there’s plenty of time to make you mine.”

              C                     G            Dm

There are millions of rolling eyes that still cling to me.

Every language of king is concerned.
BRIDGE:
      Am
So why

            Dm
did you bawl

         G             D        A
from the spell of some old holy song

          G            D        A
that some liar laughed as he composed,

     G      D           A
some liar I loved to control?”

THIRD VERSE: *For the first 4 lines there's no guitar, but the bass copies the notes the guitar would playing*
  Am          C      F      Am
A black sheep boy dissolves

       C         F           Am
in hot cream, in sweet moans,

        C            F           Am
in each dead bed and empty home,

        C            F         Am
in each seething bacterium.

        C          F
Killing softly and serial,

             C              G            Dm
he lifts his head, handsome, horned, magisterial.

         C            G            Dm
He's the smell of the moonlight wisteria.

         C             G     Dm
He’s the thrill of the abecedarian.

         C         G               Dm
(See the muddy hoofprints where he carried yo
THIRD CHORUS:
            C                 G         Dm       F
And there’s plenty of ways to claim his crimes tonight,

            C                   G         Dm
and there’s plenty of things to do on his dime.

            C                 G        Dm      F
And there’s plenty of ways to wear his hide tonight.

           C   G              Dm
You’ve got yours and I’ve got mine.

           C   G              Dm
You’ve got yours and I’ve got mine.
OUTRO:
       Dm
So why

              Am
did you flee?

          G              D            A
Don’t you know you can’t leave his control

     G            D               A
only call all his wild works your own?

        G              D             A
So come back and we’ll take them all on.

        G            D           A
So come back to your life on the lam.

        G            D               A
So come back to your old black sheep man.
He says
      G          D           A
“I am waiting on hoof and on hand.

     G            D         A
I am waiting, all hated and damned.

     G          D           A
I am waiting, I snort and I stamp.

     G            D           A   D
I am waiting, you know that I am,

       G          D           A
calmly waiting to make you my lamb”
