Capo 2nd fret
Intro:Am (4 bars)
(Verse)
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.
(Chorus)
It?s a dirty job but they?re very suave
Jesus high on wine drinking turpentine
(Verse)
Daddy?s voice like an intercom connected to a hidden room
Were yellow roses bloom
A sacred mountain near Peterborough where clouds paint a
picture so calm that they swallowed mom.
(Chorus)
It?s a dirty job but they?re very suave
Jesus high on wine weeping turpentine
What are they doing in there? Have they got guns?
Make you run up and down the same hill
And they?ll break your will.
(Guitar solo)-repeat verse section 2x
(Verse)
Was it Christmas or groundhog day when your friends turned
to shadows and they dragged you away.
Tell nobody that you?ve been here don?t breath a word that?s
been said. Now there?s a scar(whispered)upon your forehead.
(Chorus)
It?s a dirty job but they?re very suave
Jesus high on wine weeping turpentine
What are they doing in there? Have they got guns?
Whether Mt. Pinutubo or the threat of God?s love
There?ll always be something that?s raining
