The promised land Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]We [D]cut our teeth on Billy's knife,
we threw petrol on the [G]fire
The [A]crowd were fish heads packed in tight,
[G]a thirsty view of desire
[A]Psy[G]cho[D]pathic personality girls,
an installation in [G]each hotel
Every [A]play, a lover's leap
fall[G]s onto the house [D]of hell[G]
We [D]were slow to show our heels,
we had faith in that expensive [G]car
[A]Crammed into a Ford Cortina,
so [G]damp it was growing [D]fur
[G]We [D]lived in Culler Land,
in covers we were fit[G]ting
[A]Social insecurity,
the bank [G]club at every [D]gate
[Am]He got a passport to the
prom[G]ised land
Where [Am]everything's recouped
and his nose hurts
[G]Fingers, cash [Em]and hand[D]
[G]The[D] dressing room's a m[A]atchbox
[D]Is this any way to earn a [A]crust?[G]
The stage [A]is a seducer, a doctor,
[G]a coyote you cannot tru[D]st[G]
[D]An other boring interview,
peccaries in the critical [G]zoo
Put [A]those parasites in our shoes
and I'll [G]bet they won't
have [D]a clue
[Am]Because a passport to the
prom[G]ised land
Where [Am]everything's a coot
and there's no such thing as
[G]cash [F]in hand[G][D][G][D]
The promised land, the promised land
The promised land, [G]the promised [D]land
Prom[G]ises prom[D]ises you
