WE ARE THE DEAD from Diamond Dogs

INTRO: G minorGm Bb majorBb FF
    G minorGm Bb majorBb FF

G minorGm        Bb majorBb    FF
Something kind of hit me today, I looked at you and
DmDm       D MajorD       Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
Wondered if you saw things my way
FF      D MajorD     G minorGm
People will hold us to blame
  Gm7Gm7   Eb MajorEb   C majorC    FF
It hit me today, it hit me today
   G minorGm    Bb majorBb      FF
We're taking it hard all the time
           DmDm    D MajorD      Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb
Why don't we pass it by, just reply you've changed your mind
   FF         D MajorD      G minorGm
We're fighting with the eyes of the blind
Gm7Gm7    Eb MajorEb  C majorC     FF     Eb MajorEb DmDm Bb majorBb
Taking it hard, taking it hard, yet now
  AbAb        F#F#   FF          C majorC
We feel that we are paper, choking on you nightly
   Bb majorBb       AbAb      F#F#        FF
They tell me son, we want you, be elusive, but don't walk far
     C majorC        Bb majorBb    AbAb          F#F#
For we're breaking in the new boys, deceive your next of kin
      FF         C majorC      Bb majorBb     AbAb
For you're dancing where the dogs decay, defecating ecstasy
        F#F#     FF
You're just an ally of the leecher
 C majorC       Bb majorBb         AbAb        F#F#
Locator for the virgin King, but I love you in your fuck me pumps
     FF         C majorC
And your nimble dress that trails
  Bb majorBb         AbAb        F#F#        FF
Oh, dress yourself, my urchin one, for I hear them on the rails
      C majorC       Bb majorBb      AbAb
Because of all we've seen, because of all we've said
F#F#     D MajorD C majorC D MajorD C majorC
We are the dead

G minorGm        Bb majorBb      FF
One thing kind of touched me today
          DmDm       D MajorD      Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
I looked at you and counted all the times we had laid
FF      D MajorD        G minorGm
Pressing our love through the night
Gm7Gm7     Eb MajorEb   C majorC      FF
Knowing it's right, knowing it's right
G minorGm       Bb majorBb      FF
Now I'm hoping some one will care
       DmDm     D MajorD     Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb
Living on the breath of a hope to be shared
FF        D MajorD      G minorGm
Trusting on the sons of our love
   Gm7Gm7     Eb MajorEb  C majorC      FF     Eb MajorEb DmDm Bb majorBb
That someone will care, someone will care, but now

AbAb       F#F#     FF              C majorC
We're today's scrambled creatures, locked in tomorrow's double feature
Bb majorBb       AbAb     F#F#        FF
Heaven's on the pillow, its silence competes with hell
    C majorC        Bb majorBb       AbAb        F#F#
It's a twenty four hour service, guaranteed to make you tell
    FF          C majorC
And the streets are full of press men
    Bb majorBb        AbAb
Bent on getting hung and buried
    F#F#    FF      C majorC        Bb majorBb
And the 🏷Legendary curtains are drawn round Baby Bankrupt
  AbAb           F#F#
Who sucks you while you're sleeping
     FF      C majorC
It's the theater of financiers
      Bb majorBb      AbAb
Count them, fifty round a table
F#F#          FF
White and dressed to kill
   C majorC         Bb majorBb
Oh caress yourself, my juicy
    AbAb         F#F#
For my hands have all but withered
  FF         C majorC         Bb majorBb        AbAb
Oh dress yourself my urchin one, for I hear them on the stairs
      F#F#      FF
Because of all we've seen
C majorC     Bb majorBb
Because of all we've said
D MajorD     C majorC  D MajorD
We are the dead
C majorC     D MajorD  C majorC D MajorD
We are the dead
C majorC     D MajorD  C majorC D MajorD C majorC
We are the dead
