Intro:
A minorAm C majorC FF

Verse 1:
 C majorC                       FF    A minorAm
Ladies and gents, fold your tents, 'cause we have a winner

 C majorC                    FF    A minorAm
Come see your Jane try to train every devil in her

     C majorC              FF      A minorAm
There's not a man alive who could tame this creature

      C majorC                   FF      A minorAm
You better leave the professor behind, see what time will teach her

   FF          G+G       C majorC    FF
And when we've all collected a spectacular sum

    FF       G+G          C majorC     FF
We'll get a little glimpse of the disaster to come


Chorus:
     A minorAm       G+G
You can justify what happens then

    C majorC          FF
'Cause how could you have known

      A minorAm            G+G
Leave the dust to dust and say "amen"

   C majorC        FF
Put "sorry" on the stone

    A minorAm            E minorEm
You're not not your brother's keeper, now

   C majorC         FF
Your brother's on his own

 A minorAm      C majorC     FF           A minorAm
  That's how the seeds of avarice are sown


Verse 2:
 C majorC                       FF    A minorAm
Shit's just a trick and each week's full of compromises

 C majorC                       FF     A minorAm
She'll push for a fish like a seal clapping for its prizes

     C majorC              FF      A minorAm
There's not a man alive who could wake this sleeper

       C majorC                        FF    A minorAm
Oh, tie the rope, hide the dope, sure there's hope, but denial's cheaper

   FF          G+G       C majorC    FF
And when we've all collected a spectacular sum

    FF       G+G          C majorC     FF
We'll get a little glimpse of the disaster to come


Chorus:
     A minorAm       G+G
You can justify what happens then

    C majorC          FF
'Cause how could you have known

      A minorAm            G+G
Leave the dust to dust and say "amen"

   C majorC        FF
Put "sorry" on the stone

    A minorAm            E minorEm
You're not not your brother's keeper, now

   C majorC         FF
Your brother's on his own

 A minorAm      C majorC     FF           A minorAm
  That's how the seeds of avarice are sown


Bridge:
(1 single strum per chord)

   E minorEm         E minorEm      A minorAm      A minorAm     FF   C majorC
And after the fail, you can wail as they drag the river

 E minorEm               A minorAm           FF   C majorC
Silence the band, wring the hand that you didn't give her

   FF                C majorC
And every man alive has to sign a waiver

 FF     C majorC                     FF     A minorAm
To put a coin in the plate, so that fate won't return the favor


Final Chorus:
(Back to normal strumming pattern)

     A minorAm       G+G
You can justify, oh yes you can

    C majorC       FF
You've got the microphone

      A minorAm         G+G
Tell them dust is dust and men are men

   C majorC       FF
And men all act alone

    A minorAm          E minorEm
You're not your brother's keeper, now

   C majorC         FF
Your brother's on his own

 A minorAm      C majorC     FF           A minorAm
  That's how the seeds of avarice are sown

 C majorC     FF
How the seeds of avarice are sown
