As recorded by the Manic Street Preachers (From the 2009 Album JOURNAL FOR PLAGUE LOVERS) [Intro] Bm D [Verse 1]
D
He stood like a statue

                            Bm
As he was beaten across the face

Bm
With a horse whip

                          D
Where the wounds already exist

D
A well-oiled rifle

                          Bm 
And never lonely, Marlon JD

Bm
If you want to come down, come down

                       A E Bm
Give him some dignity
[Chorus]
        A  E   Bm
So say, so say Marlon JD

D  Bm   A  E   Bm        D
So say, so say Marlon JD
[Verse 2]
D
Learn to live without clutter

                    Bm
To live without luxury

Bm
Sometimes I envy them

                            D
Goodnight yourself, Marlon JD

D
He did not defend himself

                         Bm
He didn't even raise his hand

Bm
I will not beg because

Bm
This is how I am
[Chorus]
        A  E   Bm
So say, so say Marlon JD

D  Bm   A  E   Bm       
So say, so say Marlon JD
[Bridge]
Em
"Bare floors, plain white walls

Em
No window curtains, nothing but essentials

Em
With no luxuries, no ornamentation

Em
Utter simplicity

Em
But it's also clean

Em
It's clean as a rifle."
[Guitar Solo] Em A [Chorus]
        A  E   Bm
So say, so say Marlon JD

So say, so say Marlon JD
[Outro]
