Gaug Abm
He made an enemy then
B E E
he made an enemy of all of you
F#m B E Abm
It's him, not you
Gaug Abm
You never heard it from me
B E6 E
But there's a breech in the hull where the truth
F# B F# F#
And the water's too deep to prove
Gaug Abm
He made an enemy then
B E E
He made an enemy of all of you
F#m B E Abm
It's him, not you
Gaug Abm
It's a little red sea
B E6 E
Let the miracle worker go free
F# B F# E
See the paddle go up and the paddle go down
F# B F# E
See the paddle go up and the paddle go down
F# B F# E
See the paddle go up and the paddle go down
F# F#
And a man falls in the sea

Eb Abm E
He was a man of many nations
Eb Abm E Eb
Had a hundred souls and a hundred to go
Abm E
He was a man of many nations
Eb Abm E Eb
Two hearts, two hands, it's a slippery slope
Abm E
He had a fear of being naked
Eb Abm E Eb
But you're any other man in another man's clothes
Abm E
He was a man of many nations
Eb Abm E Eb
With revelations, oh revelations
Abm E
He wrote a book about the Bible
Eb Abm E Eb
He wrote a book about men in the sky
Abm E Eb
He wrote a book about the smell of the winter and then two...
Abm E
A little less simple to decipher
Eb Abm E
Saying "I am the water at the foot of the palms,
Eb Abm E
Or I am sand and wind, and a shitty mirage,
Eb Abm E
But either way, I'm a man of many nations!"

Was it the mending of the gown,
F#
Or the running it around?
Eb
Was it the mending of the gown,
F#
Or the running and the running it around?


D G
She had a name, she had a spirit

A G
She had a line in the play if you waited to hear it
D G
But a master of disguises...
A G
Her demise was her design, they said
D G
"Was it the mending of the gown
A G
or the running and the running and the running it around?"
D G
She said: "My name and my spirit are both corrupted
A G
If you hold me close you gotta hold me up!
D G A
It was the tender meaning of this slender gown

G D
That brought me bending to the ground
G A G
Now you'll wear any old thing, oh you'll wear any old thing"
D G
So she wrapped herself in swaddling
A G
That the fever deviated to a broken wing
D G
"It's an act, I think she's just pretending"
A G
"It's an act, I think she's just pretending"
D G
And I will burn the virgin flags
A G D
And I will shake (shake) as the heat waves in the sand
G A
This one's for Maggie (This one's for Maggie)
G D
This one's for Sam (This one's for Sam)
G A
This one's for Maggie (This one's for Maggie)
G D
This one's for Sam (This one's for Sam)
G A G
Or any other random spirit lover busted
D G A G
I have lusted after you
D G
The way bloodsuckers do
A G
The way bloodsuckers do
A E F F# G
The way bloodsuckers do
D
Was it the mending of the gown,

A
Or the running it around?
F#m
Was it the mending of the gown,

A
Or the running it around?

It was the tender mending of this slender gown
D G Bm Bbaug
That brought me bending to the ground
Bm D G
But this ship was built to go down
A D A G
See the paddle go up and the paddle go down
A D A G
See the paddle go up and the paddle go down
A D A G
See the paddle go up and the paddle go down
A D A G
See the paddle go up and the paddle go down

Oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh (x16)
