The Tradition

[Primera Parte]

Dm                 C
Oh the loneliest girl in town
     G                    F
Is bought for pennies of prize
     Dm               C
We dress her up in lovely gowns
      G           F
She's easy on the eyes
     Dm                C
Her soul is black and it's a fact
        G                  F
That a sneer will eat you alive
         Dm           C
And the buyer always brings her back
         G               F
Because all she does is cry

[Estribillo]

   Dm
So take what you want take what you 
can
C
Take what you please don't give a 
damn
G                   F
Ask for forgiveness never permission
Dm
So take what you want take what you 
can
C
Take what you please don't give a 
damn
G                      F
It's in the blood and this is 
tradition
Dm        C  G  F
Ooh-ooh-ooh
