Guild Of Mute Assassins chords by Clutch

Verse 1:

Bm        D    A           Bm
Organ grinder’s henchmen shaking their coins in time-
Bm         D      A          Bm
“Guild of Mute Assassins will convene at a quarter to nine.”
      Bm         D         A          Bm
Behind the court house atop a scaffold stands a man with a bag for a face
       Bm           D    A            Bm
“You will not have learned until I return to give my executioner the chase.”


Chorus:

Bm             D              A
The swinging of its censers, the silence of its members
              Bm
Oh, the Guild of Mute Assassins
             D            A
From the places in-between that are so seldom seen
              Bm
Oh, the Guild of Mute Assassins

Verse 2:

Bm              D  A            Bm
Widow in the furrow with thimbles hasn’t seen her face in years
Bm             D    A            Bm
Kneels into a puddled reflection to find it is just as she’s feared
Bm          D   A        Bm
In the Garden the Archangel, sword above his head
       Bm        D      A         Bm
“You will not return until you have learned what you’ve forfeited.”


Chorus:

Bm             D              A
The swinging of its censers, the silence of its members
              Bm
Oh, the Guild of Mute Assassins
             D            A
From the places in-between that are so seldom seen
              Bm
Oh, the Guild of Mute Assassins


Verse 3:

Bm             D  A           Bm
Baby on a threshold with silver. Breath rises from its lips
Bm               D      A         Bm
Beam of yellow light from a doorway and the figure of a silhouette
     Bm       D  A            Bm
In the cradle a wood stiletto rattles like a barrel of bones
    Bm       D    A          Bm
Another journeyman with passion silently recites the oath


Chorus:

Bm             D              A
The swinging of its censers, the silence of its members
              Bm
Oh, the Guild of Mute Assassins
             D            A
From the places in-between that are so seldom seen
              Bm
Oh, the Guild of Mute Assassins
