Soothsayer Speaks

Bm F#m A                      Bm
Soothsayer leans up against a 
 F#m A
wall outside the Temple doors
Bm F#m A                        
He's got deep blue eyes and a 
        Bm F#m A
grin from horn to horn
Bm F#m A              Bm F#m 
         Greasy hair, salesman 
A
smile, burnt orange suit
Bm F#m A                         
White patent-leather shoes circa

Well, he looks over his shoulder at 
A
the desperate ones
           Bm F#m A              
And he, he badgers them before 
                  Bm F#m A
they reach the door
            Bm F#m A             
Well, he says, say there sucker, 
                Bm F#m A
could something so big, so good
      Bm F#m A                   
Be as easy as just opening the 
   A
door?

Soothsayer lights up a holy smoke
                 Bm F#m A        
Exhales real big          Stings 
       Bm F#m A
my eyes
         Bm F#m A                
And he said, I can make you work 
     Bm F#m A
hard for nothing
       Bm F#m A                  
Strive in the dirt and even spook
              A
 you with the Holy Ghost

D A                               
    I can make you walk around the
 D     A
 block twice
                    D  A
just when you wanna go home
                     D      A
Make you jump like a circus dog 
through my hoops of fire

Em               G            D 
You won't find a back door to 
         A
