Intro:
~~~~~~
||Em | |Bm |Em || (X 4)
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#/A# |B | |
Everybody knows just where she goes
|B/A | |
Ah,
Chorus 1: (0:39-)
~~~~~~~~~
|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
| | |Cmaj7 |(X 4 bars)
It's getting hard to breathe

|Bm/D | | | |Cmaj7 |(X 4 bars)
It's getting so hard to be-lieve
|Bm/D | |D Em |D7/F# |G |Gsus4|G | ||
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#/A# |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
| | |Cmaj7 | | | |
The only way you know she's there
|Bm/D | | | |Cmaj7 |
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 |Gsus4|G |
Coda: (2:34-)
||Em | |D |Em || (X 3)
but fear...
||Em | |D |Em || (X 4)
