Bullets For The New Born King

C  C/B       Am      Am/G      
No one looks in this place for 
F      F/E    Dsus2
motive or any hope
            G               C     
But for the dead shot of an amber 
           F               Dsus2
glass, the blue light of a votive
C       C/B       Am     Am/G   
Rain obscured the window as the 
F        F/E           Dsus2
pain was dulled by the grains
G           C                    
Absolved by spoons in flames and 
F               Dsus2
fear in time dissolving


G         G/A G/B C   C/B  Am 
 It's not for the faint of 
   Am/G    F
pulse or anybody false
      Dsus2                    
Those amateurs who simply she'd 
        G     Gsus4  G
their skins
G      G/A G/B   C    C/B Am  
 Where are those traitors now,
 Am/G    F
 we once called patriots?
               Dsus2               
Just like those saints who seem to 
               G   Gsus4
revel in their sins


C      B         Bb          A 
Oh, my eyes were filled with 
              G
tears that were stinging

After our assassin's work was done
    Am        G          F    Em
The bells and hands were only 
            Dsus2
there for the wringing
            F                      
And we were bringing bullets for 
           C C/B Am Am/G F F/E Dsus2
the new-born king



C           C/B      Am      
The trumpet sound lamenting, 
Am/G     F    F/E           
tramping down the blooms of the 
     Dsus2
deceased
           G                  C   
The double agent girl and the 
               F               
fallen priest were heading for the 
Dsus2
border
C         C/B    Am      Am/G  
Somewhere in the high command, 
      F          F/E    Dsus2
there stayed the palest hand
G                  C            
That saw the order countermand, 
F               Dsus2
erased a tape recorder
              F                    
And then they hung him from a 
  C
window cord



G        G/A  G/B  C  C/B Am  
 Swallow down that voodoo vial and 
Am/G F
stay your breath a while
   Dsus2                        
Before we spill the tale that we 
      G     Gsus4  G
have spun
G    G/A G/B C C/B Am    
 And now I shall confide 
Am/G       F
all that I have denied
           Dsus2                   
Oh, I'm so sorry for the things 
  G Gsus4
I've done



C      B         Bb          A 
Oh, my eyes were filled with 
              G
tears that were stinging
C     B     Bb       A        G
After our assassin's work was done
    Am        G          F    Em
The bells and hands were only 
            Dsus2
there for the wringing
            F                      
And we were bringing bullets for 
           C C/B Am Am/G F F/E Dsus2
the new-born king
