(Verse)
Am          Dm       Am           F         G        Dm
Your mother made you cry when she told you about the womb
 
G       E      Am
And how people die.
 
Am                 Dm            Am    F         G
Watching over you when you were young smiling as you learned
 
Dm         G         E           Am
to crawl.  You don?t know her at all.
 
 
(Chorus)
Am     F     C               E    Am
It?s a dirty job but they?re very suave
 
      F       C             E     Am
Jesus high on wine drinking turpentine
 
 
(Verse)
Am                    Dm   Am      F        G        Dm
Daddy?s voice like an intercom connected to a hidden room
 
G           E     Am
Were yellow roses bloom
 
Am                   Dm     Am           F
A sacred mountain near Peterborough where clouds paint a
 
G          Dm             E         Am
picture so calm that they swallowed mom.
 
 
(Chorus)
Am     F     C               E    Am
It?s a dirty job but they?re very suave
 
      F       C            E     Dm
Jesus high on wine weeping turpentine
 
Dm                           Am
What are they doing in there?  Have they got guns?
 
 
         F          C        Dm
Make you run up and down the same hill
 
E                      Am
And they?ll break your will.
 
 
(Guitar solo)-repeat verse section 2x
 
 
(Verse)
Am               Dm           Am            F
Was it Christmas or groundhog day when your friends turned
 
   G   Dm  G        E            Am
to shadows and they dragged you away.
 
Am               Dm          Am   F              G
Tell nobody that you?ve been here don?t breath a word that?s
 
     Dm                  G                   E       Am
been said. Now there?s a scar(whispered)upon your forehead.
 
 
(Chorus)
Am     F     C               E    Am
It?s a dirty job but they?re very suave
 
      F       C            E     Dm
Jesus high on wine weeping turpentine
 
Dm                           Am
What are they doing in there?  Have they got guns?
 
Dm                  Am                      E
Whether Mt. Pinutubo or the threat of God?s love
 
         F         C                Dm
There?ll always be something that?s raining
 
E         Am
