Brendan Kelly And The Wandering Birds


Tom: E

E
What's a pretty little thing like you
B                   A
Doin' in this dingy old back room?
E
I got some candy

A piece for every bruise
B                          A
Grab it if it's handy, any cock'll do
    E
Now dance to the beat of the slow, slow turn
       B                         A
Of the world as it weeps in this slow, slow burn
        E
And the shoes on your feet ain't set to return
B                             A
I'm the one who's walking out alone
B                                      A
You won't need no sandals where you're going
      A         B          C#m
Cause baby, you ain't ever goin' home

[Chorus]
        E                       B
And the last sounds that you'll ever know
        A                B               E    B
Are the vultures crying "Whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa-no"
A                               B
Soon they'll be picking at your bones
                           E     B
They'll be picking at your bones
                           E     A
They'll be picking at your bones
     B         E
Whoa-whoa-whoa

[Verse 2]
  E
I caught you in the bathroom in a real wide stance
             B                          A
I caught you down by the lagoon with my hands down your pants
      E
On an old dirty mattress with stains and yellow scarves
  B                        A
I start out watching but I get so hard
        B                                     A
And you won't need this mattress where you're going
    B                             A
And I'm the one who's walking out alone
    A                B          C#m
And buddy, you ain't ever going home

[Chorus]
E                                B
Cause the last sound that you'll ever know
      A                 B               E    B
Is my bonesaw grinding "Whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa-no"
A                              B
Soon we'll be chipping at your bones
                          E     B
We'll be chipping at your bones
                          E     A
We'll be chipping at your bones
     B
Whoa-whoa-whoa

[Interlude]
E  C#m  A  B

[Bridge]
C#m          A                    B                 E
Every single plan I make has been informed by these sour grapes
         C#m               A                    E  B
I've got one last death to fake before I settle down
       C#m          B            A
On the last burning block of the last burning town
          C#m       B             A
Where the devil and behemoth have been hanging around
    C#m     B         A
And I don't miss that old crowd
C#m      B             A
I do not miss that old crowd
C#m          B        A    E
So goddamned lazy and loud

[Chorus]
          E                    B               A
Cause the last sound that I'll ever know is my heart exploding
 B               E    B
"Whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa-no"
A                              B
Soon I'll be nothing but these bones
                          E     B
I'll be nothing but these bones
                          E     A
I'll be nothing but these bones
                  B                  C#m
I don't need this bullshit where I'm going
    A                 B          C#m
And I don't think I'm ever going home
    A                 B           E  D# C#m  B  A   B    E
And I'm the one who's walking out alone
   E                               E  B  E
So bitch, quit your fucking crying
