 Mmm...  


Verse 1: (0:18-)

E5                          B5           E5  
   Walking the street with her naked feet
   So  full of  rhythm  but I  can't find the beat
   Snapping her heels          clicking her toes

E5           F#5    B5             
 Everybody knows   just  where she goes
B5         
           Ah,

Chorus 1: (0:3(b9))
~~~~~~~~~
G5     D5                        E5    D5   
 Fear,   fear -she's the mother of vio-lence
C5              G5          A5    G5        
 making me tense to watch the way she breed

D5                        E5    D5   E5 
 Fear, she's the mother of vio-lence
   C5         G5         C5     B5     
You know self-de- fense is all you need
 |        |                 | C7M   | (X 4 bars)
   It's getting hard to breathe

B5                          C5 (X 4 bars)
        It's getting so hard to be-lieve
B5       D5        E5 D5   G5   G4G5      
        to be-lieve in any-thing at all


[Verse 2] (1:26-)

E5                       D5         E5  
   Mouth all dry            eyes blood shot
      data   stored  on  a  microdot
  Kicking the cloud with my moccasin shoes

E5    F#5  B5       
   T.V. dinner, T.V. news
B5           
    Ha, ha, 'cos


[Chorus2] (1:47-)

G5     D5                        E5    D5  
 Fear,   fear -she's the mother of vio-lence
      C5             G5          A5    G5       
 don't make any sense to watch the way she breed

D5                        E5    D5   
 Fear, she's the mother of vio-lence
C5              G5          A5    B5    
 making me tense to watch the way she feed
               C5                 
 The only way you know she's there

B5                         C5 
     Is the subtle flavour in the air
          |         |         | 
  Getting hard to breathe
B5           D5     E5    D5       
       hard to be-lieve in any-thing at all

G5   G4G5
