Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – White Elephant (Guitar)

                 C5                Bb5
The white hunter sits on his porch

                  C5                Bb5
With his elephant gun and his tears

C5
He’ll shoot you for free

Bb5
If you come around here

                                    C5     Bb5
A protester kneels on the neck of a statue

                        C5      Bb5
The statue says I can’t breathe

              C5                       Bb5
The protester says now you know how it feels

                             C5 Bb5
And he kicks it into the sea

       Bb5                     C5
I am a Botticelli Venus with a penis

                   Bb5           C5 Bb5 F5 Eb5
Riding an enormous scalloped fan

                     F5              Eb5
I’m a sea foam woman rising from the spray

                     C5   Bb5 C5 Bb5
I’m coming to do you harm

C5                       Bb5
With the gun in my pants full of elephant tears

C5                     Bb5 C5 Bb5 C5 Bb5
And a seahorse on each arm

                        C5   Bb5
With my elephant gun of tears

               C5          Bb5
I’ll shoot you all for free

C5          Bb5
If you even think about coming round here

C5                            Bb5
I’ll shoot you in the fucking face

                       C5          Bb5
If you think of coming around here

           Eb5                          G5 F5
I’m an ice sculpture melting in the sun

           G5                         F5  C5
I’m an ice sculpture with an elephant gun

           Bb5                              C5    Bb5
I’m an ice sculpture made of elephant-sized tears

                                     C5 Bb5
Raining gas and salt upon your heads

                  C5                 Bb5
The president has called in the Feds

          F5                      Eb5
I’ve been planning this for years

                      F5
I’ll shoot you in the fucking face

Eb5
If you think of coming around here

G5
I’ll shoot you for just for fun

G5                             C5
I’m a statue lying on my side, in the sun

Bb5                            C5
With the memory of an elephant

Bb5
Evaporating before your eyes

C5                    Bb5
Becoming a great grey cloud of wrath

C5                       B5
Roaring my salt upon the earth

F5
I will shoot you all for free

       Eb5                   F5 Eb5
If you so much as look at me

          C
A time is coming

          C
A time is nigh

        F
For the kingdom

       C
In the sky

          C
Don’t ask who

          C
Don’t ask why

          F              C
There’s a kingdom in the sky

                 G
We’re all coming home

      C
For a while

          C
A time is coming

          C
A time is nigh

        F              C
For the kingdom in the sky

                 G
We’re all coming home

      C
For a while

          C
A time is coming

          C
A time is nigh

        F              C
For the kingdom in the sky

                 G
We’re all coming home

     C
In a while
