(Verse)
Am Dm Am F G Dm
Your mother made you cry when she told you about the womb
G E Am
And how people die.
Am Dm Am F G
Watching over you when you were young smiling as you learned
Dm G E Am
to crawl. You don’t know her at all.
(Chorus)
Am F C E Am
It’s a dirty job but they’re very suave
F C E Am
Jesus high on wine drinking turpentine
(Verse)
Am Dm Am F G Dm
Daddy’s voice like an intercom connected to a hidden room
G E Am
Were yellow roses bloom
Am Dm Am F
A sacred mountain near Peterborough where clouds paint a
G Dm E Am
picture so calm that they swallowed mom.
(Chorus)
Am F C E Am
It’s a dirty job but they’re very suave
F C E Dm
Jesus high on wine weeping turpentine
Dm Am
What are they doing in there? Have they got guns?
F C Dm
Make you run up and down the same hill
E Am
And they’ll break your will.
(Guitar solo)-repeat verse section 2x
(Verse)
Am Dm Am F
Was it Christmas or groundhog day when your friends turned
G Dm G E Am
to shadows and they dragged you away.
Am Dm Am F G
Tell nobody that you’ve been here don’t breath a word that’s
Dm G E Am
been said. Now there’s a scar(whispered)upon your forehead.
(Chorus)
Am F C E Am
It’s a dirty job but they’re very suave
F C E Dm
Jesus high on wine weeping turpentine
Dm Am
What are they doing in there? Have they got guns?
Dm Am E
Whether Mt. Pinutubo or the threat of God’s love
F C Dm
There’ll always be something that’s raining
E Am
