Governed by greed and lust? F#m7+5 F#m7+5 Just the strong doing what they can and the weak suffering what they must? CHORUS: D11 E11 D11 E11 And the gas leaks, and the oil spills D11 E11 E9 F#m7+5 And sex sells everything, sex kills E9 F#m7+5 Whoa sex kills Doctor's pills give you brand new ills and the bills bury you like an avalanche Lawyers haven't been this popular since Robespierre slaughtered half of France And Indian chiefs with their old beliefs know, the balance is undone, crazy ions You can feel it out in traffic, everyone hates everyone CHORUS All these jackoffs at the office, the rapist in the pool Oh and the tragedies in the nurseries, little kids packin' guns to school The ulcerated ozone, these tumors of the skin This hostile sun beatin down on this massive mess we're in CHORUS Sex kills Oh sex kills Sex kills CHORDS: E9 F#m7+5 Bm7+5 D11 E11 D 0 0 0 5 7 A 9 7 12 5 7 G 9 7 12 5 7 D 9 7 12 5 7 B 9 7 12 5 7 E 0 0 0 5 7 NOTE: Before each chord (except E11 and D11) play this riff: A --------| D --------| G --------| D --------| B -3/5----|(then the chord) E -----0--| Also, Joni plays this all the way down in C G Bb Eb G Bb, but noone's going to be the wiser if you play it in E B D G A D, the same tuning as Crosby, Stills and Nash's Guinnevere and much easier to tune to. And thanks to Howard who has already posted the gist of this earlier.
