Seduction of the innocent
Simmons, Van Zen

[Intro: Rhy. fig 1a]

[Rhy. fig 1a & 1c]
He always wears his bible belt
The collar under his head
It’s like a noose around his neck

His sandaled feet don’t touch the ground
Ears don’t hear a sound
Seduction Of The Innocent

[Rhy. fig 1c]
[Rhy. fig 2a & 2b]
Everybody thinks there’s always a reason
Need a reason to cry
You kiss the hand of the man for all seasons
And don’t know why

[Rhy. fig 3a & 3b with Riff 1 on last bar]
Say it friend, if you had to do it all over again
Would you know the trickery that he’s prayin?

[Rhy. fig 1a & 1c]
The padre looks well fed
Remember what the good book said
Vultures circle overhead

Whatever gets you through the night
Friends sing to clear your mind
Seduction Of The Innocent

[Rhy. fig 1c]
[Rhy. fig 2a & 2b]
Everybody thinks there’s always a reason
Need a reason to cry
You kiss the hand of a man for all seasons
And don’t know why

[Rhy. fig 3a & 3b]
Say it friend, if you had to do it all over again
Would you know the trickery that he’s prayin’?

[Solo 1 over Rhy. fig 1a]
[Solo 2 over Rhy. fig 4a & 4b]

[Rhy. fig 2a & 2b]
Everybody thinks there’s always a reason
Need a reason to cry
You kiss the hand of the man for all seasons
And don’t know why

[Rhy. fig 3a & 3b]
Say it friend, if you had to do it all over again
Would you know the trickery that he’s prayin’?
