Electric Six – Bleed For The Artist (Guitar)

C#
Ninety-nine rooms in the Pharaoh's tombs

         E
He was young and hungry king

    C#
He spent a lot of time in his room, staring at the moon

         E
And he loved to hear the young girls sing

                 C#
Remember as you bleed for the artist

                         E
He only goes the hardest way

            C#
And as you plead for him to start this

                            E   
You live to hear the artist say: I love you!

              C#
So let the criticism start and blow that poison dart

      E
You never disrespect

                   C#   
The artist or his art 

     E
The one that creates the art

C#
Sixty-nine dudes just to get you in the mood

             E
I got some issues with your style, girl

       C#
If my desires do intrude this pleasant interlude

               E
I'll probably stay here a little while, girl

              C#
And now you bleed for the artist

                             E
Though it might not be the smartest play

            C#
And as you try to tear apart this

                          E
You live to hear the artist say: I love you!

             C#
So let the nihilism start and read a little Sartre

      E
You never disrespect the artist or his art

             C#
It's such a wild heart - the one that bleeds the art

E                                                                     C#
Descend these scales of hollow chorus dressed girls of angels on my heart

E                                                                     C#
Statues of males and Christs adorn, but begs the question "Is this art?"

C#
Hey, bleed for the artist

                          E
He only goes the hardest way

             C# 
And as you plead for him to start this

                             E
You live to hear the artist say: That's right!

               C#
So throw your items in the cart

     E
And burn the Super Mart

         C#            A
You can never separate

                      Ab
The artist from the art        

                 E
What finally stopped my heart

           C#
Where to start?

E                             C#
We are the young and hungry patrons of the arts

E                            C#
We are the young and hungry patrons of the arts

E                        
What finally stopped my heart

       C#
What finally stopped my heart
