Intro:Am (4 bars)

(Verse)
Am          Dm       Am           F         G        Dm
Your mother made you cry when she told you about the womb

G       E      Am
And how people die.

Am                 Dm            Am    F         G
Watching over you when you were young smiling as you learned 

Dm         G         E           Am
to crawl.  You donít know her at all.


(Chorus)
Am     F     C               E    Am
Itís a dirty job but theyíre very suave

      F       C             E     Am
Jesus high on wine drinking turpentine


(Verse)
Am                    Dm   Am      F        G        Dm
Daddyís voice like an intercom connected to a hidden room

G           E     Am
Were yellow roses bloom

Am                   Dm     Am           F       
A sacred mountain near Peterborough where clouds paint a 

G          Dm             E         Am
picture so calm that they swallowed mom.


(Chorus)
Am     F     C               E    Am
Itís a dirty job but theyíre very suave

      F       C            E     Dm
Jesus high on wine weeping turpentine

Dm                           Am
What are they doing in there?  Have they got guns?


         F          C        Dm
Make you run up and down the same hill

E                      Am
And theyíll break your will.

(Verse)
Am               Dm           Am            F
Was it Christmas or groundhog day when your friends turned 

   G   Dm  G        E            Am
to shadows and they dragged you away.

Am               Dm          Am   F              G 
Tell nobody that youíve been here donít breath a word thatís 

     Dm                  G                   E       Am
been said. Now thereís a scar(whispered)upon your forehead.


(Chorus)
Am     F     C               E    Am
Itís a dirty job but theyíre very suave

      F       C            E     Dm
Jesus high on wine weeping turpentine

Dm                           Am
What are they doing in there?  Have they got guns?

Dm                  Am                      E
Whether Mt. Pinutubo or the threat of Godís love

         F         C                Dm
Thereíll always be something thatís raining 

E         Am
