The Brothel Chords

Standard tuning, capo on first to play along the song
whole song except the last verse
 
intro: Am - F 2x
 Am      F
Purple pavement
 Am                       F
Crookfingers knocking on windows without souls
 Am          C           Em           Am
Bodies are swinging from rooftops and poles
 Am               F
Howling through hollows
 Am                 F
Restless nights and one night cheap hotels
Am           C          Em           Am
Oh, I’m only drifting to always come back
 
Small interlude before next verse
 
Am - F - Am - G
 
 
Am               F
And I search for something
Am           F                 Am
Oh, whatever I don’t really care
Am                  C          Em              Am
Driving with their lights off they can be anywhere
Am                   F
Rolling down their windows
Am             F          Am
Open card with open mouths
Am     C          Em     Am
Golden teeth and golden cars
 
 
 
Am                     Am                       Am            F
You cover your eyes, you cover your mouth,   you cover  your ears
F                    Em
Still you follow my trail
Am              Am                    F
I’ll do it all, I’ll do whatever you say,
F                    G
God has left me anyway
 
interlude:
Am - F - Am - Em
Am - F - Am - G
 
 
Am               F
Love I laid in payment
 Am                    F
Stars with stains and heaven and afterglow
Am                    C     Em      Am
Beneath the ashes of echoes buried alive
 Am                         F
They are howling through hollows
 Am                  F
Once we share their temple of our arms
Am       C        Em          Am
Now our heads are hung up on walls
 
 
 
Am                    F
We are ruins within ruins
Am                 F        Am              C     Em   Am
On every corner a gladiator is begging for another century
Am           F                  Am          F
When no one cut your tongue to know nothing and to know it all
Am              C Em      Am
To be both the animal and god
 
 
 
Am                     Am                       Am           F
You cover your eyes, you cover your mouth, you call me your ears
F                    Em
Still you follow my trail
Am              Am                    F
I’ll do it all, I’ll do whatever you say,
F                 Em
God has left me anyway
Am                     Am                       Am         F
You cover your eyes, you cover your mouth, you cover your ears
F                    Em
Still you follow my trail
Am              Am                    F
I’ll do it all, I’ll do whatever you say,
F                  G
God has left us anyway
