Your mother made you cry when she told you about the womb

And how people die.

Watching over you when you were young smiling as you learned

to crawl. You don?t know her at all.

It?s a dirty job but they?re very suave
F C E Am
Jesus high on wine drinking turpentine

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

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
