Chords

[Intro] Am Am [Verse]
     Am                    Dm                  Am
Ring anvil for the deal we dealt us by mistake

                  Am       C             E
Our angel made of steel is big enough to break

           Am                        D
'Cause the rust is at his heel and I swear I seen him shaking

    Am                Em             A
But who'll be here to bring the body home
[Chorus]
    A
The cabaret was crowded as her bed on payday night

    E                           A
And Sammy hit a soldier and the fools began to fight

   D                                A             D
We scattered like the shadow in the early morning light

    A               E              A     Em Am
But she remained to bring the body home
[Verse]
Em  Am                        Dm                    Am
For longer that it seemed she loved some honest man

                       Am         C                 E
Who chased her wildest dreams and rode her like the wind

         Am                                D
And they forged the bloody chains for some wounds too deep for mending

    Am               Em             A
But she was there to bring the body home
[Chorus]
    A
The barker stood there smiling as he beckoned us inside

   E                                 A                
To see the shining creature that had grown too big to hide

     D                                 A                D
Look here he said he's harmless and we wished he wasn't lyin'

       A               E              A     Em Am
'Cause few remained to bring the body home
[Verse]
     Am                    Dm
Ring anvil for the deal we dealt us by mistake

    Am                     C             E
Our angel made of steel is big enough to break

           Am                  D       N.C.
'Cause the rust is at his heel   and I swear I seen him shaking

    C                G              F     Am
And we'll be here to bring the body home
