Bm



♫ Verse 1:
Bm                                A
Six-by-nine and counting down, in one after the other
           Em                            G
They'll go running up and down the road, angry as their mothers
     Bm                               A
Over senseless acts of selfishness on made up English oceans
    Em                               G
And made up English stomach contents tied to senseless notions

♫ Interlude:

♫ Verse 2:
Bm                                          A
See, once you grab them by the pride, their hearts are bound to follow
      Em                            G
Their natural fear of anything less manly or less natural
     Bm                                   A
Then gun-less sheriffs caught on lonesome roads and live to tell it
    Em                            G                       Bm
How hard it is for meaner men without the lead to sell it

♫ Verse 3:
Bm                                A
Cause only simple men can see the logic in whatever
        Em                                G
Smarter men can whittle down till you can fit it on a sticker
       Bm                         A
Get it stuck like mud and bugs to names that set the standard
        Em                                     G                           Bm
They'll live it like it's gospel, and they'll quote it like it's scripture

♫ Verse 4:
Bm                                A
Six-by-nine and counting down, in one after the other
           Em                            G
They'll go running up and down the road, angry as their mothers
     Bm                               A
Over senseless acts of selfishness on made up English oceans
    Em                               G                         Bm
And made up English stomach contents tied to senseless notions

♫ Verse 5:
Bm                                          A
It's no matter if they dress real nice, and sit up straight and stupid
    Em                                 G
And say their prayers in quiet ancient tongues
           Bm                                               A
They're no different than the ones who close their eyes and fall down to the ground
    Em                                       G    Bm
And twitch like all their nerves have come undone

♫ Verse 6:
Bm                                A
So be it if they come to find out feeling good's as easy
   Em                                   G
As denying that there's day or night at all
Bm                                          A
Till what it takes to feel a thing seems so far out of reach
          Em                                         G
They just claw their skin, and grind their teeth and bawl
