Verse 1:
C# minorC#m    BB        A augmentedA
Make mine old time or I'll spit in your eye
   F# minorF#m        E MajorE
It's better than lying, anytime
C# minorC#m       BB
I'm horrified to step outside
A augmentedA        F# minorF#m      E MajorE
Trying very hard to keep up my guard
C# minorC#m      BB
Everything's becoming Drag
   A augmentedA       F# minorF#m           E MajorE
We'd best get off, escape the bad, could be very sad
C# minorC#m      BB
Misery coming over me
  A augmentedA          F# minorF#m           E MajorE
I'm thinking about going blind and don't want to see

Verse 2:
C# minorC#m        BB
Shift around this one song town
    A augmentedA           F# minorF#m      E MajorE
Like a sparrow with a broken wing, feeling blue
C# minorC#m     BB
Terrified to step outside
A augmentedA        F# minorF#m         E MajorE
It's so easy to make a suicide come true
C# minorC#m      BB
Masturbation, getting off
A augmentedA          F# minorF#m     E MajorE
You can scoff, your ideals offer nothing new
C# minorC#m         BB
I'm getting ready to run and hide
A augmentedA           F# minorF#m      E MajorE
Looking for a suitable bitch to crucify


Chorus:
E MajorE           F# minorF#m   G# minorG#m
We're all beginning to testify, testify
   A augmentedA    BB
It's getting fierce

We're all beginning to testify, testify
  A augmentedA   BB
To be Cavaliers

C# minorC#m       BB
Love to have God next to me
     A augmentedA        F# minorF#m      E MajorE
With his hands around my throat in harmony
C# minorC#m      BB
Take away the silver tray
     A augmentedA          F# minorF#m       E MajorE
Fetch me water, God, give me strength, I'm in pain
    C# minorC#m        BB
Seeing, blow-job blues and boogaloos and
A augmentedA         F# minorF#m          E MajorE
Ten little niggers hooked on absinthe and daffodils
C# minorC#m       BB
Telling tales of white gardenia
A augmentedA       F# minorF#m         E MajorE
Honky-tonking all the love that's in you

To Cavaliers

C# minorC#m         BB
Long-tailed coat, a silly joke
   A augmentedA          F# minorF#m        E MajorE
They drink like men then see them choke on Coca-Cola
C# minorC#m         BB
Morgue-like lips and waitress tips
    A augmentedA         F# minorF#m     E MajorE
And you shuffle around on your Sabrina hips
C# minorC#m      BB        A augmentedA
Oh, make mine old time or I'll spit in your eye
   F# minorF#m        E MajorE
It's better than lying, anytime
C# minorC#m       BB
I'm horrified to step outside
A augmentedA      F# minorF#m        E MajorE
Trying very hard to keep up my guard
