(Verse)
Em          Am       Em           G         D        Am
Your mother made you cry when she told you about the womb
 
D       B      Em
And how people die.
 
Em                 Am            Em    G         D
Watching over you when you were young smiling as you learned
 
Am         D         B           Em
to crawl.  You don?t know her at all.
 
 
(Chorus)
Em     G     G               B    Em
It?s a dirty job but they?re very suave
 
      G       G             B     Em
Jesus high on wine drinking turpentine
 
 
(Verse)
Em                    Am   Em      G        D        Am
Daddy?s voice like an intercom connected to a hidden room
 
D           B     Em
Were yellow roses bloom
 
Em                   Am     Em           G
A sacred mountain near Peterborough where clouds paint a
 
D          Am             B         Em
picture so calm that they swallowed mom.
 
 
(Chorus)
Em     G     G               B    Em
It?s a dirty job but they?re very suave
 
      G       G            B     Am
Jesus high on wine weeping turpentine
 
Am                           Em
What are they doing in there?  Have they got guns?
 
 
         G          G        Am
Make you run up and down the same hill
 
B                      Em
And they?ll break your will.

(Verse)
Em               Am           Em            G
Was it Christmas or groundhog day when your friends turned
 
   D   Am  D        B            Em
to shadows and they dragged you away.
 
Em               Am          Em   G              D
Tell nobody that you?ve been here don?t breath a word that?s
 
     Am                  D                   B       Em
been said. Now there?s a scar(whispered)upon your forehead.
 
 
(Chorus)
Em     G     G               B    Em
It?s a dirty job but they?re very suave
 
      G       G            B     Am
Jesus high on wine weeping turpentine
 
Am                           Em
What are they doing in there?  Have they got guns?
 
Am                  Em                      B
Whether Mt. Pinutubo or the threat of God?s love
 
         G         G                Am
There?ll always be something that?s raining
 
B         Em
