[Intro]
F G Am C G Am x 2
[Verse 1]
C G Am F G Am I was down in Georgia nothing was as real C G Am F G Am As the street beneath my feet descending into air
C G Am F G Am
[Verse 2]
C G Am F G Am The cauldron was a bubbling, the flesh was lean C G Am F G Am And the women moved forward like piranhas in a stream C G Am F G Am They spread themselves before me an offering so sweet C G Am F G Am And they beckoned and they beckoned come on darling eat
[Chorus]
F G Am C G Am Eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat F G Am C G Am You eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat
[Verse 3]
C G Am F G Am They circled around me natives in a ring C G Am F G Am And I saw their souls a-withering like snakes in chains C G Am F G Am And they wrapped themselves around me, what a treat C G Am F G Am And they rattled their tales hissing’ come on let’s eat
[Chorus]
F G Am C G Am Eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat F G Am C G Am You eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat
[Instrumental]
F G Am C G Am x 4
[Verse 4]
C G Am F G Am I felt a rising in my throat the girls a-saying grace C G Am F G Am And the air, the viscous air pressed against my face C G Am F G Am And it all got too damn much for me just got too damn rough C G Am F G Am And I pushed away my plate and said boys I've had enough C G Am F G Am And I laid upon the table another piece of meat C G Am F G Am And I opened up my veins to them and said come on eat
[Chorus]
F G Am C G Am Eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat F G Am C G Am You eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat F G Am C G Am You eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat F G Am C G Am You eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat
[Outro]
F G Am C G Am ‘Cause I was down in Georgia nothing was as real F G Am C G Am As the street beneath my feet descending into hell F G Am So eat eat eat F G Am You eat eat eat F G Am You eat eat eat F G Am Eat eat eat
