Abattoir Blues

	  		F                                           G 
The sun is high up in the sky and I’m in my car 
F                  G 
Drifting down into the abattoir 
Am 
Do you see what I see, dear? 
F                    G 
The air grows heavy. I listen to your breath 
F                         G 
Entwined together in this culture of death 
Am 
Do you see what I see, dear? 
F                   G 
Slide on over here, let me give you a squeeze 
F                                 G 
To avert this unholy evolutionary trajectory 
Am 
Can you hear what I hear, babe? 
F                     Am       F 
Does it make you feel afraid? 

( Dm ) 
Everything’s dissolving, babe, according to plan 
The sky is on fire, the dead are heaped across the land 
I went to bed last night and my moral code got jammed 
I woke up this morning with a Frappucino in my hand 

F                    G 
I kissed you once. I kissed you again 
F                            G 
My heart it tumbled like the stock exchange 
Am 
Do you feel what I feel, dear? 
F                         G 
Mass extinction, darling, hypocrisy 
F                    G 
These things are not good for me 
Am                     F 
Do you see what I see, dear? 
                                G 
The line the God throws down to you and me 
F                     G 
Makes a pleasing geometry 
Am                             F 
Shall we leave this place now, dear? 
Am                      F 
Is there someway out of here? 

( Dm ) 
I wake with the sparrows and I hurry off to work 
The need for validation, babe, gone completely berserk 
I wanted to be your Superman but I turned out such a jerk 

Am                     F 
I got the abattoir blues 
Am                     F 
I got the abattoir blues 
Am                     F 
I got the abattoir blues 
                     F 
Right down to my shoes 
F        G 
abattoir blues... 
F        G 
abattoir blues...
