[Verse 3]
GListen to the whores he tells heCr G
GHe fashions paper sculptures of themC
Then dGrags them to the river's banAk in the cart
Their sGoggy paper bodies wash aAshore in the dark
And the Gpriest stiff in hate now demAanding fun begin
Of his wBmomen dressed as men for the plAeasure of that priest
[Chorus]
EHere I am
Not quite dyiDng
EMy body left to rot in a hollow Dtree
Its Ebranches throwing shadows
On the gallows for Dme
EAnd the next day
And the next
And anoDther daEy
[Interlude]
E, G E, G
[Verse 4]
IgnEoring the pain of their particular diseaseAs E
EThey chase him through the alleys chase him down the stepsA E
EThey haul him through the mud and they chant for his deathA E
EAnd drag him to the feet of the purple headed priestA
[Verse 5]
GFirst they give you everything that you want C G
GThen they take back everything that you have C
GThey live upon their feet and they dAie upon their knees
GThey can work with satan while they Adress like the saints
GThey know God exists for the dAevil told them so
They scBmream my name aloud dAown into the well below
[Chorus]
EHere I am
Not quite dyiDng
EMy body left to rot in a hollow Dtree
Its Ebranches throwing shadows
On the gallows for Dme
EAnd the next day
And the next
And anoDther daEy
[Interlude]
