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


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

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



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



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



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