Use 5th chords (power chords) for an easier way to play. Barre chords are the prefered way to play this
and also sound the best I think.

[Verse 1]

Bm               D        A                     Bm
Organ grinder’s henchmen shaking their coins in time-
Bm                  D            A                    Bm
“Guild of Mute Assassins will convene at a quarter to nine.”
           Bm                 D                 A                    Bm
Behind the court house atop a scaffold stands a man with a bag for a face
              Bm                     D       A                       Bm
“You will not have learned until I return to give my executioner the chase.”


[Chorus]

Bm                          D                           A
The swinging of its censers, the silence of its members
                           Bm
Oh, the Guild of Mute Assassins
                          D                        A
From the places in-between that are so seldom seen
                           Bm
Oh, the Guild of Mute Assassins


[Verse 2]

Bm                           D    A                       Bm
Widow in the furrow with thimbles hasn’t seen her face in years
Bm                          D       A                        Bm
Kneels into a puddled reflection to find it is just as she’s feared
Bm                    D      A               Bm
In the Garden the Archangel, sword above his head
              Bm               D            A                 Bm
“You will not return until you have learned what you’ve forfeited.”


[Chorus]

Bm                          D                           A
The swinging of its censers, the silence of its members
                           Bm
Oh, the Guild of Mute Assassins
                          D                        A
From the places in-between that are so seldom seen
                           Bm
Oh, the Guild of Mute Assassins


[Verse 3]

Bm                          D    A                     Bm
Baby on a threshold with silver. Breath rises from its lips
Bm                             D            A                 Bm
Beam of yellow light from a doorway and the figure of a silhouette
          Bm              D   A                        Bm
In the cradle a wood stiletto rattles like a barrel of bones
        Bm              D       A                    Bm
Another journeyman with passion silently recites the oath


[Chorus]

Bm                          D                           A
The swinging of its censers, the silence of its members
                           Bm
Oh, the Guild of Mute Assassins
                          D                        A
From the places in-between that are so seldom seen
                           Bm
Oh, the Guild of Mute Assassins
