[Verse]
Am Bb/C - C7 Fdim C Snow. Ce - ment and ivory young towers. F/A Em/B C G#dim Am F G/D /D-/E Someone called us Babylon - those hungry hunters tracking down the hours. G/F /G-/A Eb/Bb Bb But where were all your shoulders when we cried? Fm/Ab G7 Cm Were the darlings on the sideline dreaming up such cherished lies - F/A | Bb Cm7 | Bb/D Cm7 - Bb | to whisper in your ear before you die?
[Chorus]
Eb Eb7 Ab Bb It's party time for the guys in the tower of Babel. Cm Ab Eb/Bb Bb7sus4 - Bb7 Sodom meet Gomorrah. Cain meet A - bel. Fm Cm Ab G Cm Have a ball y'all. See the letches crawl with the call girls under the table. Ab Watch them dig their graves - Eb/Bb Bb Cm 'Cause Jesus don't save the guys in the tower of Babel. Ab Eb/Bb Watch them dig their graves - Bb Fm Bb/D Eb 'Cause Jesus don't save the guys in the tower of Babel. No. No. No.

[Verse]
Am Bb/C - C7 Fdim C Junk. An - gel. This closet's always stacked. F/A Em/B C G#dim Am F G/D /D-/E Dealers in the basement filling your prescription for a brand new heart attack. G/F /G-/A | Eb/Bb Bb But where were all your shoulders when we cried? Fm/Ab G7 Cm Were the doctors in attendance saying how they felt so sick inside? F/A | Bb Cm7 | Bb/D Cm7 - Bb | Or was it just the scalpel blade that lied?
(Repeat Chorus twice)
