The Body Electric Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Sai[C]d you're gonna shoot [G]me down,
put my body in the river
Shoot me down, put my body in the river
While the [C]whole world sings,
sing it like a song
The whole world [Cm]sings like
there's [C]nothing going wrong

[Verse 2]
He [G]shot her down,
he put her body in the river
He covered her up, but I went to get her
And [C]I said, "My girl,
what happened to you now?"
I said, "My girl,

[Interlude 1]
we gotta stop it somehow"
[G]
[C][Cm]
[C]Oh, and

[Verse 3]
[G]tell me,
what's the man with a rifle in his hand
Gonna [C]do for a world that's
so sick an[Cm]d sa[C]d?
[G]Tell me, what's the man
with a rifle in his hand
Gonna [C]do for a world that's
all [Cm]gone mad?
He's [C]gonna shoot

[Verse 4]
[G]me down,
put my body in the river
Cover me up with the leaves of September
Like an [C]old sad song,
you heard it all before
Well, Delia's gone,

[Interlude 2]
but I'm settling the score
[G]
[C][Cm]
[C]Oh, and

[Verse 5]
[G]tell me,
what's the man with a rifle in his hand
Gonna [C]do for a world that's
just dying [Cm]slow?
[G]Tell me, what's the man
with a rifle in his hand
Gonna [C]do for his daughter
when it's [Cm]her turn to go?
