Intro 1
(G major)
Verse 1
(G major) Strayed out of Gettysburg,
dressed in rags and all alone
Riding on a dead horse
with a head of stone (D major)
With the (G major) ribbons in her hands
(C major) And her boot (G major) s over her shoulder,
she didn't sing no songs of (C major) peace
when the (G major) war was (D major) over
With her face (G major) dirty and ragged,
not a penny in her pocket either
She set the woods on fire
when the dogs refused to feed (D major) her
And in the (G major) pale light of the morning,
by the (C major) river where she (G major) shaves her head
The waves, they're all fear
at the (C major) darkest night (D major)
Oh, we all got plenty to take
care of when we die (G major)
Isn't it a cool fountain evening
When she dances beneath the rain
Like random rhythms that
drive black (D major) dust insane
Like an era scream (G major) ing at her pleasures (C major)
Like poems (G major) in the air
(C major) You can (G major) hear them from the jungle
all (C major) the way (G major) to (D major) Is rael
Where they bounce (G major) off the walls
that wail so deep
To keep religious yearnings
(C major) on their (D major) knees
And in the (C major) outskirts (G major) of the country
where (D major) the (C major) dead flower (D major) s grow
(G major) She stands there visible (C major) but out of sight (D major)
We all got plenty to take care of when
we die (G major) (A minor) (G major) (C major) (G major) (A minor) (G major) (D major)
(G major) She's got a brand new disposition
(C major) She can suck the blood (G major) out of the land
(C major) She was (G major) born in the kitchen
Daddy (C major) was the (G major) singer in a (D major) country band
With (G major) her crimson colored underwear
(C major) That (G major) she stole from a gypsy queen (C major)
She took (G major) them just in order
to seduce (C major) a million men at
the factor (D major) ies
She's been a two (G major) -dollar whore
with (C major) the dia (G major) monds on her hands
(C major) She's (G major) been hanging round the cross
(C major) just as he (D major) used to stand
Then she rises (C major) with (G major) the eagles
and (C major) sees her broth (G major) ers there
Like two (C major) sacrilegious virgins
(G major) giving her (D major) the sky
We all got plenty to take care
of when we die (G major) (D major)
(G major) There's (C major) a pain (G major) in her body
(C major) where blood (G major) used to linger
(C major) She (D major) was doomed (G major) for destruction
long before she (C major) became (D major) a sinner
(G major) And the rage and glory
is (C major) (G major) shining out of her misery
(C major) What a (G major) brilliant disguise
to black (D major) up history
And her (G major) mercenary soul
(D major) falls down (G major) to the ground
Drops dead like a stone
(C major) with only birds (D major) around
Baby, (C major) ain't it sad (G major) the way
the world goes around
When your (C major) eyes are too weak
(D major) to see the light
Oh, we all got (G major) plenty to (D major) take (G major) care of
(D major) when we die
Outro 1
(G major) (C major) (G major)
