean from my win[F]dowsill
in this [G]old [F#]hotel I chose
[B]Yes, one[E] hand on my sui[A]cide,
one [E]hand on [D]the rose[A][D][A][Am]
I know you've heard it's [C]over now,
[Em]and war must surely come
[Bm]The citi[Am]es they are brok[C]en at,
and the [Em]middlemen are gone
[Bm]Let me a[Am]sk you one more t[F]ime,
oh chil[G]dren [F#]of the dust
[B]Those [E]hunters who are [A]shrieking now,
do [E]they speak for [D]us?[A][Am]
Where do all these high[C]ways go,
[Em]now that we are [Bm]free?
[Am]Why are the armies m[C]arching still,
[Em]never coming home to me?
[Bm]Oh, [Am]lady, with your [F]legs so fine
Oh, [G]stranger, [F#]at your will
[B]You are loc[E]ked in to your suf[A]fering
And your [E]pleasures are to [D]see[A][Am]
The age of lust is giving [C]birth
And [Em]both the parents ask the [Bm]nurse
To tell [Am]them fairy [C]tales
On [Em]both sides of the [Bm]glass
Now [Am]the infant with [F]his cord
Is [G]howling [F#]like a [B]kite
And [E]one eye filled with [A]blueprints
It's [E]what I feel [D]with [A]night[Am]
Oh, come with me, my [C]little one
An[Em]d we will find a far[Bm]m
And [Am]crow has grass and [C]apples there
To keep [Em]all the animals warm
[Bm]And if b[Am]y chance I wake a[F]t night
And I [G]ask you [F#]who I am
[B]Oh, tak[E]e me to the sla[A]ughterhouse
I will [E]wait there with the [D]lamb[A][Am]
With one hand on [C]a haxaphrine
And one [Em]hand on a girl
[Bm]I ba[Am]lance on a wis[C]hing well
That [Em]all men call the [Bm]world
We are [Am]so small be[F]tween the stars
So [G]large again[F#]st the sky
[B]And los[E]t among the serpen[A]t grass
I [E]tried to catch your eye
[D][A][Am]
