E C#m The priest wears a black eye patch E C#m And fake pride of perfume E On his walking cane A B Is a holy roman ring A He wants to blindfold you F#m E C#m All alone in his bedroom B In the land of the blind A The one eyed man is king E C#m Joseanna closes her eyes E C#m As the heat is urging E She tapes them shut A B So she can’t see anything A She don’t know it yet F#m E C#m But she’s no longer a virgin B Here in the land of the blind A E C#m The one eyed snake is king E C#m Yeah a cyclops in the white house E C#m Understands it E A Keeps everyone snowblind B From the great west wing A F#m Yeah he knows the rules don’t apply E C#m Here in the snake pit B It’s the land of the blind A E The one eyed man is king A Oh every night you pray E Or is it wishing D#m You’re in no position F#m A B To ask for anything E Yeah he sentenced me C#m E C#m To eternity in exile E A Then drew the battlelines B With david’s sling A F#m Gave every cyclist clown E C#m A nuclear missile B In the land of the blind A E The one eyed man is king A Are you looking for someone E To lead you through this D#m I’m standing here let’s do this F#m A B Throw my hat into the rain E C#m Yeah meet me at your momma’s E C#m By the parkway E And I’ll free your soul A B From every apron string A F#m In the execution hood E C#m You are all saint’s day B We’ll join the land of the blind A E C#m Were the one eyed man is king B We’ll join the land of the blind A E C#m Were the one eyed man is king B Here in the land of the blind A E A E The one eyed man is king
