If Venice is Sinking
By: Spirit of the West

Verse 1:

C majorC
Jesus hangs behind the glass
FF
Above venetian doors
G+G               A minorAm          G+G   C majorC
His window box boasts crimson flowers fresh cut the day before

C majorC
And you couldn’t find a smile
FF
If you nailed it to his face
G+G        A minorAm         G+G
But Jesus Christ hangs his head with grace

Chorus:
    FF
And if Venice is sinking
G+G
I’m going under
FF
’Cause beauty’s religion
    A minorAm         G+G   C majorC - FF - G+G - A minorAm - G+G - C majorC
And its Christened me with wonder


Verse 2:

They come in bent-backed
Creeping ’cross the floor all dressed in black
Candles, thick as pillars, you can buy one off the floor

And the ceiling’s painted gold
Mary’s hair is red
The old come here to kiss their dead

(chorus)

Bridge:

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


Verse 3:

We made love on a bed
That sagged down to the floor
In a room that had a postcard on the door

Of Mirini’s (sp?) Little Man
With an erection on a horse
It always leaves me laughing, leaves me feeling that, of course if

(Chorus)

Yesterday, I submitted the chords for ¨If Venice is Sinking¨ by
Spirit of the West. I noticed, after sending it out, that the
chords in the chorus are wrong. The chorus should be:

    FF
And if Venice is sinking
C majorC     G+G
I’m going under
FF
’Cause beauty’s religion
     C majorC         G+G    (C majorC - FF - G+G - A minorAm - G+G)
And it’s Christened me with wonder
