Biography:
Reverend Glasseye (formerly known as Reverend Glasseye and his Wooden Legs) is a weird-dark-cabaret-folk-circus-gospel-alt-country-rock band from Boston, Massachusetts. Formed in 2000 the band is primarily the brainchild of Adam Glasseye (ex-member of Slim Cessna's Auto Club) and Timothy Maher (drums, also of Slim Cessna's Auto Club). They have been compared to bands like Squirrel Nut Zippers, Blanche or Kaleidepy and their music has been labeled "dark salvation music".

Reverend Glasseye and His Wooden Legs - God Help You Dumb Boy
From the album "Our Lady of the Broken Spine"
Am
Dumb boy, what do you say?
F Am
My eyes are lazy, my skin's a flake
Am
But what good can you do?
F Am
Well, not so much as men like you
Am
Dumb boy, what do you see?
E Am
The lesser men coming down on me
Am
Tell us, what will you do?
Dm Am
I'll let my axe come down on you!
E
Here by the water, I'll raise my kingdom
G
I'll find my foliage
F
I'll raise my arms and
E
I'll say my name with, with 'glory be's' and
E
Here by the water! I'll raise my temple
G F E
Where no man shall be as small as me!
E Dm E
But I can't load the bullets and I can't use the gun
Dm E
Can't have no children so I won't have a son
Dm E
Can't wake up early so nothing will grow
Dm E
I'll just lay on my lands 'til the sun hangs low,
Dm E
'Til the sun hangs low!
Dm E
I'll lay on my lands 'til the sun hangs low!
Am
Dumb boy, you've done wrong
F Am
Now by what right do you good men judge?
Am
You are in the contempt of man
F Am
Then gag my mouth and bind my hands!
Am
Dumb boy, what are you seeing?
E Am
Ha, your guns they are empty, your rope it is frayed!
Am
Tell us, what did you say?
Dm Am
In your empty chest, my axe I will lay!
E
Here by the water, I'll raise my kingdom
G
I'll find my foliage
F
I'll raise my arms and
E
I'll say my name with, with 'glory be's' and
E
Here by the water! I'll raise my temple
G F E
Where no man shall be as small as me!
E Dm E
But I can't load the bullets and I can't use the gun
Dm E
Can't have no children so I won't have a son
Dm E
Can't wake up early so nothing will grow
Dm E
I'll just lay on my lands 'til the sun hangs low,
Dm E
'Til the sun hangs low!
Dm E
I'll lay on my lands 'til the sun hangs low!
E
E E E
Speak and follow, your words are hollow
G E G
Your steps are heavy,
E E
you will not save me
E E E
Speak and follow, your words are hollow
E
Your steps are heavy,
E
you will not save me!
