Capo 2nd fret

Intro:Am (4 bars)

(Verse)
Am Dm Am F G Dm
Your mother made you cry when she told you about the womb

G E Am
And how people die.

Am Dm Am F G
Watching over you when you were young smiling as you learned

Dm G E Am
to crawl. You don’t know her at all.


(Chorus)
Am F C E Am
It’s a dirty job but they’re very suave

F C E Am
Jesus high on wine drinking turpentine


(Verse)
Am Dm Am F G Dm
Daddy’s voice like an intercom connected to a hidden room

G E Am
Were yellow roses bloom

Am Dm Am F
A sacred mountain near Peterborough where clouds paint a

G Dm E Am
picture so calm that they swallowed mom.


(Chorus)
Am F C E Am
It’s a dirty job but they’re very suave

F C E Dm
Jesus high on wine weeping turpentine

Dm Am
What are they doing in there? Have they got guns?


F C Dm
Make you run up and down the same hill

E Am
And they’ll break your will.


(Guitar solo)-repeat verse section 2x


(Verse)
Am Dm Am F
Was it Christmas or groundhog day when your friends turned

G Dm G E Am
to shadows and they dragged you away.

Am Dm Am F G
Tell nobody that you’ve been here don’t breath a word that’s

Dm G E Am
been said. Now there’s a scar(whispered)upon your forehead.


(Chorus)
Am F C E Am
It’s a dirty job but they’re very suave

F C E Dm
Jesus high on wine weeping turpentine

Dm Am
What are they doing in there? Have they got guns?

Dm Am E
Whether Mt. Pinutubo or the threat of God’s love

F C Dm
There’ll always be something that’s raining

E Am

E Am
Na na na na na na (fade to end)
