Gaug  Ab5  B5   E5    E5
F#5    B5    E5   Ab5  Ab5
Gaug  Ab5   B5   E5   E5
F#5    B5    F#5  F#5   F#5  F#5
Gaug  Ab5  B5   E5    E5
F#5    B5    E5   Ab5  Ab5
Gaug  Ab5   B5   E5   E5
F#5    B5    F#5  E5    F#5  F#5

           Gaug  Ab5           
He made an enemy then
           B5        E5          E5
he made an enemy of all of you
     F#5 B5        E5   Ab5 
It's him , not you
          Gaug          Ab5
You never heard it from me
         B5             E5         E5   
But there's a breech in the hull where the truth
    F#5          B5       F#5    F#5
And the water's too deep to prove
           Gaug  Ab5
He made an enemy then
           B5        E5          E5
He made an enemy of all of you
     F#5 B5        E5   Ab5 
It's him , not you
       Gaug       Ab5
It's a little red sea
   B5       E5        E5
Let the miracle worker go free
        F#5        B5          F#5        E5
See the paddle go up and the paddle go down
        F#5        B5          F#5        E5
See the paddle go up and the paddle go down
        F#5        B5          F#5        E5
See the paddle go up and the paddle go down
      F#5         F#5
And a man falls in the sea

Eb5         Ab5         E5
  He was a man of many nations
      Eb5      Ab5                       E5  Eb5
Had a hundred souls and a hundred to go
         Ab5         E5
He was a man of many nations
    Eb5          Ab5                          E5   Eb5   
Two hearts, two hands, it's a slippery slope
         Ab5           E5
He had a fear of being naked
           Eb5        Ab5                          E5  Eb5
But you're any other man in another man's clothes
         Ab5         E5
He was a man of many nations
     Eb5         Ab5              E5  Eb5
With revelations, oh revelations
      Ab5            E5     
He wrote a book about the Bible
Eb5         Ab5                       E5  Eb5
He wrote a book about men in the sky
           Ab5            E5                            Eb5
He wrote a book about the smell of the winter and then two...
  Ab5                   E5       
A little less simple to decipher
      Eb5         Ab5          E5         
Saying "I am the water at the foot of the palms,
   Eb5       Ab5                  E5     
Or I am sand and wind, and a shitty mirage,
           Eb5         Ab5        E5
But either way, I'm a man of many nations!"


      B5     
Was it the mending of the gown,
       F#5       
Or the running it around?
           Eb5               
Was it the mending of the gown,
       F#5
Or the running and the running it around?


     D5         G5
She had a name, she had a spirit

          A5                       G5
She had a line in the play if you waited to hear it
      D5         G5
But a master of disguises...
    A5              G5
Her demise was her design, they said
            D5              G5
"Was it the mending of the gown
       A5                               G5
or the running and the running and the running it around?"
              D5                      G5
She said: "My name and my spirit are both corrupted
       A5                       G5
If you hold me close you gotta hold me up!
           D5              G5               A5
It was the tender meaning of this slender gown

           G5          D5
That brought me bending to the ground
      G5        A5            G5
Now you'll wear any old thing, oh you'll wear any old thing"
       D5                  G5
So she wrapped herself in swaddling
    A5                   G5
That the fever deviated to a broken wing
         D5             G5
"It's an act, I think she's just pretending"
    A5          G5
"It's an act, I think she's just pretending"
      D5               G5
And I will burn the virgin flags
      A5         G5         D5
And I will shake (shake) as the heat waves in the sand
          G5            A5
This one's for Maggie (This one's for Maggie)
          G5         D5
This one's for Sam (This one's for Sam )
          G5            A5
This one's for Maggie (This one's for Maggie)
          G5         D5
This one's for Sam (This one's for Sam )
       G5            A5            G5
Or any other random spirit lover busted
       D5            G5    A5  G5
I have lusted after you
             D5          G5
The way bloodsuckers do
             A5          G5
The way bloodsuckers do
        A5     E5  F5  F#5  G5
The way bloodsuckers do
      D5
Was it the mending of the gown,

       A5
Or the running it around?
      F#5
Was it the mending of the gown,

       A5
Or the running it around?

      Bbaug  B5      D5       G5     A5
It was the tender mending of this slender gown
     D5          G5       B5     Bbaug
That brought me bending to the ground
        B5      D5         G5
But this ship was built to go down
   A5     D5        A5         G5
See the paddle go up and the paddle go down
   A5     D5        A5         G5
See the paddle go up and the paddle go down
   A5     D5        A5         G5
See the paddle go up and the paddle go down
   A5     D5        A5         G5
See the paddle go up and the paddle go down
      A5        D5   A5     G5
Oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh (x16)
