INTRO: G
And the pretty jackals [C]smell the [G]blood
Revel in the fire and [D]flood
[G]Drag us face down [C]through the [G]mud
[D]Tragedy as [G]show
Grin the words that [C]might be [G]true
Grim the unrelenting [D]view
[G]Balance gone and the [C]world a[G]skew
[D]Staggered by the [G]blows
CHORUS:
And he [D]loved the poor and he [C]healed the [G]lame
And they [D]crucified him [C]all the [G]same
[D]Washed their hands of [C]all the [G]blame
And got [C]set to [G]cast a [D]stone
A [G]bright and sharp de[C]live[G]ry
A smile through all the [D]misery
[G]News as black as [C]black can [G]be
In [D]short repeated [G]shocks
INSTRUMENTAL: G C G D G C G D G (2x)

And got [C]set to [G]cast a [D]stone
The [G]TV in the [C]hotel [G]room
Blue light in the borrowed [D]gloom
[G]Entertained en[C]sconced en[G]tombed
With a [D]pretty face that [G]talks
And the pretty jackals [C]smell the [G]blood
Revel in the fire and [D]flood
[G]Drag us face down [C]through the [G]mud
[D]Tragedy as [G]show
