Chords with lyrics

[Intro]

FF G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm x 2


[Verse 1]

C majorC   G+G    A minorAm   FF    G+G    A minorAm
I was down in Georgia nothing was as real
    C majorC   G+G     A minorAm  FF     G+G  A minorAm
As the street beneath my feet descending into air

C majorC  G+G  A minorAm  FF  G+G  A minorAm


[Verse 2]

C majorC      G+G   A minorAm      FF   G+G  A minorAm
The cauldron was a bubbling, the flesh was lean
    C majorC   G+G   A minorAm     FF    G+G  A minorAm
And the women moved forward like piranhas in a stream
   C majorC      G+G    A minorAm    FF    G+G A minorAm
They spread themselves before me an offering so sweet
     C majorC      G+G  A minorAm    FF    G+G    A minorAm
And they beckoned and they beckoned come on darling eat

[Chorus]

 FF    G+G   A minorAm    C majorC  G+G  A minorAm
Eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat
  FF    G+G    A minorAm    C majorC  G+G  A minorAm
You eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat


[Verse 3]

   C majorC    G+G   A minorAm  FF   G+G  A minorAm
They circled around me natives in a ring
   C majorC     G+G    A minorAm       FF   G+G A minorAm
And I saw their souls a-withering like snakes in chains
     C majorC    G+G     A minorAm     FF  G+G A minorAm
And they wrapped themselves around me, what a treat
     C majorC       G+G   A minorAm    FF    G+G  A minorAm
And they rattled their tales hissing’ come on let’s eat


[Chorus]

FF    G+G    A minorAm    C majorC  G+G  A minorAm
Eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat
  FF    G+G    A minorAm    C majorC  G+G  A minorAm
You eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat

[Instrumental]

 FF G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm  x 4


[Verse 4]

  C majorC   G+G      A minorAm     FF    G+G   A minorAm
I felt a rising in my throat the girls a-saying grace
    C majorC    G+G    A minorAm  FF    G+G     A minorAm
And the air, the viscous air pressed against my face
    C majorC    G+G    A minorAm     FF    G+G    A minorAm
And it all got too damn much for me just got too damn rough
   C majorC    G+G   A minorAm       FF     G+G  A minorAm
And I pushed away my plate and said boys I've had enough
   C majorC   G+G    A minorAm    FF  G+G    A minorAm
And I laid upon the table another piece of meat
   C majorC   G+G   A minorAm           FF  G+G A minorAm
And I opened up my veins to them and said come on eat


[Chorus]

FF    G+G    A minorAm    C majorC  G+G  A minorAm
Eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat
  FF    G+G    A minorAm    C majorC  G+G  A minorAm
You eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat
  FF    G+G   A minorAm     C majorC  G+G  A minorAm
You eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat
  FF    G+G    A minorAm    C majorC  G+G  A minorAm
You eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat


[Outro]

    FF   G+G    A minorAm   C majorC    G+G   A minorAm
‘Cause I was down in Georgia nothing was as real
    FF   G+G    A minorAm   C majorC   G+G    A minorAm
As the street beneath my feet descending into hell
  FF  G+G  A minorAm
So eat eat eat
  FF  G+G  A minorAm
You eat eat eat
  FF  G+G  A minorAm
You eat eat eat
FF  G+G  A minorAm
Eat eat eat
