black midi – The Defence (Guitar)

C                     E
When crowds swarm out doorways

        Am              G   C
And the street lamps are lit

F         Em
One of my disciples

D7             G7
Begins his wandering

C                 E
In alleys and the main streets

Am              G   C
He searches for men

      F       Em7           Dm7  G
Their virile, pathetic, and lame

Am           Em
Leading them in

Am     Em               Dm
To our establishment he starts to cry

G           G7
Every night

Cmaj7  Fmaj7  Em7  Em
 "Prostrate, supine

D                   G
Well-groomed, divine

Cmaj7 Fmaj7   Em7  Em
 Whatever you like

D            G
Please, sir, tonight"

G7
Mmm

C              E     E7 Am                  Gm7  C
A brothel is a business no different than a bank

   F           Em7        D7       G
As safe and as formal and sanitary

   C                      E   E7
My girls all destined for Hell

Am             Gm7    C
Or so says our priest

    Fmaj7     Em7
But find me a Christian

     Dm7                         G
Who spends as much time on their knees

Am        Em
Closer to God

     Am        Em           Dm7
They honor his glory in the best way

G
Everyday

F#m             B7
Without my aid, they'd be in chains

   F                  E7
Or disembowelled in a backstreet lane

D#                         A
I'll stop selling when you stop buying

G
'Til the end of time you can hear the cry

Cmaj7  Fmaj7  Em7  Em
 I'm "prostrate, supine

D             D7     G
Well-groomed, divine

Cmaj7 Fmaj7  Em7  Em
 Whatever you like

D7                   G7sus4
Please, sir, tonight

          C
Follow me tonight"
