Broken Heart

B
A broken heart be lovely
E             B
Broken on the ground
B
A knife stuck in the ribs of me
    C#             E
Would be better be found
B
Hanging tree blowing gently
E
A noose would be ignored
        B     B/A#     B/G#     B/F#
Then to stand upon the receiving end
      E                 B
Of the right hand of the Lord


F#             C#
Like a thirsty cowboy
     E                    B
In a lake his tongue does rest
F#             C#
Jumps in and he cannot swim
    E
And drowns himself to death

F#         C#
Or a frozen mountaineer
  E
He chugs up to a stop
 B          B/A#     B/G#    B/F#
Catching his boot heel in a rock
E
Two miles from the top

B   E

F#              C#
An Olympic super swimmer
     E              B
Whose belly doesn't flop
  F#           C#
A super racecar driver
     E                B
Whose pit, it can't be stopped
  F#            C#
A honey dripping hipster
    E
Whose bee cannot be bopped
B      B/A#   B/G#     B/F#
Better to be rolled in oats
    E                B
Than from the roll be dropped


B
A broken heart would satisfy
E          B
Broken in a mess
B
A severed eye would gratify
C#             E
My soul, I must confess
B
I'd rather have no eyes at all
E
Be blind upon the floor
       B     B/A#     B/G#      B/F#
Then to stand upon the receiving end
E                       B
Of the right hand of the Lord

       B     B/A#     B/G#      B/F#
Then to stand upon the receiving end
E                       B
Of the right hand of the Lord
