Intro:

Em C D Em x4



Verse 1:
Em                 C
Salted earth and indifferent skies
D                          Em
This was not the town that he left behind
Em
Killing for a piece of coal
C
Kneel, prey, take the dole
D                                   Em
Starve em out, and throw 'em in the snow
Em        C
And no
D                                Em
That's no way to watch your poor mother go
Em                             C
The landlord's dwelling sat on top of the hill
D                        Em
Sights set, went for the kill

Instrumental:
Em C D Em x2

Verse 2:
Em                      C
The gate swings and the guards hit the ground
D                           Em
Peddling prowess, there's a new kid in town
Em                   C
War scars worn proud loud like medals
D                     Em
Rage goin' off like a kettle
Em                      C
Judge, oh Judge can you help me out?
D                                Em
This isn't making sense, can you tell me how
Em                                      C
You're justified in sentencing starving men to death for stealing
D                                    Em
And didn't think you'd hang from the ceiling

Chorus:
C                  G
The judges and the masters
Am                   Em
Are hanging from the rafters
C                  G
The judges and the masters
Am                  Em
Are swinging in the cold
C                G
All the dead are laughing
Am                      Em
At all the church walls cracking
C              G
Judges and the masters
Am              Em
Sadistic sorry souls

Instrumental:
Em C D Em x2

Verse 3:
Em                C
I was a man of no grudges
D                                Em
I've always paid my debts when I could
Em                      C
So you can hang all the judges
D                             Em
Cus those scales never did me no good
Em                                 C
And as the ship sails off with the harvest now
D                        Em
A starving state under a wicked crown
Em                 C
A woeful conquest. One for the books
D                           Em
The blind being lead by the crooks

Chorus:
C                  G
The judges and the masters
Am                   Em
Are hanging from the rafters
C                  G
The judges and the masters
Am                  Em
Are swinging in the cold
C                G
All the dead are laughing
Am                      Em
At all the church walls cracking
C              G
Judges and the masters
Am              Em
Sadistic sorry souls
