Cannibals by Absent Elk

EWhere (022100@1)he grew up, the doors were locked

G#mAnd (133111@4)no one ever knew

A (x02220@1)                                EWhat (022100@1)went on behind those wooden walls

BThe (x2444x@1)place that he called home

The quiet type, tainted eyes
He paid for being kind
Most aren't when he'll never speak his mind
To say, "I watch the days go by"

Chorus x2:

A (x02220@1)                          E (022100@1)     BKeep (x2444x@1)the cannibals away from me

A (x02220@1)                          E (022100@1)      BKeep (x2444x@1)the cannibals away

Come this way someone say 
From down behind the crowd
Begging through the arrogance 
And a ray between the clouds

He found his love in an empty cup
He worked his own way up 
Everybody's out to get a cut
A bite of shameless and polite

Chorus x2:
Keep the cannibals away from me
Keep the cannibals away

C#mWhy (x13321@4)would I roll up my sleeves

BFor (x2444x@1)you to take it all from me?

A (x02220@1)        EI'll (022100@1)say it clear

F#m (244222@1)                   BThere's (x2444x@1)nothing for you here

C#mOh, (x13321@4)I should I get on my knees

BFor (x2444x@1)you to shake the rocking trees

A (x02220@1)         EI've (022100@1)heard it all

F#m (244222@1)                                             BThat (x2444x@1)double talk, and your smile, just wipe it off

Chorus to end:
Keep the cannibals away from me
Keep the cannibals away
