 Mmm...  


Verse 1: (0:18-)

Em                          Bm7           Em  
   Walking the street with her naked feet
   So  full of  rhythm  but I  can't find the beat
   Snapping her heels          clicking her toes

Em           F#/Bb    B             
 Everybody knows   just  where she goes
B/A         
           Ah,

Chorus 1: (0:3(b9))
~~~~~~~~~
G     D/F#                        Em    D   
 Fear,   fear -she's the mother of vio-lence
C              G/B          Am7    G        
 making me tense to watch the way she breed

D/F#                        Em    D/E   Em 
 Fear, she's the mother of vio-lence
   C         G/B         C6     Bm/D     
You know self-de- fense is all you need
 |        |                 | C7M   | (X 4 bars)
   It's getting hard to breathe

Bm/D                          C7M (X 4 bars)
        It's getting so hard to be-lieve
Bm/D       D        Em D7/F#   G   G4G      
        to be-lieve in any-thing at all


[Verse 2] (1:26-)

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

Em    F#/Bb  B       
   T.V. dinner, T.V. news
B/A           
    Ha, ha, 'cos


[Chorus2] (1:47-)

G     D/F#                        Em    D  
 Fear,   fear -she's the mother of vio-lence
      C             G/B          Am7    G       
 don't make any sense to watch the way she breed

D/F#                        Em    D   
 Fear, she's the mother of vio-lence
C              G/B          Am7    Bm/D    
 making me tense to watch the way she feed
               C7M                 
 The only way you know she's there

Bm/D                         C7M 
     Is the subtle flavour in the air
          |         |         | 
  Getting hard to breathe
Bm/D           D     Em    D7/F#       
       hard to be-lieve in any-thing at all

G   G4G
