G                                           G
Cain got a milk-eyed mule from the auction, Abel got a telephone

G                          Gadd9             G
And even the last of their blue-eyed babies know

         C                  D                       G
That the burning man is the color of the end of day

               C                          D                       G
And how every tongue that gets bit always has another word to say

G
Cain bought a blade from some witch at the window, Abel bought a bag of weed

G                          Gadd9               G
And even the last of their brown-eyed babies see

          C                  D                       G
That the cartoon king has a tattoo of a bleeding heart

                         C                               D                           G
There ain't a penthouse Christian wants the pain of the scab, but they all want the scar

           C                                       D              G
How every mouth sings of what it's without, so we all sing of love (oh)

                      C                               D                        Em  D  C  Bm  A  G
And how it ain't one dog who's good at fuckin' and denying who he's thinkin' of (oh)

Em  D  C  Bm  A  G
Ooh

G
Cain heard a cat tumble limp off the rooftop, Abel heard his papa pray

     Gadd9                                   G
And even the last of the black-eyed babies say

            C                         D                      G
That every saint has a chair you can borrow and a church to sell

                     C                           D                        G
That the wind blows cold across the back of the master and the kitchen help

                       C                      D                   G
There's a big pile of innocent bones still holding up the garden wall

                       C                        D               G
And it was always the broken hand we learned to lean on after all (oh-oh-oh-oh)

                  C                           D                    G
How God knows if Christ came back, he would find us in a poker game (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)

                       C                           D                                Em D C Bm A G
After finding out the drugs were all free, but they won't let you out the door again
