If you see that something is wrong, feel free to correct me. I'd love to see some
alternate versions of this song.
Listen to the song for the strumming. I tabbed this from the Andrew Jackson Jihad
version, so there might be some
minor differences compared to the Ghost Mice version. Love both bands, and the song.
D A G
The best years of his life is what he gave to you
D A G
Never late a day he's been faithful and true
D A G
putting out the tombstones and digging down the graves
D A G Em
for over thirty years now and I can't believe you have the nerve to say
G D
That now you're gonna have to cut his pay
A G D
'cause one of your priests did such an awful thing
D A G
Lightning bolt oh lightning bolt why don't you strike them down
D A G
for what they did they deserve to be a black spot on the ground
D A G
And if there is a god living up there in the clouds
D A G Em
I can't imagine a better time to show his wrath than now
G D
Somehow these monsters all seem higher than the law
A G D
They won't see any punishment at all
D A G
He didn't give a damn about your god or your church
D A G
He was just an honest man looking for some honest work
D A G
And in his little finger he's got more purity
D A G Em
than a whole church load full of your child molesting priests
G D
It seems that you're making him pay for the guilty sins
A G D
Thirty years and that's the thanks he gets
D A G
Well it's hard to imagine there could be a greater sin
D A G
than using your trust for abusing a kid
D A G
As hard as it may seem, well I think that there is
D A G Em
and you're committing it by protecting these old evil men
G D
And if there really is a judgement day
A G D
you're gonna have a whole lot to explain
