Biography:
Pearls Before Swine was an American psychedelic folk band formed by Tom Rapp in 1965 in Melbourne, Florida, United States. The group signed to ESP Disk and recorded One Nation Underground, a fairly successful release that was followed by the anti-war Balaklava (1968). In the next few years, Rapp often referred onstage, not quite seriously, to the group as "the house band for the SDS" (Students for a Democratic Society). They continued to release albums and to tour until the 1970s

A C#m7 F#7 Bm
The jeweler has a shop on the corner of the boulevard
G Bm F#
In the night in small spectacles he polishes old coins
Em Am
He uses spit and cloth and ashes
Em Am
He makes them shine with ashes
Em Am
He knows the use of ashes
F# G
He worships God with ashes
The coins are often very old by the time they reach the jeweler
With his hands and ashes he will try the best he can
He knows that he can only shine them
Cannot repair the scratches
F# D7
He knows that even new coins have scars so he just smiles
G C G C
He knows the use of ashes la dada dada da da
G C G C F#
He worships God with ashes la dada dah da dada dah
(same chords as verse 2)
3 In the darkest of the night both his hands will blister badly
They will often open painfully and the blood flows from his hands
He works to take from black coin faces the thumbprints from so many ages
He wishes he could cure the scars
When he forgets he sometimes cries
He knows the use of ashes
He worships God with ashes
(repeat 1st chorus)
