The Cat Empire

All Hell

The Cat Empire


Tom: Am

Em   Am   B7   Em   B7 (2x)

[Verse]
Em                   Am
All hell's crashing down inside
                   B7
The windows to the other side
               Em             B7
Shimmering in rooms to quiet sighs of

Em                Am
'Oh well if it's happening there
                     B7
It isn't here', and god appears to deal
             Em                B7
A different hand to different tiers

[Pre Chorus]
Dm         G          C            
But this play is not over yet
      C/B          Am             C7/G
Can hear the music of those marionettes
            F    (/E   /D   /C)
of beating drums down the quiet streets
   B7   (/A   /G   /F#)
Of ignorance and vain regrets

[Chorus/Solo]
Em   Am   B7   Em   B7

[Verse]
Em                          Am
And all these fears swiftly come to pass
                B7
Presently she feels we're past
                 Em         B7
Cups of tea and optimistic prayers

    Em                Am
Cos out there's our unholy mess
               B7
Gathering its long white dress
                      Em              B7
And marching down the aisle to marry this

[Pre Chorus]
Dm    G      C           
Matrimonial future bliss
 C/B               Am              C7/G
Kiss the tide and hope it doesn't lift up your
F    (/E   /D   /C) 
Carpet woven 
B7   (/A   /G   /F#)
from apathy and token frets

[Chorus/Solo]
Em   Am   B7   Em   B7 (2x)
All Hell!

[Pre Chorus]
Dm         G          C            
But this play is not over yet
      C/B          Am             C7/G
Can hear the music of those marionettes
            F    (/E   /D   /C)
of beating drums down the quiet streets
   E7   (/D   /C   /B)
Of ignorance and vain regrets
