   / Mr. Bungle     /  I transcribed this great surrealistic song since it's one
  / Sweet Charity  /  of the most catchy songs on the album. These chords is a
 / California     /  more general but advanced description of the song, where
/________________/  I've notated but chords, time signatures, keys and least of
                   all tempos. But if you want to learn the particular parts,
                  check out my guitar pro tab of the song. It doesn't of course
                 include all the elements, but mainly the bass and guitar.

Save me
The heavens have opened
The storm is over
So let's start the parade
Raindrops will turn to laughter
Forever after
In your Technicolor heartbeat
And they say that it helps you forget everything

Sweet charity

You drink your poison from a cup of gold
Your gift keeps on giving and giving
Perfect photographs of Everest days and postcard nights
Tearing through the paper walls of time
With sunset eyes
Telethons, Grand Canyon hearts
You numb your mind
With gloves of white and turpentine
Even the bombs and scarecrows will sing

Sweet charity

Save me
The heavens have opened
And I'm alone
Sweet charity

Save me
The heavens have opened
I'm coming home
Sweet charity

Save me
Asylums have opened
I'm coming home
Sweet charity

I'm home, free

Sweet charity
Sweet charity
Sweet charity
Sweet charity
Sweet charity
