Messiah Ward (Cave) - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds from Abattoir Blues Intro: Bb Cm Bb Cm Cm ]x2
Cm
I hope you're sitting comfortably
I saved you the best seat in the house Right up in the front row The stars have been torn down The moon is locked away And the land is banked in frozen snow You are a force of nature, dear Your breath curls from your lips As the trees bend down their branches And touch you with their fingertips
         Ab                     Ab  G
They are bringing out the dead now

                       Cm
It's easy just to look away

         Ab                     Ab  G
They are bringing out the dead now

                            Cm
It's been a strange, strange day

Cm
We could navigate out position by the stars
But they've taken out the stars The stars have all gone I'm glad you've come along We could comprehend our condition by the moon But they've ordered the the moon not to shine Still, I 'm glad you've come along I was worried out of my mind
                 Ab                     Ab  G
Cause, they keep bringing out the dead now

                     Cm
It's easy just to look away

        Ab                    Ab G
They're bringing out the dead 

                            Cm
And it's been a long, strange day

Cm
You can move up a little closer
I will throw a blanket over We can weigh all the tears in one hand Against the laughter in the other We could be hanging around here for centuries Trying to make sense of this, my dear While the planets try to get organised Way above the stratosphere
         Ab                     Ab  G
But they bringing out the dead, now

                           Cm
It's easy if we just walk away

                Ab                     Ab  G
Cause they keep bringing out the dead, now

                Cm                   
It's been a long, long day
