Idiot Prayer
Capo: 1. th Fret

E minorEm         D MajorD
They're taking me down my friend
E minorEm           D MajorD
and as they usher me off to my end
          A augmentedA   G+G
will I bid you adieu?
          A augmentedA   G+G
Or be seeing you soon?
              E minorEm
If what they say round here is true
      D MajorD
then we'll meet again
A augmentedA
me and you.

E minorEm        D MajorD
My time is at hand, my dove
E minorEm             D MajorD
They're gunna pass me to that house above
          A augmentedA        G+G
Is Heaven just for victims, dear?
         A augmentedA      G+G
Where only those in pain go?
           E minorEm
Well it takes two to tango
       D MajorD
We will meet again, my love
A augmentedA
I know

E minorEm                D MajorD
If you're in Heaven then you'll forgive me, dear
E minorEm            D MajorD
Because that's what they do up there
             A augmentedA        G+G
If you're in Hell, then what can I say
            A augmentedA       G+G
You probably deserved in anyway
             E minorEm
I guess I'm gunna find out any day
      D MajorD
For we'll meet again
  A augmentedA
And there'll be Hell to pay

E minorEm          D MajorD
Your face comes to me from the depths, dear
E minorEm            D MajorD
Your silent mouth mouths, 'Yes", dear
         A augmentedA        G+G
Dark red and big with blood
            A augmentedA         G+G
They're gunna shut me down, my love
            E minorEm
They're gunna launch me into the stars
        D MajorD
Well, all things come to pass
 A augmentedA
Glory hallelujah

E minorEm          D MajorD
This prayer is for you, my love
E minorEm          D MajorD
Sent on the wings of a dove
          A augmentedA       G+G
An idiot prayer of empty words
           A augmentedA         G+G
Love, dear, is strictly for the birds
          E minorEm
We each get what we deserve
      D MajorD
My little snow white dove
 A augmentedA
