Tuning: E A D G B E
Dm and Am are the simplest and easiest chords to play for this song that work. However playing Dm and Am
as bar chords on the fifth fret sounds best. Use A+sus4 (Dm) and E+sus4 (Am) for the closest sound to
the original.
[VERSE]
DmJust like an elephant memory, heAm comes and never fades
sheDm turned his stomach upside down as she Amplayed the queen of spades
TheyDm pistol-whipped an outcome tossed a Amcoin and called a draw
Threw Dma blanket on a flight of stairs andAm fasted up his jaw
[CHORUS]
We bang to Dmbreak the drum
We rub the Amshine, we shine the light
We light theDm fuse, the fuse the powder
Cause the Ampowder makes it right
We bang to Dmbreak the shed
We shed the Amskin, we skin the bear
We bear the Dmfall, we fall the towers
Cause the tAmowers brings me there
[VERSE]
DmThe petals fall forever on AmPicadilly Lane
And the Dmchildren take their medicine as they Amstand to watch the rain
TheDm wagon wheels are made of cheese, theAm moon is made from grass
And thDme wicker drinks the water where theAm preacher screams for mass
[CHORUS]
We bang to Dmbreak the drum
We rub the Amshine, we shine the light
We light theDm fuse, the fuse the powder
Cause the Ampowder makes it right
We bang to Dmbreak the shed
We shed the Amskin, we skin the bear
We bear the Dmfall, we fall the towers
Cause the tAmowers brings me there
[VERSE]
DmNothing about us is flawless as theAm sirens in her mind
He Dmbroke apart her diary to Amjudge and defile
The Dmcarnival was sleeping when the Amdoves had gotten free
The Dmtreasure of the secret love is Amswallowing the key
[CHORUS]
We bang to Dmbreak the drum
We rub the Amshine, we shine the light
We light theDm fuse, the fuse the powder
Cause the Ampowder makes it right
We bang to Dmbreak the shed
We shed the Amskin, we skin the bear
We bear the Dmfall, we fall the towers
Cause the tAmowers brings me there
[VERSE]
ThDme dead are all we have to set the Amworthiness of life
TheDm angels smoke about the bridges Amsharpening the knife
The Dmsedum was a sucker-punch from AmMichael to the Pope
The Dmanti-mute wear muzzles and a Amnecklace cut from rope
[CHORUS]
We bang to Dmbreak the drum
We rub the Amshine, we shine the light
We light theDm fuse, the fuse the powder
Cause the Ampowder makes it right
We bang to Dmbreak the shed
We shed the Amskin, we skin the bear
We bear the Dmfall, we fall the towers
Cause the tAmowers brings me there
[VERSE]
TheDm Amish are patrolling over Amunder angry stars
To Dmthe pilgrimage is set by men whAmo stroke guitars
The Dmmoon upon the caravan is Amdriving thunderheads
While thDme painter sings about his blues and Amchokes upon his red
[CHORUS]
We bang to Dmbreak the drum
We rub the Amshine, we shine the light
We light theDm fuse, the fuse the powder
Cause the Ampowder makes it right
We bang to Dmbreak the shed
We shed the Amskin, we skin the bear
We bear the Dmfall, we fall the towers
Cause the tAmowers brings me there
