Among the headstones you played (Asus4)

Verse 5
Now you’ve got your own boys, (G major)
hell (Asus4) bent for leather (A major)
Dead before they’re 18, or (Asus4)
bitter old men forever (A major)
They never saw the halo
(A minor) moon rise (A major) over the river
Of Gethsemane (A minor) (G major) (A major)
Now there’s a pain in your
head (Asus4) puts lead in your shoes
(A major) Better get it seen to, (A minor)
it’s going to be (Asus4) bad news (A major)
How did the perfect world (A minor) (G major) get
(Asus4) so con (A major) fused (A minor) (G major) (Asus4)
O (A major) Gethsemane (A minor) (G major) (Asus4) (A major)
Verse 6
(F major) Who sucked out the freedom,
days (G major) without end
(A major) Under the weight (A minor) of it all (F major)
you must bend
‘O be (C major) something, (F major) be something fine!’
